Virtual Presentation: Implementing the AAP Periodontal Disease Classification in Clinical Practice

Join us on Saturday, January 25, at 11 am ET, for a FREE virtual presentation sponsored by Colgate. This two-hour presentation will simplify the intricacies of the AAP periodontal disease classification system to improve implementation and take periodontal management of patients to the next level. It is crucial for dental hygienists to have a firm grasp on how to utilize this updated classification system to generate an accurate diagnosis, which will ultimately guide the treatment plan proposed for their patients and facilitate communication.

The Canadian Journal of Dental Hygiene (CJDH), CDHA’s peer-reviewed research journal, has released another episode of CJDH Between the Lines, a video podcast dedicated to supporting evidence-informed dental hygiene practice. This FREE episode features the lead author of a recently published article on the potential use of prebiotics and probiotics as adjunctive therapies for treating periodontal disease. Watch or listen to the video, download the article, and complete some self-reflection questions—giving you two hours of professional development!
