The office would like to thank Dr. George Kyd and Dr. Thomas Schaberg from West Port Periodontics for offering such a great seminar. The continuing education course covered three subjects.
Guest speaker, Dr. Braga, discussed the laser assisted new attachment prodedure (LANAP). LANAP is an FDA-cleared laser treatment protocol that offers a less painful, more successful treatment alternative than conventional surgery options. LANAP is a scientifically, research proven method that results in periodontal regeneration, new bone growth and gum tissue reattachment.
The next subject discussed was Osteoporosis and it's relationship to oral health. It's important to always update your dentist on any changes in medical history or medications. Osteoporosis and associated medications can affect dental treatment planning, jaw and periotdontal health.
The third subject was presented by Nobel Biocare. They presented an update on implant restoration: cemented vs. screw retained implants.
All three subjects were presented well and the office is excited to implement what we learned!
