SUMMARY:American Dental Association – Washington DC – Live Event – SmileCon 2025 – Decoding Disease: Contemporary Diagnostic Testing in the Dental Office
DESCRIPTION:Treating oral and systemic diseases in today’s culture deserves our full attention\, now more than ever. It’s time to uncover the root causes of disease and empower patients to truly understand their health risks. \nThe days of relying solely on visual exams and educated guesses are behind us.

You will learn how to encourage health change behavior\, advocate for your patient and create collaborative\, co-referral relationships with other health care professionals. \n\nLearning Objectives:\n\nIdentify and implement evidence-based\, chairside diagnostic tests for detecting caries activity\, periodontal pathogens\, high-risk HPV strains and specific oral fungal infections\nInterpret diagnostic test results to uncover underlying disease causes and assess systemic health risks\, enhancing the quality and precision of patient care\nDevelop strategies to promote behavioral health changes for your patients and foster interdisciplinary collaboration through effective advocacy and co-referral relationships

SUMMARY:CES - Denver\, CO - Live Event - Getting off the Peri-Go-Round
DESCRIPTION:Course Description: Why do we still call scaling and root planing “treatment” for periodontal disease when it so rarely leads to long-term stability? Periodontal disease is both a driver and a consequence of multiple systemic conditions—making it one of the most complex challenges in dentistry. A truly effective approach requires more than instrumentation; it demands a personalized strategy that addresses the many contributing factors simultaneously. \nThis course will explore the integration of salivary dysfunction\, nutritional deficiencies\, fungal infections\, undiagnosed or unstable diabetes\, sleep and breathing disorders\, acid reflux\, food sensitivities and tobacco addiction into periodontal care. The goal: white\, tight gums supported by a healthy microbial profile that predicts long-term stability. By embracing a complete health model\, hygienists can finally shift from “just scaling” to delivering meaningful\, lasting outcomes—earning a living with their brains and hearts\, not just their hands. \nYou will learn to: \n· Evaluate oral and systemic risk factors for a personalized approach to care \n· Use salivary diagnostics for high-risk pathogens as your compass \n· Develop a self-prophy concept that replaces traditional home-care educational models \n· Encorporate chairside diagnostics for HbA1C and get support for glycemic control when needed \n· Develop facilitation skills for helping the patient address important lifestyle related behavior changes \nYou will learn to: \n· Assess oral and systemic risk factors to create a truly personalized approach to periodontal care \n· Use salivary diagnostics for high-risk pathogens as a guide for treatment planning and monitoring \n· Introduce the “self-prophy” concept to replace outdated home-care education models \n· Incorporate chairside diagnostics such diabetes screening and HbA1C testing and collaborate with patients and providers to support glycemic control \n· Strengthen facilitation skills to help patients make meaningful\, lifestyle-related behavior changes

It’s true that for every 100 Americans\, 26 will have Obstructive Sleep Apnea and only 4 know it. But it doesn’t start with OSA.
