TITLE: NEW ADVANCES IN ORAL IRRIGATION
COURSE
FEE: Complimentary
COURSE
SUMMARY: A major focus of dentistry for the last
several decades has been the control of periodontal disease. Yet,
despite our best efforts, periodontal disease has reached epidemic
proportions and continues to spiral out of control. Because
periodontal infections are generally chronic in nature, patient
daily home care can be even more important than professional dental
treatment. New advances in oral irrigation are now available that,
along with proper patient education, may finally stem the rising
tide of periodontal disease.
