Course 01
Biofilm Management
This course explores advanced biofilm management techniques, including in-office air polishing, ultrasonic scaling, desiccation shock technology, and home-care strategies for disrupting biofilm in the sulcus and interdental spaces to improve patient outcomes.
Learning objectives
- Understand biofilm dynamics: explain the structure, growth, and pathogenic impact of biofilm in the oral cavity, with an emphasis on its role in periodontal and systemic health.
- Master in-office techniques: demonstrate proficiency in using air polishing, ultrasonic scaling, and desiccation shock technology for effective biofilm disruption in clinical settings.
- Enhance patient home-care: educate patients on effective home-care strategies to manage biofilm, focusing on sulcus and interdental space cleaning using appropriate tools and techniques.
