DENTAL HYGIENISTS SESSION




Introduction to sleep breathing disorders


The course will focus on Obstructive Apnea Syndrome (OSAS). The concepts relating to the physiology of sleep will be introduced first. The most common signs and symptoms of sleep breathing disorders will be illustrated, such as snoring and bruxism and the sentinel role of the dentist and dental hygienist. The indications and methods of use of mandibular advancement devices (MAD) and finally the periodontal implications of OSAS will be explained.


9.30 - 11.00 | Translational approach in clinical and home protocols in the management of periodontal and implant patients


In the management of periodontal and implant patients, based on the new classification, laboratory and clinical research has outlined minimally invasive protocols to reduce the risk of progression of the pathology itself and maintain constant eubiosis over time.

It is therefore essential that the dental hygienist, through proactive therapy, is able to maintain a constant state of homeostasis over time, making use of modern technology for clinical and home support.

The objective of the report will be to provide all the notions based on the gold standard of the literature and provide participants with all the briefs that allow the reduction of the bacterial load over time through natural substances, reducing the chemical pharmacological exposure to the patient long term.


11.00 - 11.45 | Coffee break


11.45 - 13.00 | New minimally invasive strategies for the treatment of peri-implantitis and periodontitis


Periodontitis and peri-implantitis are increasingly frequent pathologies in our practices. It is essential to know how to diagnose and know the various treatment modalities, in particular those that combine effectiveness and patient acceptance. The aim is to remove the infection but also to allow adequate maintenance of the health conditions around the implant and the tooth and to obtain adequate aesthetics. The different methods available will be analysed, such as the use of powders and additional means, and the preparation for the surgical approach and post-operative management will be evaluated. Particular attention is paid to the role of hygienists and the importance of synergistic work with the dentist.
