Course Description:

 

Do you feel like you need more practice with the AAP classifications?  Join us!

 

This experiential case study event will help guide you through the AAP Classifications.  The focus of this course will be to work through a variety of relatable case studies which will include full periodontal charting, radiographs and client descriptions. We will work together to determine whether the client presents with clinical health, gingivitis or periodontitis.  If the client presents with periodontitis, we will accurately establish the client’s stage and grade.

 

*It is recommended that participants come to this course with basic knowledge of the AAP Classifications.  If you feel you need a full theory course prior to diving into these case studies, ABC’s of AAP Classifications is for you! Click Here to Register.

 

Let’s have fun practically and confidently applying the AAP Classifications!

 

Please note:
 

  • This course will be meeting style meaning you can turn your camera and microphones on to interact and participate!
  • Small class size to accommodate the experiential learning style. Register soon to reserve your spot.

  

Course Objectives:

 

  • Define key terms related to gingival health, gingivitis, periodontitis and peri-implantitis.
  • Calculate bleeding on probing percentages (BOP%).
  • Compare BOP % for gingival health, gingivitis and periodontitis clients.
  • Determine whether a client presents as healthy, gingivitis or periodontitis.
  • Establish the correct stage and grade for a periodontitis client.
  • Choose generalized, localized or molar-incisor pattern in relation to disease distribution.
  • Identify periodontal stability or instability in terms of stable, unstable or in remission.
  • Define an open periodontal pocket and a closed periodontal pocket.
  • Examine the gingival margin (GM).
  • Discuss an intact periodontium vs. reduced periodontium.
  • Determine where clinical attachment loss (CAL) is present, and whether CAL is from periodontitis or non-periodontitis related factors. 
  • Differentiate between periodontal disease and periodontal conditions.
  • Investigate and discuss a client’s past periodontal history.
  • Identify periodontal disease risk factors.
