This course is designed to equip dental hygienists with the skills to implement a comprehensive approach to treating our patients while they are chairside. This course will review risk assessments and clinical cases to provide a practical approach to implementing science-based literature that is both effective and feasible for the current demands in practices. OBJECTIVES: • Review Oral Pathologies that show evidence of systemic health issues • Identify when to refer the patient out for blood work • Discover proper risk assessments for enhanced preventive oral health • Investigate the latest technologies to prevent and treat both hard and soft tissue disease From Pockets to Pathogens: Maximize Technology for Optimal Periodontal Therapy Success Dentists Administrators Dental Hygienists Dental Assistants 1–4pm, Thursday 6/6 LOCATION: NEVADA TYPE: REGULAR SESSION CEU: 3 DESCRIPTION: Are you tired of treating patients with bleeding gums? We know that healthy gums don’t bleed. Therefore, having a team approach to inflammation reduction is essential. Often, improper coding prevents the patient from having the coverage they deserve, and most private practices lack the protocols and systems to effectively treat periodontal disease. This course is designed to empower the entire team, both clinicians and business team members. OBJECTIVES: • Identify 7 steps to promote patient compliance with treatment recommendations while increasing productivity • Access the 2017 AAP Periodontal Classifications and review case studies • Discuss DNA testing, chairside microscope education, and laser implementation • Review new and innovative ways to improve the chairside experience for both the patient and the clinician including voice recognition technologies, instruments, and new home care items that will optimize patient compliance Amber Auger, MPH, RDH Amber Auger, MPH, RDH, is a practicing dental hygienist with a mission to elevate the standard of care to determine the root cause of oral diseases.

Gupta, DDS, after completing a one-year GPR in Cleveland, started a practice from scratch in 2005. Armed with what he considered adequate knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, he watched as his practice floundered, finances became un-predictable, and his lower back and spirit toward his profession became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, he made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self; attempting any and all personal and professional “experiments” in selfimprovement. More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution-oriented dental team; and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.
