Unleash the Master Clinician Within
COURSE DESCRIPTON:
Science tells us that passion is contagious. Passion leads to mastery. This presentation is intended to inspire you with current science and technology. The future of Dental Hygiene is worth getting excited about. Literature tells us periodontal disease and oral inflammatory conditions have increased and continue to surge. Doing the same thing expecting a different result was Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity. As a profession, we must rise to the occasion recognizing the time to change is now. The abundance of research implicating the impact of oral inflammation on systemic conditions provides us an opportunity to influence the health and wellness of our patients. We will redesign the hygiene visit to exceed patient expectations and be rewarded by improved outcomes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
- Entertain and educate: Ignite curiosity of each participant to embrace evidence based innovation.
- Ability to describe biofilm/microbiome and it’s role in oral medicine.
- Demystify the new disease model Polymicrobial Synergy and Dysbiosis.
- Convey to patients the role they have in biofilm control. Motivate/Educate. Seeing is believing.
About JODI DEMING:
Jodi started practice as a dental hygienist in 1988. In the early 1990’s frustrated with the understanding of the etiology of periodontal disease became involved with biofilm research. At that time the term was rarely used in dentistry except in the context of dental unit waterlines. As a clinical research associate Jodi was involved with biofilm growth and therapeutic product development evaluating the effect on dental biofilms. Understanding biofilms, she developed a passion about non-surgical therapy, root morphology, and the results of thorough periodontal debridement. Jodi has worked 28 years mastering non-surgical periodontal therapy techniques and procedures. She currently works in both periodontic and prosthodontic practices. Jodi is a national and international educator, clinician, and lecturer. She has presented over a 150 lectures and workshops on advanced integration of ultrasonic and hand instrumentation. Jodi has served as adjunct faculty at the University of Southern California, School of Dentistry, Department of Dental Hygiene and at Spear Education.
