This presentation will detail the current research linking systemic disease with gingival and periodontal inflammation. Treatment protocols and home care recommendations designed to assist in achieving optimal oral health will be outlined. As research unfolds additional oral discoveries and causal relationships in systemic diseases, discussion will surround the latest evidence-based technology impacting oral health and whole body wellness. This program will additionally provide dental professionals a detailed overview of osteoporosis and its treatments. With the issue of osteonecrosis of the jaw being prominent in the media, understanding the risk benefit ratio of treating osteoporosis with oral bisphosphonates is important for all dental professionals. In osteoporotic patients, long term treatment is essential for bone health and prevention of fracture. Routine dental care is important and should be part of the osteoporosis treatment regimen. Education will help dental professionals balance dental health needs with bone health concerns. “Details for the Bonus CEU will be announced at the end of the session”
