Course title: Boning Up on Bone: Considerations of Bone Metabolism and Disease in Oral Health

Course Description: Periodontitis can be considered the most prevalent ‘bone disease’ affecting older adults—it has been estimated that the majority of the American population over 65 years of age has mild, moderate or severe alveolar bone loss.  Bone metabolism is also be compromised by a variety of systemic diseases and disorders.  Most believe osteoporosis to be the major public health threat to bone health.

·       It’s no longer just about removing plaque and calculus…it’s topographical, microscopic debridement.

·       New treatment protocols based on priority patients and priority sites
