Top tips

    • Failure to diagnose or treat periodontitis fully is responsible for 45% of medicolegal claims against dentists and their teams (Dental Protection).
      • Dentists must examine, take appropriate x-rays and diagnose the disease using use the new periodontal classification to clearly explain the disease and create a clear action plan. 
        • Goals for the treatment outcomes for the dentist and patient must be agreed upon.
          • The prognosis of treatment was also discussed and agreed.

          Debridement. How-The educational step

          Supragingival debridement (ultrasonic scaler), Oral Health Education and Motivation. This is usually provided by the DHT and it must be the same as the advice introduced by the dentist. Historical barriers to poor oral health must be identified and a plan made for improvement with patient goals in mind.

          Subgingival debridement (ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments) and reinforcement of oral health education. This should take place over a number of visits and the DHT should be given some freedom to determine the number of visits. Appointments should be a minimum of 30 minutes each
