Periodontitis Masterclass: Hidden Truths Every Dentist Needs To Know

Certificate of participation with 1 CME is available

Unlock the clinical truths behind gum disease — probing depth, bone loss, biologic width, root planing & the systemic link. A must-attend for every dentist. Periodontal disease is the most common, most underdiagnosed condition in dentistry — and yet the most treatable when caught early. This power-packed masterclass goes beyond textbook definitions to deliver the hidden clinical truths that transform how you examine, diagnose, and educate your patients about gum disease.

Whether you are a BDS student building your clinical foundation or a practitioner looking to sharpen your diagnostic precision — this session will change what you see when you look at your patient's gums.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand why periodontal disease is painless — and why that silence is dangerous
  • Master critical probing depth: what every millimetre is telling you clinically
  • Decode biologic width, attached gingiva and the anatomy every restorative dentist must respect
  • Differentiate horizontal vs vertical bone loss and read radiographs like a periodontist
  • Understand the science behind scaling and root planing — it is medicine, not just cleaning
  • Perform a complete soft tissue analysis before initiating any treatment
  • Recognise the 5 signs dismissed daily in clinics — and know the right response
  • Connect periodontal signs to systemic diseases: diabetes, CVD, pregnancy, Alzheimer's and more
