If dental health-care professionals treat all patients with standardized treatments, we assume that every patient is the “average patient.” We often see patients who are outliers and do not respond as expected to treatment. The 2017 AAP/EFP World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions (2017 WWDC) includes individualized risk assessment in periodontal diagnosis. This risk assessment can allow dental health-care professionals to deliver personalized periodontal care. This course will address how to incorporate the periodontal disease classification into real-world dental practice and will include a step-by-step approach to case assessment to create diagnostic calibration of the dental team using the 2017 WWDC system to identify disease severity and risk of future disease progression.
