Course Structure: Comprehensive Learning in Three Phases

Each phase of our Masterclass guides you closer to becoming a periodontal therapy expert. Dive into a clear, practical learning journey — from essential foundations to advanced treatment planning and clinical execution.

📚 Phase 1: Comprehensive Knowledge and Treatment Planning

In Phase 1, delegates will acquire in-depth knowledge on the management of periodontal disease through Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy (NSPT) within the primary care setting.
The emphasis is on achieving high clinical success rates, supported by scientific evidence and the appropriate use of recommended products and techniques.

This phase also focuses on:

Treatment planning for periodontal disease management.
Effective execution of NSPT in real clinical settings.
Comprehensive record keeping to meet legal and ethical standards.
Enhancing communication skills to discuss treatment plans clearly and confidently with patients.
Gaining valid consent through informed discussions.
Understanding legal aspects, including litigation surrounding periodontal disease, recent GDC cases, and how evidence is evaluated and presented.

Aims

Equip delegates to diagnose, treatment plan, and execute NSPT effectively in primary care settings.
Build confidence in applying a structured, evidence-based approach to periodontal treatment.

Objectives

By the end of Phase 1, delegates will:

Understand the current aetiology, progression, and treatment approaches for periodontal disease.
Diagnose and classify periodontal disease following the 2017 Classification and develop treatment plans in line with S3 Treatment Guidelines (2021).
Discuss the scientific evidence behind various oral hygiene products and techniques used during the hygiene phase of NSPT.
Master comprehensive record keeping practices to support clinical decision-making and meet regulatory standards.
Gain skills in patient motivation, oral hygiene instruction, and achieving patient compliance.
Recognize when to refer patients for specialist care and how to communicate referral needs appropriately.

Anticipated Learning Outcomes

After completing Phase 1, participants will be able to:

Perform thorough patient assessments and necessary examinations within their scope of practice.
Diagnose and classify periodontal disease using the latest standards.
Formulate individualized treatment plans, obtain valid patient consent, and maintain detailed, contemporaneous clinical records.
Educate patients on disease processes and treatment options in a simple, understandable manner.
Appreciate the importance of a multidisciplinary team approach in delivering optimal periodontal care.
Understand the pathogenesis of periodontal disease and apply this knowledge directly to clinical practice.

📚 Phase 2: Treatment Implementation and Instrumentation Skills

Phase 2 focuses on planning and managing periodontal treatment following non-surgical procedures, while emphasizing the development of advanced instrumentation skills to achieve successful clinical outcomes.

This phase will explore:

How to plan periodontal treatment post-NSPT for optimal results.
The scientific evidence behind the design, use, and recommendation of key instruments and techniques.
Best practices in the effective use of ultrasonic scalers, hand instruments, and air polishing techniques.

Delegates will gain comprehensive, hands-on experience to sharpen their clinical skills, ensuring effective, confident delivery of non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Aims

To refine delegates’ instrumentation skills necessary for successful non-surgical periodontal therapy.
To enhance clinical outcomes through evidence-based instrument and technique selection.

Objectives

By the end of Phase 2, delegates will:

Refresh their knowledge on treatment planning and non-surgical management of periodontal disease.
Learn site-specific techniques for using Gracey curettes during NSPT and achieve effective root surface debridement.
Understand the differences and working mechanisms of ultrasonic scalers (both magnetostrictive and piezoelectric).
Explore various air polishing powders, their properties, and appropriate clinical use for both cosmetic stain removal and periodontal maintenance.
Gain practical experience with:
- Ultrasonic scalers
- Hand instrumentation (Gracey and Universal curettes)
- Supra- and subgingival air polishing
Learn techniques for instrument sharpening to maintain clinical effectiveness.

Anticipated Learning Outcomes

After completing Phase 2, participants will be able to:

Differentiate between magnetostrictive and piezoelectric scalers and their application in clinical settings.
Confidently use ultrasonic scalers, hand instruments, and air polishers during NSPT.
Select appropriate instruments and materials tailored for supra- and sub-gingival periodontal therapy.
Implement the skills learned during lectures and hands-on demonstrations to enhance daily clinical practice.

📚 Phase 3: Periodontal and Implant Maintenance

Building upon the knowledge and skills gained in the previous phases, Phase 3 offers a detailed exploration of periodontal and implant maintenance. Delegates will examine the latest evidence supporting various procedures, instruments, and materials used to maintain periodontal and implant health.

This phase will also focus on:

Developing care plan pathways and establishing practice-wide periodontal protocols for both treatment and referrals.
Implementing individualized care plans for each patient.
Training the entire dental team to promote better collaboration and consistent standards of care.
