Most patients who have periodontitis respond to routine management, which can include scaling and root planning, periodontal flap surgery (regenerative or respective) and, when treatment fails, the placement of endosseous implants. In general 80% of patients will respond to routine therapy, but the problem remains: what do we do about those who do not respond?

This course is an updated version of the original course Novel Management of the Periodontal Patient: Surgery and Beyond available in the last CDE Cycle. If the original course was claimed by an RCDSO member in Category 1 in the previous cycle, the updated version can only be claimed by that RCDSO member in Category 2 for the current cycle.
