8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. -- Periodontics: Translating Perio Diagnoses into Clinical Practice and Too Little, Too Much: Getting the Soft Tissue Just Right
Presented by: Dr. Adam Saltz, who maintains a practice in South Portland, Maine and is the managing editor for Decisions in Dentistry. Dr. Saltz graduated from the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he obtained his Master of Science degree and Certificate in Periodontics. He completed his dental training and received a Master of Public Health degree from Nova Southeastern University. ADA recognized him in 2023 with a 10 Under 10 Award for his contributions in education, public health and organized dentistry. Dr. Saltz has no relevant financial relationships to disclose.

Part 1 Translating Perio Diagnoses into Clinical Practice - Patients with advanced periodontal destruction pose a unique challenge to the restorative dentist. Arriving at the proper diagnosis and prognosis for patients with poor oral and overall health will improve the way we rehabilitate an otherwise hopeless dentition.
Part 2 Getting the Soft Tissue Just Right - This session will aid the dental team as they diagnose, treat and maintain mucogingival defects and excessive gingival display. The team can set reasonable clinical expectations and improve long-term health and marginal stability.

Education methods: lecture, slide presentation and discussion.
