Webinar - Use of local and systemic antimicrobials in periodontal disease, by Students, for Students
Aims
To provide an update for the General Dental Practitioner on the appropriate use of antimicrobials in the management of periodontal disease.
Objectives
Over many years the inappropriate and widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in development of bacterial resistance, which may ultimately result in certain infections being untreatable by antibiotics. It is therefore essential that the use of antibiotics is restricted to situations that they can be justified. In this lecture I will discuss how antibiotics should be used for managing periodontal disease, and will aim to cover:
- Background on antibiotics
- Challenges of their use in the periodontal tissues
- Modes of delivery (Systemic vs Topical)
- Indications for use including clinical scenarios
- The latest European consensus statement on antibiotic use
- Antimicrobials in prevention and homecare
- Professional intervention and the use of antibiotics
- Possible alternative therapies
Outcomes
Participants will use the most appropriate antimicrobial treatment for managing periodontal disease.
