COURSE SUMMARY: Hygienists are Disease Prevention Specialists. Despite all we know about the risks, causes, and treatment of periodontal disease, there is still confusion around what makes up an acceptable periodontal chart. This course will answer questions that hygienists are "afraid to ask" because they feel they should know the answers". The discussion will provide guidance on comprehensive periodontal charting including clinical parameters, frequency, insurance coding, compliance and AAP guidelines.
