Criteria for Determining the Prognosis of Periodontally-Involved Teeth

Monday Session

Program Track: Treatment of Inflammatory Periodontal Diseases

Moderator: Billy W. Akin

Speaker: Preston D. Miller, Jr.

This presentation will discuss a scoring system to accurately determine the prognosis on periodontally-involved teeth. Using this system, the clinician will be able to precisely tell patients what the outcome of periodontal treatment can be. The scoring system, evidenced-based and statistically-derived, uses patients a minimum of 15 years post- treatment.

Educational Objectives:

• Teach participants how to score periodontally-involved teeth.
• Discuss case presentation techniques, increasing the number of patients accepting treatment.
• Learn how to improve the compliance of periodontal maintenance patients.
