What is the ACD Mentoring Lecture Program:
The ACD Mentoring Lecture Program is structured so that it benefits everyone involved, creating a direct relationship between student and mentor. Experienced dentists have the opportunity to step up as mentors and students learn about the culture of leadership, ethics, and professionalism by example. The program has gained local recognition with all New York metropolitan area hospitals participating, helping to satisfy their ADA CODA requirements for ethics and practice management.
Lecture Description:
The lecture will discuss the increasing concern over the large number of implant failures due to peri-implantitis. It will also discuss the critical role of patient daily oral hygiene in maintaining peri-implant health and which oral hygiene products are proving most effective in maintaining implant longevity. Attendees will also learn the critical importance of patients taking ownership of the health of their implants and their responsibility in maintaining them daily, at home. When patients understand their role in implant maintenance and are educated in best practices for home care, then a failed implant does not become “the dentist’s screw-up.”
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the importance of having patients assume responsibility for peri-implant tissue health.
- Implement office-based practices for maintaining and restoring optimal peri-implant tissue health.
- Teach best home-care practices to patients for maintaining optimal peri-implant tissue health.
- Describe the causes and the alarming frequency of implant failures in order to mitigate their future occurrence.
