Perio

On this week’s episode, we begin the dialog around the 2017 AAP classification systems by talking about periodontal health. In 2017, the American Academy of Periodontology proposed that there were four distinctive levels of periodontal health, depending on the state of the periodontium itself.

This week we’re going to unpack weird facts and this is coming to us from a study from Genesis publications. This weird fact is kind of an interesting postulation, if you will. This study, entitled The covid-19 Pathway, proposes the fact that there could be an alternative route of sars-cov-2 infection.

This week kicks off the conversation about taking a look at the American Periodontology and the way that their World Federation workshop in 2017 changed the way we were expected to look at, diagnose, and address diseases of the periodontium.

Fast Facts – Perio Edition Episode 5   [Andrew Johnston, RDH]Welcome back,  everyone.

And now, please welcome your host, Katrina Sanders.   [Katrina Sanders, RDH]Hello and welcome to Fast Facts –

Oh, my gosh, you guys, we are back and this week we’re picking up the conversation we started last week about new concepts in periodontal diagnostics.

This week we are looking at the 2017 guidelines from JADA, offering guidance for the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Now, while we understand that there has been an incredible evolution in the utilization of prophylactic antibiotics prior to dental procedures, we also understand that not all patients present with the same physiologic conditions.

This week we’re talking about SARS-CoV-2 and the mouth. You guys, a new research study that came out of the National Institute of Health is now indicating that scientists are finding evidence that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for causing COVID-19 has been found to infect the mouth’s cells.

This week, we’re going to unpack some of the things that we understand with regards to antibiotic premedication. Of note, for a long time, we have had a lot of shifts in what’s been going on with regards to premedication guidelines. And now we’re going to start looking at over the next few weeks some information about how premedication guidelines have continued to evolve in our profession.

That’s right! I’m going to be integrating a new segment from time to time called Weird Facts, where we’re going to take a look at something that honestly is just weird, but something that we need to have a conversation about you guys, as clinicians!
