A Tale of Two Hygienists Podcast

This week we bring back two great episodes that Katrina did for us in 2022. One is about probing implants and the other is about the disease rates we are seeing, but not treating!

Quotes:

"Help me out, Dad. What is the percentage of individuals who have moderate to severe gingivitis? And that number is 27.6% of our patient population. That is according to my Midwest dad by the way."

"And to clarify even more, the population of true individuals, of individuals who are adults, who do not have irreversible bone loss at this point, that percentage is 3.2%. So 3.2% of our patients are considered truly healthy patients."

"For the first time, dental implants have been located in the mouth long enough to actually develop disease around them."

"The vast majority of us were taught in dental and dental hygiene school to be very careful around dental implants."

"When probing a dental implant, about 50% of the PSI or pressure that is typically used around a tooth structure should be applied to identify the base around a pocket affiliated with a dental implant."
