On this week’s episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition, Katrina Sanders, RDH discusses some of the parameters that we use currently, when we're looking at grading guidelines. 

 

Quotes: 

 

“We all know that if new patient shows up in the practice without their previous charting or radiographs, or if we simply don't have quality images or Pario charting, we can't necessarily lean on that.”

 

“However, we're also looking at other emerging risk factors that may be added things like obesity, genetic factors, physical activity, or nutrition.”
