Fast Facts: Perio Edition "Diseases of the Periodontium"


Listen Later

On this week’s episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition your host, Katrina Sanders, RDH takes us through a broad definition of diseases of the periodontium. 

 

Quotes: 

 

“I absolutely love this definition because it clarifies the fact that diseases of the periodontium begin with biofilm. However, it results in subsequent inflammatory and destructive components initiated by the host response.”

 

“Periodontal disease is not simply a disease associated with biofilm.”

 

“Now, more than ever, it's our opportunity to take a look at what these new definitions mean when it comes to the critical work we do as preventive specialists.”
