AAP Guidelines: Help Us Find Answers

Program Overview
Periodontal disease starts with a biofilm-based infection that creates a wound that, in turn, induces the inflammatory cascade. This wound must be taken seriously and treated at the earliest possible stages. We tend to think of our diagnoses as dental diagnoses; but there is no such thing as a dental diagnosis. The updated AAP classification system created in 2017 represents a multi-dimensional staging and grading framework for periodontitis and implant health and disease status. A hallmark feature of the updated system brings opportunities for more case specific patient care. Accurate coding for dental, medical and for electronic health records keeping requires a documented medical necessity including a medical diagnosis. Diagnosing, treatment planning, and executing appropriate and necessary periodontal therapies will be reviewed utilizing case presentation.

About Your Presenter
Marvelyn is a registered dental hygienist with over 13 years of clinical and administrative dental experience. She graduated from the College of Southern Nevada in 2016, where she was the president of her dental hygiene class. Marvelyn is one of the few clinicians in Nevada that holds certification in perioscopy, the use of a periodontal endoscope.

Her passions and skill sets are in preventative dentistry, periodontal therapy, and addressing airway issues to improve patients' quality of life. She loves to educate her patients every day and make them aware of the oral-systemic link. Marvelyn has also been with Young Innovations for about 2 years as a Clinical Representative and now as a Clinical Educator.  She believes that knowledge has no value unless you use and share it, sharing is caring. Marvelyn is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest developments in the dental field. Outside of work, Marvelyn is married and is a mom of two children. She and her family love to travel (have been to 18 countries), spend time with family, and friends, and give back to the community in any way they can.
