Staging to Success Part 1 Assessment & Diagnosis

Program Overview

This is part one of a three-part series.

Effective periodontal therapy begins with a sharp eye and sound clinical judgment. In this foundational course, we’ll revisit the Assessment and Diagnosis phases of care using the AAP 2018 classification system as a clinical compass. Participants will explore how to gather meaningful data—from probing depths and bleeding scores to systemic and behavioral risk factors—and translate that information into accurate staging and grading of periodontitis. Designed to elevate your diagnostic precision and decision-making, this session lays the groundwork for personalized, patient-centered treatment planning and long-term success.
