Periodontal Prognosis: To Extract or Not?

Dr Ahmed Saleh BDS(Hons), DClinDent(UWA), MRACDS(perio), FRACDS(perio)

How accurate are we at determining the prognosis of periodontally compromised teeth? Are we too hasty in making decisions to extract? This lecture will test your optimism/pessimism towards periodontally compromised teeth. The management of different clinical scenarios will be presented including advanced periodontal disease, endo-perio lesions and furcation involvement. The management of different cases will be supported by current literature.
