Periodontal disease impacts half of the American adult population, a statistic that has remained consistent for many years. Providers have access to myriad adjunct procedures to compliment periodontal treatment in the dental office; however, homecare options have largely remained unchanged. The use of locally delivered hydrogen peroxide has been shown to be an effective option for managing periodontal disease daily at home.

Course Objectives:

• Understand the role of bacteria in the development of gum disease
• Learn about the various systemic diseases that have been linked to periodontal pathogens
• Evaluate the effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide in combating oral bacteria
• Explore the ideal concentration of hydrogen peroxide and the most effective delivery mechanism for home use
• Understand the benefits and side effects of hydrogen peroxide use in dentistry
