Validating occlusal therapy with patientsSpear has released a new course on periodontics.

In “Validating Occlusal Therapy with Patients Susceptible to Periodontitis,” Dr. Mike McDevitt helps restorative practices do their best to improve the effectiveness of therapy for their periodontal patients. This course focuses on the occlusal therapy that can be rendered in the restorative practice when it is clearly identified and accepted by the patient as part of the effort for them to become healthier.

After viewing this lesson, viewers will be able to:

  • Learn to connect observation and patients’ experiences, and offer understanding to the affected patients
  • Understand how to assess the patient’s occlusion and its implication to changes in bone support
  • Learn techniques for stabilizing the occlusion and protecting the periodontium
