The West of Scotland Branch welcomes Ian Dunn to deliver an evening of perio covering dental-legal pitfalls in perio and the merits of the Stepwise approach for perio treatment.

  • Look at what the BPE actually says
  • Discuss the need for appropriate radiographs and time intervals for retaking radiographs in perio cases
