Periodontal care in the S3 era – defensible treatment planning

What to expect

This webinar, delivered Sarovi Davda, will explore the use of the S3 staged treatment planning approach to support structured, evidence-based periodontal care in everyday practice. Sarovi will focus on translating clinical findings into clear treatment plans, with emphasis on communication, documentation and clinical decision-making. The webinar will also considers how periodontal treatment planning is assessed within a medico-legal framework and how clinicians can ensure their approach is consistent and defensible.

A CPD certificate (in the name of the purchaser) will be available to download once viewing of this online lecture has been completed.
