Section Notes

The recent implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan is meant to provide financial support for specific individuals and populations who require oral healthcare. However, literature indicates there are many non-financial barriers to oral healthcare, especially for vulnerable populations, that contribute to poor oral health and oral health disparities. This course will explore how various structural and social determinants of health, such as language, gender, and culture, impact access to oral healthcare. Participants will gain knowledge that will allow them to recognize and develop strategies to overcome barriers to care, thereby increasing oral healthcare access and decreasing oral health disparities.

At the end of this course, participants will:
  • Recognize structural and social determinants of health.
  • Understand how structural and social determinants of health impact access to oral healthcare.
  • Develop strategies to minimize non-financial barriers to oral healthcare.
  • Increase their ability to provide culturally sensitive care to vulnerable populations.

Section Notes

A classification system for periodontal and peri-implant diseases and conditions is essential for dental clinicians to accurately diagnose and treat their patients. It is vital for dental professionals to thoroughly understand how to apply this new system to ensure precise diagnoses, which will directly inform effective treatment plans. Dr. Zeeshan Sheikh will break down and simplify the complexities of this classification system, helping course participants implement and apply the new protocol in their clinical practice to elevate their approach to periodontal care.

At the end of this course, participants will:
  • Gain a solid understanding of the 2017 World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions.
  • Develop a structured approach to applying this new classification system in the care of everyday patients.
  • Learn the methodology for evaluating new patients and diagnosing them based on the changes introduced in the updated classification system.
  • Practice applying the classification system to selected test cases during the course to identify any potential shortcomings and clarify any uncertainties.
