How To Save Teeth With Periodontal Disease

Prof. Giulio Rasperini and osteocom are pleased to introduce How To Save Teeth With Periodontal Disease, the online course dedicated to success strategies in Periodontal therapy that puts at its core conservation VS restoration rationale, addressing whether (and how) a tooth can be saved or must be extracted.
The concept of success in Periodontology was recently expressed by Pini Prato and co-workers in an editorial on Journal of Clinical Periodontology as: “(a) treatment and re-evaluation of severely diseased teeth before considering extraction, (b) a tooth loss rate as low as possible as the main point, (c) long-term documentation of periodontal stability and (d) patient satisfaction with improvement of their quality of life.”
This video course will help participants to get a deeper understanding of periodontal wound healing biology, healing time and tissue maturation phases, which play a crucial role in Periodontal therapy.
It is commonplace to consider Periodontology as a surgical discipline. Yet, such definition is reductive, as Periodontology is actually a Medical discipline: the Periodontist must understand the periodontal disease, control the acute phase, intercept the risk factors and follow the patients adequately during the healing period.
The first phase requires critical thinking and special care, as it comprises strategies to control the inflammation process while minimizing soft tissue shrinkage.
The second phase of the therapy may involve surgery, in order to correct the defects, scars and tissue loss.
The recent development of innovative treatment concepts, new biomaterials and surgical techniques has brought an answer to the increasing demand for therapy options, where promoting new formation of periodontal bone and tissue around compromised teeth is no longer a risk, but is supported by favourable and predictable long-term outcome prospective.
“How To Save Teeth With Periodontal Disease“ shares therapy protocols, detailed treatment plans, and several supportive clinical cases with 10+ years of follow up, to provide the learner with the latest concepts concerning periodontal treatment.
Thanks to this course, participants will get a deeper understanding of:

The adequate healing time of the periodontium after non-surgical therapy
Phenotype-specific decision-making strategies
When and how exploit the synergy between antibiotic therapy and non-surgical therapy
Proper and effective non-surgical therapy protocols
Data and features that make surgery a mandatory option
Tooth conservation VS restoration, when a tooth may be saved or when it should to be extracted
Tooth mobility management
Bone loss – clinical approaches
Fracture – clinical approaches
Root resorption – clinical approaches
Furcation involvement – clinical approaches
Ortho-Perio multidisciplinary approaches

The Osteocom How To Save Teeth With Periodontal Disease program is best for dentists, periodontists, implantologists, and restorative specialists who want practical, evidence‑based training in managing periodontal disease with a focus on tooth preservation rather than extraction. It emphasizes modern regenerative techniques, minimally invasive approaches, and long‑term maintenance strategies to extend the life of natural dentition.
Who Should Attend

General dentists managing patients with periodontal disease in daily practice.
Periodontists specializing in advanced regenerative and surgical therapies.
Implantologists & oral surgeons who want to balance implant placement with tooth preservation.
Restorative dentists & prosthodontists integrating periodontal stability into esthetic and functional cases.
Dental residents & postgraduate students focusing on periodontology or restorative dentistry.

What You’ll Learn

Diagnosis & risk assessment: identifying periodontal disease progression and patient risk factors.
Non‑surgical therapy: scaling, root planing, and adjunctive treatments.
Regenerative techniques: guided tissue regeneration, bone grafts, and biologics.
Surgical approaches: flap design, papilla preservation, and minimally invasive periodontal surgery.
Decision‑making: when to preserve teeth vs. when extraction and implants are indicated.
Maintenance protocols: long‑term strategies for periodontal stability and patient compliance.
