OHI-S Perio-restorative protocols team-based approach

7 lessons + 1 free (7h 29min)

A team-based approach on the treatment of perio-restoration cases: time-tested protocols!

On Dr. Daniel Melker’s course you will learn:

– Features of the team approach in the treatment of periodontal cases

– Ways to avoid implant placement

– Treatment planning and diagnostic protocol

– Step-by-step protocols of periodontal surgical treatment

– Nuances of prosthetics on teeth with periodontal pathology

– Conditions for obtaining long-term results.

Dr. Daniel Melker will demonstrate numerous cases on how to obtain stable results after 10, 20 and even 30 years of monitoring!

The OHI‑S Perio‑Restorative Protocols: Team‑Based Approach program is best for prosthodontists, periodontists, restorative dentists, and dental hygienists who want structured, training in interdisciplinary management of complex cases where periodontal health and restorative dentistry must be integrated. It emphasizes evidence‑based collaboration between clinicians and dental technicians to ensure functional stability, aesthetics, and long‑term success.

Who Should Enroll
Prosthodontists rehabilitating patients with compromised periodontal support who require complex restorative solutions.
Periodontists collaborating on cases where periodontal therapy must precede or integrate with restorative treatment.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners managing crowns, bridges, veneers, or implants in patients with periodontal challenges.
Dental hygienists supporting periodontal maintenance and patient education in restorative workflows.
Dental technicians fabricating prostheses that must harmonize with periodontal and restorative principles.
Residents & fellows in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, or periodontics seeking advanced interdisciplinary training.
What You’ll Learn
Perio‑restorative protocols: evidence‑based workflows for integrating periodontal therapy with restorative procedures.
Team‑based approach: collaboration between dentists, specialists, hygienists, and technicians.
Treatment sequencing: when to perform periodontal therapy before, during, or after restorative work.
Functional and aesthetic balance: ensuring restorations respect periodontal health and occlusal stability.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of interdisciplinary perio‑restorative treatments.
