Summer 2026 Issue (Vol. 96) Includes:

Targeted Supplementation and Nutrition for Periodontal and Systemic Health

Lorraine Gambacourt, RDH

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease driven not only by bacteria, but by an exaggerated inflammatory host response that can lead to connective tissue destruction, bone loss, and increased systemic inflammatory burden throughout the body. Nutrition plays an important role in the maintenance of periodontal health, however many individuals do not consistently consume optimal levels of key nutrients required to support healing, immune function, inflammation regulation, and periodontal stability. Deficiencies can exacerbate periodontal tissue damage.

This course will review a variety of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that play important roles in immune function, inflammation regulation, antioxidant defense, and tissue repair.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explain how inflammation and the host response affect periodontal and systemic health.

2. Identify supplements that may support periodontal healing, bone health, and inflammation control.

3. Evaluate current evidence supporting supplementation in periodontal therapy.

4. Differentiate supplementation approaches for periodontitis, maintenance, and peri-implant care.

5. Apply supplementation and nutritional discussions in client education and clinical practice.

Beyond the Scaler: Advancing Periodontal Therapy with Adjunctive Innovation

Chrissy Ford, RDH, BScDH

Modern periodontal care extends far beyond scaling and root planning! The tools and strategies available to dental hygienists have never been more powerful. This dynamic session explores adjunctive therapies that enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and elevate clinical outcomes beyond traditional instrumentation.

Through clinical examples and treatment planning frameworks, dental hygienists will learn how to confidently select and communicate these therapies for maximum impact-improving both patient health and practice success.

Learning Objectives

1. Identify clinical indicators for incorporating adjunctive therapies into periodontal treatment plans.

2. Understand the science and practical application of air polishing, desiccation therapy, hydrogen peroxide treatment, and oral inflammation testing.

3. Integrate adjunctive therapies confidently into clinical protocols to enhance healing and reduce inflammation.

4. Communicate the value of adjunctive periodontal care to improve patient understanding and case acceptance.
