Periodontal disease: The Hidden Truth behind the "routine" case
Periodontal disease is the most common disease seen in small animal practice, as much of its true pathology remains hidden beneath the gumline. What appears to be a “routine dental” often masks this progressive, irreversible disease that cannot be recognised without tooth by tooth assessment, conscious and unconscious examination, full mouth intraoral dental radiographs, and professional plaque removal both supra and subgingivally. This session uncovers the hidden truth behind periodontal disease: why “just cleaning teeth” alone is insufficient, why extractions can be both necessary and risky, how systemic inflammation elevates this condition far beyond cosmetic problems, and why homecare so often fails. This lecture outlines practical, clinically grounded improvements that strengthen periodontal assessment and treatment in everyday general practice.
Day 2 @ 12:30
'Staged Dental'...what? Are We Using It The Way It Was Intended?
Staged dental” has become a familiar phrase used in general practice, yet the intention behind it is often vague. This ambiguity affects the care we provide and the confidence of the clinicians delivering the treatment. This session clarifies what staged treatment plans are truly intended to achieve by exploring medical indications, patient-centred reasoning, and practical decision-making. The presentation will gently unpack common assumptions, identify where misunderstandings arise, and outline a clearer framework for planning multi-anaesthetic treatments with confidence. The aim is to strengthen clinically grounded, ethically sound decision-making and to distinguish staged treatment from a staged procedure.
