2018 AAP Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases
Aligning and Incorporating within the Curriculum
Presenter: Marianne Dryer, RDH, M Ed
The updated AAP classification system introduced in 2019 represents a multi-dimensional staging and grading framework for periodontitis and implant disease status. A hallmark feature of the updated system brings opportunities for more case specific patient care. This course will examine the concepts of staging and grading to classify each patient by complexity of case management, likelihood of less predictable response to therapy, and potential for periodontitis development.
Diagnosing, treatment planning, and executing appropriate and necessary periodontal therapies will be reviewed utilizing case presentations and group activities+ (on-site 4 hr workshop). The need for calibration amongst faculty is critical for students to utilize the system accurately. This course will demonstrate examples of curriculum alignment with CODA standards in reference to the new updates.
Course Objectives:
➢ Examine the historical timeline and evolution of the AAP Classification System.
➢ Discuss the new staging/grading system for periodontal disease and how it will benefit patient care and management.
➢ Align the new AAP Classification System to CODA Standards
➢ Recognize areas to calibrate faculty utilizing case studies in line with the new classification system.
➢ Review teaching methodologies to help students apply the AAP Classification system and utilize the communication component into case presentations to patients.
