Course Objectives

Homeostasis remains the ultimate goal. The conversation is changing. New disease concepts like dysbiosis, microbial consortiums, inflammophilic bacteria, commensal pathobionts, and keystone pathogens are challenging how periodontal disease and inflammation is viewed today. Microbes are smart, but dental professionals need to be smarter. While traditional approaches to deal with oral pathogens have merit, current research shows there are other chemical and mechanical pathways that disrupt pathogenic biofilm activity leading to long-term, sustainable health outcomes. It is time to learn about non-antibiotic strategies that target periodontal pathogens.

- Distinguish the difference between classic infections and dysbiosis
- Recognize how commensal microbes become pathobionts
- Evaluate the limitations of legacy approaches to disease management
- Describe how arginine bicarbonate creates a healthy, sustainable microbial community
- Define how 1.7% hydrogen peroxide gel in prescription trays supports homeostasis
- Identify the role of fluid dynamics in daily biofilm disruption
