The expert panel of the FDI Global Periodontal Health Project (GPHP) will update you on the latest recommendations in monitoring and maintaining periodontal health in the long-term, including maintenance of dental implants and supportive periodontal care as well as the public health impact of periodontal diseases.
Periodontal diseases as one of the major global epidemics and health burdens markedly affect oral health and closely link to systemic health/general wellbeing, with enormous socio-economic impacts and healthcare costs. A huge challenge facing general dentists is how to successfully manage periodontitis patients for predictable treatment outcomes and long-term health maintenance.
