Treatment of severe periodontitis is seldom straightforward. It requires teamwork, motivation, and clinical skills but most importantly it requires a patient-tailored approach. In this patient case-based webinar, we will focus on several treatment modalities, from behavioural change to complex surgical intervention. The interplay between dentists and dental hygienists will be highlighted in detail and the remedies for saving teeth will be thoroughly discussed.
