Talks

Aims

This webinar aims to discuss the effects of occlusal trauma and excessive occlusal forces on the periodontium in health and disease, providing an updated perspective on managing complex cases in clinical practice.

Objectives

  • To understand the histological and clinical manifestations of trauma from occlusion on periodontal tissues.

  • To discuss historical theories and current evidence from human biopsies, animal studies, and clinical research, on the potential effects of occlusal trauma on the onset and progression of periodontal diseases.

  • To update clinicians on contemporary concepts and clinical implications concerning the management of periodontitis in the presence of traumatic occlusal forces, particularly in complex interdisciplinary cases.

Outcomes

  • Recognition of the clinical indicators and the histological presentation of periodontal tissues affected by trauma from occlusion or excessive occlusal forces.

  • Consolidation of knowledge regarding the scientific evidence supporting the relationship between trauma from occlusion and its impact on periodontal tissues.

  • Application of acquired knowledge to effectively manage periodontitis in the context of traumatic occlusal forces within complex interdisciplinary cases.
