Dental Implant Maintenance for the Dental Hygienist Michelle Hendrickson, RDH, MEd

Dental implant placement has become a part of mainstream dentistry. What used to be considered uncommon in the United States is now customary standard care for supporting dental restorations and edentulous areas. In addition, the number of dental implants and complete arch implant supported restorations being placed is growing at a rapid rate. Despite this growth, scarce information is available about dental implant maintenance protocols and some of the information is conflicting. The purpose of this presentation is to create a dental hygiene protocol that dental hygienists can follow when treating their patients who have dental implants. Important focus will be placed on maintaining complete implant supported fixed arch restorations.

Michelle has practiced as a Registered Dental Hygienist for 28 years. She received her bachelor’s degree in Health Administration from Weber State University in 1994 when she graduated from their Dental Hygiene program. She recently completed her Master of Education in May of this year. Her presentation, Dental Implant Maintenance for the Dental Hygienist, is her master’s thesis project. Michelle is married to Matt Hendrickson, and they have three children and one daughter in law. She currently works for Dr. Mike Crowton 2 days a week and as an adjunct faculty 1 day a week in the Dental Hygiene Clinic at WSU.

Wellness Coaching for Dental Caries V. Kim Kutsch DMD

2:00–4:00 pm Ballroom: B Audience: D, H, A

Caries Risk Management is considered best practice in the prevention and treatment of dental caries disease, although early attempts in clinical practice have been overly complicated. Implementing this concept into daily practice affects all management systems in the office, but more importantly, really requires new skills to help coach the patient along their journey to health. This approach has been called Motivational Interviewing, Patient Centered Dentistry, and/or Wellness Coaching. But regardless of the name, the skills are the same. This lecture will present this philosophy and review verbal coaching skills.

Learning Objectives

• Upon completion, the participant will be able to identify the common known risk factors and treatment strategies for dental caries. • Upon completion, the participant will be able to discuss the strategic decisions necessary to successfully implement caries risk assessment into daily practice. • Upon completion, the participant will have learned new verbal coaching skills to help their patients achieve health.
