Description

In this presentation Dr Larkin will discuss the transformation of a traditionally based hygiene program to a wellness-based model. By embracing the current knowledge of the impact of oral health to overall health, Dr Larkin has created a blueprint of culture, tools and techniques that transforms the focus to a more proactive patient centric model.

The Larkin Protocol, which Dr Larkin describes as an oral microbiome optimization program provides a much needed framework for dental implant maintenance and the ongoing management of oral dysbiosis.

Learning Objectives:

•The connection between systemic disease and oral pathogens and what that means for your patients.

• How to integrate salivary diagnostics into your traditional hygiene workflow

•Review of the newest approaches in dental hygiene including phase contrast microscopy, air polishing and diode laser therapy
