Educational Objectives: • Recognize that it is economically irresponsible to offer surgical services without factoring the financial cost of potential complications to your practice.
• Develop a framework for categorizing surgical complication types.
• Comprehend that strictly from an economic perspective for all stakeholders, the best strategy for the general dentist is to refer patients for surgical procedures to the clinician with the lowest complication rate.
• Recognize that the best long-term value for the surgical patient is to incur a higher initial cost to mitigate significant unknown costs at a later time.
FCE11: Obesity, Diabetes, and Periodontal Disease
10:45 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Periodontal and Systemic Interrelationships
Moderator: Purnima Kumar
Speakers: Mia L. Geisinger, Brian L. Mealey, and Barbara J. Steinberg
Diet is closely linked to two of our most recent epidemics—diabetes and obesity, which are themselves interconnected. While obesity and diabetes are recognized as diseases with oral manifestations, eating disorders have not received as much attention among dental professionals. Eating disorders represent a complex spectrum of chronic illnesses, with medical and psychologic complications that lead to the highest mortality of all psychiatric disorders. It is a problem that is an epidemic on college campuses. Members of the dental team, and especially periodontists, may be the first health care providers to encounter such patients and will be instrumental in making appropriate referrals for further diagnostic work-up and treatment. This session will provide the periodontal team with valuable information on the risk imposed by these diseases and conditions for periodontal diseases.
Educational Objectives:
• Identify how obesity and diabetes affect periodontal health, and how to recognize oral manifestations of these conditions.
• Gain an understanding of the psychologic and medical issues associated with eating disorders.
• Recognize how to address and manage periodontal issues associated with diabetes, obesity, and eating disorders.

Investigations in the science of periodontology inform the next generation of clinical decisions and laboratory exploration. Promising findings in research explorations in turn help inspire innovations for clinical applications. This course will highlight some of the recent award- winning investigations, providing a sneak peak into future directions for discovery and development.
Educational Objectives:
• Explain the relationship between implant surface titanium degradation and its potential role in peri-implantitis.
• Recognize the importance of targeted gene therapy in enhancing periodontal bone and tissue formation and maturation.
• Identify a biologically-validated time point for periodontal therapy during smoking cessation based on the shift over time in functional characteristics of the subgingival microbiome.
• Comprehend the negative impact of secondhand tobacco smoke and non-traditional routes of nicotine exposure (e.g., e-cigarettes) on the periodontal health of non- smoking adults.
