(6110) Bringing Integrative Medicine to Dental Practice First Thing Monday Morning

This course explores how select diagnostic tools can enhance overall patient care and clinical outcomes in today's dental practice. You will learn how to immediately incorporate high-resolution pulse oximetry (HRPO) to screen for dysfunctional breathing patterns and potential sleep-disordered breathing, an often-overlooked factor in oral and systemic health. The course also covers the use of salivary testing to guide targeted, non-surgical periodontal therapy, providing a personalized approach to inflammation management. You will also examine the application of glucose monitoring as a tool for evaluating patient progress and identifying links between metabolic and oral health—focusing on immediate, practical integration.
