Each and every team member must 
know what their doctor’s philosophical 
approach to their practice is and this is 
essential in how All therapies fit into 
each patients paradigm 
• Every appointment is 
customized for each patient 
• Success is based on 
“Caring” 
• Success is based on 
“Organized” 
• Success is based on the 
“Team”

•Every Day has to be planned we review 
•Where patients are in various phases of hygiene care 
•Where patients are in their restorative treatment plans, work 
that still needs to be completed 
•Which patients on the doctors schedule are due for hygiene! 
•Who is do lab deliveries 
•Updates of the DAY and pass offs 
•Who requires a two-hour reminder for their appt or pre-medication 
via Smile Reminders 
•Room for emergencies 
•Who is do for charting, Velscope, periodontal and periodic 
exams, radiographs, and more 
Green is hygiene, Yellow is for doctors and assistants, Blue is front team 
If pure direct operative, no double books and my production is still 
geared per hour…so yes I bill per hour with direct restorative 
When I get up to do hygiene checks….all the hygienists have to be 
ready and this can only be done if they do their exams first 
(including review of medical and history changes)…a busy day 
… 
IT HAS TO FLOW! 
Growth Beyond a Value based practice…includes changing with 
the times, more non insured procedures, such as Invisalign, Six 
Month Smiles, Sleep Apnea and Botox. Equally, building a 
specialist role as part of your growth strategy was an option we 
adapted

The opportunity to remove the biofilm

approach 
The deeper the presenting pockets 
the greater the opportunity for 
failure to remove such biofilms 
Unless your office is doing open flap 
procedures, multiple sequential 
appointments become the standard 
of care in debridement therapy
9/24/2014

You will be debriding the most significant pockets (>6mm) after 
the initial debridement. This can include multiple quadrants in 
one appointment. 
The concept is to have subsequent opportunities to additionally 
fully debride these pockets in sequential visits. We use lasers at 
every appointment in one of two modes…Decontamination or 
De-epithelialization…depends if the laser is activated and 
where we are in therapy 
Every hygienist in my practice has their own laser and is laser 
certified…every patient gets the same quality of care 
In Full Mouth Cases, the approach is to an initial 
debridement with laser decontamination 
Then 2 visits of ½ full mouth scalings/planing's 
and then if necessary begin systemic antibiotics 
followed by further sequential therapy, re-entering 
deeper pockets to complete 
debridement in 1-3 additional visits if required 
Simple cases may only require 1-3 visits post the initial 
debridement due to only specific areas requiring treatment 
The more complex cases often need 3-6 visits because the 
disease process is more extensive and omnipresent 
WE treatment plan more and if less….great! 
This is variable based on their periodontal history, number of 
pockets, severity and more! 
Customized sensitivity treatments that may be prescribed 
include MI PASTE, ReMin Pro or other custom treatments for 
sensitivity prior to beginning treatment

What are the advantages of using a FL varnish over 
other topical fluorides? 
9 Fluoride varnish works by increasing the 
concentration of fluoride in the outer surface of 
teeth, thereby enhancing fluoride uptake during 
early stages of demineralization. 
9 The varnish hardens on the tooth as soon as it 
contacts saliva, allowing the high concentration 
of fluoride to be in contact with tooth enamel for 
an extended period of time (about 1 to 7 days). 
This is a much longer exposure compared to 
PPM Type 
900 MI Paste Plus 
other high-dose topical fluorides such as gels or 
foams, which is typically 10 to 15 minutes. 
9 The amount of fluoride deposited in the tooth 
surface is considerably greater in demineralized 
versus sound tooth surfaces.* 
9 The benefits of fluoride varnish are greatest for 
individuals at moderate-risk or high-risk for 
demineralization or tooth decay.** Can we say

MI Varnish is a natural Casein and the phosphopeptides 
(CPP) binds to the oral surfaces, Amorphous Calcium 
Phosphate (ACP), which is found in the RECALDENT™, is 
also a source of calcium and phosphate. 
• Embrace Varnish is a resin-based varnish containing 
17.6% Xylitol, sodium fluorideֽ calcium, phosphate, 
and less than 20% ethanol. 
• It too releases fluoride, calcium and phosphate ions 
over a four hour period 
EMBRACE™ Varnish CXP 
The nano-coated calcium and phosphate salts are 
encapsulated with Xylitol and do not react prior to 
exposure to saliva. As a result, the calcium, phosphate 
and fluoride are bioavailable and provide all the 
benefits of fluoride varnish.

2. Remove the brush and peel off the foil seal, exposing the varnish. 
3. Use the brush to apply a thin film of varnish on all surfaces of the 
teeth. It is not necessary to use all the varnish. Discard any unused 
material. 
4. Patients should refrain from eating hard foods or drinking hot 
liquids or alcohol for 3-4 hours after treatment. Eating soft foods for 
the rest of the day is advantageous. Not brushing teeth until the 
morning after treatment may also be beneficial.

What Causes Bad Breath? 
Reduction of Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs) that 
cause bad breath. 
Bacteria from bad breath to periodontal disease 
to tooth decay, are the primary causes of most 
oral health diseases and problems 
Viruses: thought to have a role in periodontal 
disease, can cause Oral Cancer (HPV), oral 
herpes, and oral warts. 
Fungi: cause of Candida Infections; very common 
in denture patients and can be a factor in 
Periodontal disease. 
Activated Chlorine Dioxide is unique because it has been used to kill a wide 
range of Bacteria, Fungi, Bacteria Toxins (VSCs), viruses and breaks down 
unhealthy bio-film.

When left on the tongue or in the periodontal 
pocket, the anaerobic bacteria can yield the 
"rotten egg" smell of volatile sulfur compounds 
(VSCs) such as hydrogen sulfide, methyl 
mercaptan, allyl methyl sulfide, and dimethyl 
sulfide. 
VSC toxins may also contribute to periodontal 
disease.

Oral B electric brush (the head size distinguishes it here) 
Flossed twice daily 
We added a Hydrofloss and loved it! Used every night 
Sent an e-mail to me detailing his daily protocol 
Continued to smoke 
Pictures then taken with follow up…his hygiene was 
awesome! 
Occlusal adjustment on 4/5/7/8 and opposing teeth 
to remove fremitus 
He instantly felt the difference 
2nd appointment and beyond…continued adjustments

    9/24/2014 1 Eachand every team member must know what their doctor’s philosophical approach to their practice is and this is essential in how All therapies fit into each patients paradigm • Every appointment is customized for each patient • Success is based on “Caring” • Success is based on “Organized” • Success is based on the “Team”
  • 2.

Minimally Invasive Procedures…what are the protocols? How does occlusion fit into your philosophy? What role do the hygienists play? How do various periodontal phases fit into treatment planning? Comprehensive Periodontal Approaches Oral Cancer screening…what are the 1/2/3 steps each much follow Restorative concepts: composites versus crowns, implants versus bridges, orthodontics versus aggressive crown on bridge on natural dentitions How does esthetics fit into your approach? Sleep Apnea Botox, Anterior Orthodontics with 6 month smiles and Invisalign •Every Day has to be planned we review •Where patients are in various phases of hygiene care •Where patients are in their restorative treatment plans, work that still needs to be completed •Which patients on the doctors schedule are due for hygiene! •Who is do lab deliveries •Updates of the DAY and pass offs •Who requires a two-hour reminder for their appt or pre-medication via Smile Reminders •Room for emergencies •Who is do for charting, Velscope, periodontal and periodic exams, radiographs, and more Green is hygiene, Yellow is for doctors and assistants, Blue is front team If pure direct operative, no double books and my production is still geared per hour…so yes I bill per hour with direct restorative When I get up to do hygiene checks….all the hygienists have to be ready and this can only be done if they do their exams first (including review of medical and history changes)…a busy day … IT HAS TO FLOW! Growth Beyond a Value based practice…includes changing with the times, more non insured procedures, such as Invisalign, Six Month Smiles, Sleep Apnea and Botox.

  • 12.
    9/24/2014 12 Youwill be debriding the most significant pockets (>6mm) after the initial debridement. This can include multiple quadrants in one appointment. The concept is to have subsequent opportunities to additionally fully debride these pockets in sequential visits. We use lasers at every appointment in one of two modes…Decontamination or De-epithelialization…depends if the laser is activated and where we are in therapy Every hygienist in my practice has their own laser and is laser certified…every patient gets the same quality of care In Full Mouth Cases, the approach is to an initial debridement with laser decontamination Then 2 visits of ½ full mouth scalings/planing's and then if necessary begin systemic antibiotics followed by further sequential therapy, re-entering deeper pockets to complete debridement in 1-3 additional visits if required Simple cases may only require 1-3 visits post the initial debridement due to only specific areas requiring treatment The more complex cases often need 3-6 visits because the disease process is more extensive and omnipresent WE treatment plan more and if less….great! This is variable based on their periodontal history, number of pockets, severity and more! Customized sensitivity treatments that may be prescribed include MI PASTE, ReMin Pro or other custom treatments for sensitivity prior to beginning treatment

    9/24/2014 28 Saveswaste Saves money Controlled dose delivery After whitening in tray What are the advantages of using a FL varnish over other topical fluorides? 9 Fluoride varnish works by increasing the concentration of fluoride in the outer surface of teeth, thereby enhancing fluoride uptake during early stages of demineralization. 9 The varnish hardens on the tooth as soon as it contacts saliva, allowing the high concentration of fluoride to be in contact with tooth enamel for an extended period of time (about 1 to 7 days). This is a much longer exposure compared to PPM Type 900 MI Paste Plus other high-dose topical fluorides such as gels or foams, which is typically 10 to 15 minutes. 9 The amount of fluoride deposited in the tooth surface is considerably greater in demineralized versus sound tooth surfaces.* 9 The benefits of fluoride varnish are greatest for individuals at moderate-risk or high-risk for demineralization or tooth decay.** Can we say Geriatrics! 900 -1,500 OTC Toothpaste 5,000 Prescription Toothpaste 12,300 Fluoride Gel 22,600 Fluoride Varnish Source: Fluoride Varnish: an Evidence-Based Approach Research Brief Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors Fluorides Committee September 2007 * (Skold-Larsson, Modeer, Twetman, 2000; ten Cate, Featherstone, 1991) - ** (Marinho et al, 2004; Marinho et al, 2004a; ADA 2006) MI Varnish GCAmerica Embrace Varnish CxP PulpDent
