Course #1: Povidone Iodine: A Time-Tested Antiseptic with Renewed Focus in Dentistry (1 CE)

Speakers: Abigail Gaines SDH; Fartun Ibrahim SDH; Laura Garcia Tiburcio SDH; and Shannon Walsh from Elevate 

This course delves into the clinical applications of povidone iodine in contemporary dental practice. We will explore the affordable, effective, and easy-to-use benefits of this World Health Organization-essential medicine. Learn how to leverage its antimicrobial properties to combat caries, periodontal diseases, and enhance patient outcomes. 

Speakers: Alexis Magers SDH & Craig Agni SDH 

Introduced to dentistry in the 1950s by a German dentist, ozone therapy has intrigued practitioners with its potential to selectively eliminate microbial cells while leaving human tissues largely unaffected. This course will delve into the current state of ozone therapy in dentistry, examining its applications in oral surgery, caries management, endodontics, and periodontal therapy. We will critically analyze the existing research, explore the arguments for and against its use, and discuss the future of ozone therapy in modern dental practice.
