At our first meeting, Dr. Mark Evans will give an endodontic perspective on the endo/perio interface and will include cases illustrating the diagnostic conundrums we sometimes face. Clinical examples will also be discussed. For our second meeting, we are pleased to have Dr. Jake Ball who will explore the practice, clinician and patient related factors that may result in the supervised neglect of periodontal disease. The lecture will also discuss the importance of a detailed periodic clinical assessment, accurate diagnosis and evidence-based treatment planning for disease prevention.
