Presenter: Laura Wright RDH DipDH PTM™
Take your periodontal and implant therapy skills to the next level through an immersive, evidence-based learning experience designed to strengthen clinical confidence, improve patient outcomes, and elevate the standard of care within your practice.
This highly interactive workshop combines current evidence, practical protocols, and hands-on training to help clinicians confidently assess, diagnose, and deliver periodontal and implant maintenance therapy.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
By the end of this immersive periodontal hands-on workshop, participants will be able to:
Recognize the Benefits of a Dedicated Periodontal and Implant Department– Learn how building a focused periodontal and implant program improves patient care, boosts practice revenue, and creates new career opportunities in today’s dental industry.
Apply current, evidence-based clinical protocols– Use the latest guidelines from the Calgary Implantitis Symposium and the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Classification System to guide confident assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning.
Customize Periodontal Maintenance and Dental Implant Care Protocols — Identify the appropriate clinical approach for every patient, from healthy periodontal and implant patients to those requiring more advanced care, by integrating risk factors and assessment findings into predictable, patient-specific treatment and maintenance plans.
Master the alternating instrumentation technique to improve calculus removal, reduce clinician fatigue, and support better ergonomics. Strengthen instrumentation skills while working through four realistic clinical scenarios (healthy, SPT, Implant and StageII/III) featuring simulated ledges of calculus at your own dedicated workstation, timed to reflect real clinical scenarios.
Refine Clinical Decision-Making for Same-Day Practice Implementation — Walk away with practical periodontal and implant treatment protocols you can apply in your practice immediately.

SHARPEN YOUR EDGE HANDS ON WORKSHOP
EDMONTON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2026
AM/PM SESSIONS
Sharpening is about much more than achieving the correct angle. The true value lies in understanding why a sharp, properly maintained instrument improves efficiency, ergonomics, clinician confidence, and ultimately, patient outcomes.
This highly interactive, hands-on workshop takes a practical approach to evaluating your instrumentation skills, sharpening techniques, and instrument selection. You’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to maximize the lifespan of your instruments while ensuring every edge performs at its best.
Eligible for 4 PACE approved credits
One of the most common challenges within a dental practice is determining the appropriate investment in hand instruments and understanding when they should be maintained or replaced.
Together we’ll answer questions such as:
How many hand instruments are actually needed?
How often should instruments be sharpened?
Are you over-sharpening, under-sharpening, or sharpening correctly?
How can proper sharpening improve clinical efficiency and reduce instrument replacement costs?
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Evaluate instrument condition and sharpening technique
Assess your current instrument kits, evaluate blade integrity and sharpening proficiency, identify common sharpening errors, and determine whether your instruments are being properly maintained.
2. Master multiple sharpening techniques
Gain hands-on experience sharpening three groups of instruments using three different methods. Compare stones, cards, and a mechanical fine-tuning system to determine which techniques best suit your clinical practice.
3. Build smarter instrument kits
Design customized instrument kits for four different clinical scenarios while learning how strategic instrument selection improves efficiency, ergonomics, and treatment outcomes.
4. Connect diagnosis with instrumentation
Strengthen your diagnostic skills and understand why accurate assessment should guide instrument selection and sharpening priorities before treatment begins.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Be proactive in developing the clinical skills needed to confidently manage the instrumentation challenges dental hygienists face every day.
