Lecture 1: Chemical plaque control: Current evidence-based approaches
An evidence-based approach will be presented from the classic and current literature about the use of various mouthwashes as their adjunctive and preventive role. Currently, there are many OTC products, but most do not have sufficient scientific data/ evidence to support the clinical efficacy of those products. The presentation will emphasize the chemical composition of mouthwashes, the role of active ingredients of mouthwashes, and how to make a learned choice of over-the-counter mouthwashes products. Furthermore, the therapeutic and preventive role of mouthwashes will be highlighted. Home care messages regarding the therapeutic, adjunctive, and preventive role of mouthwashes for dental professionals and patients will be presented.

Lecture 2: Prevention of Peri-Implantitis: Evidence-Based Strategies for Long-Term Success
Peri-implantitis poses a growing threat to the long-term success of dental implants, often leading to bone loss and implant failure if not properly managed. This webinar focuses on the latest evidence-based strategies for the prevention of peri-implant diseases, emphasizing risk assessment, proper surgical and prosthetic planning, and long-term maintenance protocols. Key topics will include the identification of risk factors, patient education, implant surface considerations, the importance of keratinized mucosa, and tailored recall strategies. Through a mix of scientific insights and clinical cases, attendees will gain practical tools to enhance implant longevity and safeguard peri-implant health.
