About this course
Staging and grading gave the profession a shared language for periodontitis, but many offices still apply it unevenly. This Hygiene Excellence course explains how stage reflects severity and complexity, how grade reflects risk and the pace of progression, and how each one shapes the treatment plan and prognosis. Case reviews let you practice the calls that sit between categories, so your charting supports the plan and you can describe the result to a patient in plain terms.
What you'll learn
- Assign a stage based on severity and complexity
- Assign a grade based on risk factors and rate of progression
- Connect stage and grade to prognosis and an individualized treatment plan
- Work through real cases where the classification takes judgment
