Digital Insights: Revolutionising Periodontal Communication

Objectives: 
        1. Articulate how visualisation tools within the Align Oral Health Suite can be used to effectively communicate the links between occlusion, misalignment, and periodontal health to patients. 

        2. Describe a patient education workflow for using digital scans to plan and support periodontal treatment, including the use of tools like the Occlusogram and TimeLapse to highlight a patient's specific risks and progress. 

        3. Explain how a dental professional's role, empowered by the Align Oral Health Suite, enhances patient motivation and compliance in maintaining long-term periodontal stability. 

Aims:  • Plan personalised treatment strategies, visually highlighting the relationship between malocclusion, occlusal forces, and periodontal disease. • Educate by showing real-time impact of misalignment and physiological wear on gum tissues and bone support. • Support long-term periodontal stability; tracking changes over time, empowering patients to become active participants in their oral health journey.
