Course Description: Join key members of the 2018 World Workshop Organizing Committee Drs. Kornman and Papapanou as they continue to discuss periodontal disease classification. Take advantage of a refresher on why we changed, what the key differences are from the 1999 classification, and why this system has the potential to improve your comprehension of and appreciation for disease progression and improve the health of your patients.
