Biofilm is the common thread between periodontal disease and dental caries. Biofilm forms immediately after dental prophylaxis and has been shown to cause or contribute to a plethora of oral-systemic issues. Proper home care will help to manage the biofilm and help our patients to maintain a healthy oral environment.

Following this CE webinar, the participant will be able to:
• Discuss the formation of biofilm and its etiology in inflammation
• Compare the benefits of power and hand brushing
• Evaluate the variety of interdental oral aids
• Create options of home care for individual outcomes
• Value a program of oral hygiene instruction per patient
