Summary

This presentation offers a practical overview of the role of the dental hygienist in the initial management of periodontal diseases. It begins with a structured approach to periodontal examination, highlighting the key clinical and radiographic parameters essential for understanding the periodontal condition and supporting the diagnostic process.

The current classification of periodontal diseases is then presented, with particular emphasis on the staging and grading of periodontitis and their relevance to the dental hygienist’s daily clinical practice.

Finally, Step 1 periodontal therapy is reviewed, focusing on patient education and motivation, biofilm control, management of risk factors, and non-surgical instrumentation. The integration of these elements aims to provide dental hygienists with a clear and structured framework that enables them to contribute effectively and in a coordinated manner to initial periodontal care as part of the dental team.
