COURSE SUMMARY: Join us for an in-depth exploration of "Molecular Iodine in Dentistry: Uncovering the Science and Benefits for Enhanced Oral Care," a continuing education webinar designed to help dental professionals understand the unique properties of molecular iodine and its emerging role in dentistry. Molecular iodine, known for antimicrobial properties, offers a powerful solution to oral care challenges like infection prevention, biofilm management, xerostomia, cancer treatment, oral medicine applications and periodontal health. It also has profound anti-inflammatory, immuno-modulating and wound healing properties. Recent technological breakthroughs allow for the isolation, concentration, and stabilization of this unique species of iodine in ways not previously possible. This course identifies the molecular structure, mechanism of action and clinical applications of iodine, presenting its advantages over traditional antimicrobial agents. Whether a rinse, irrigant, or gel tray therapy, participants will gain insights on how to incorporate molecular iodine effectively into treatment protocols, elevating patient care and enhancing outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:  Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand the chemical structure and antimicrobial mechanisms of molecular iodine and its application in dental settings.

2. Recognize the benefits of molecular iodine for managing oral biofilm and preventing infections compared to other antimicrobial agents.

3. Integrate molecular iodine into preventive and therapeutic dental care practices to enhance patient outcomes in periodontal and infection control.

4. Evaluate recent clinical evidence supporting the efficacy and safety of molecular iodine in oral health management.

5. Dispel commonly held fears and misconceptions about the use of iodine in healthcare.
