Elevating the Curriculum with Desiccation Therapy: Why and How to Teach it. This webinar provides a clinically focused overview of desiccation therapy in periodontal care. The session covers the mechanism of desiccation agents for disrupting biofilm and aiding nonsurgical periodontal procedures, reviews supporting clinical evidence, and discusses comparative outcomes with other adjuncts. Participants will examine when and why to incorporate desiccation therapy in dental hygiene education, and learn practical approaches for curriculum integration to enhance student preparation for modern clinical practice.
