BPE Return to Work Refresher
The Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE) was first introduced in 1986 as a quick and simple screening tool for use in general practice. It underwent a mini-makeover back in 2016, to simplify it even further.
I have created this webinar to revise the ins and outs of the BPE clinical application, the codes and action required for each one, as per the British Society of Periodontology and implant dentistry (BSP) recommendations.
This topic is relevant to all clinicians (and students) as the BPE is a mandatory requirement for every patient as we document the periodontal status as part of a comprehensive, holistic examination. The BPE is considered the minimum standard of care and should be documented in every set of notes. If you, or anyone in your team struggles with the BPE, then this is the session for you.
