Online Periodontal CE Courses & Webinars

The periodontology online courses on this page are designed for dentists and periodontists who want to build or deepen clinical competence in periodontal diagnosis, surgical protocols, and regenerative treatment — on demand, without fixed schedules. Each course is led by a specialist with an active clinical practice in the area they teach.

This page covers online courses and lessons only. For live seminars, congresses, and hands-on periodontology events, visit the Periodontology Seminars and Conferences page.

Periodontal Continuing Education That Fits Clinical Practice

Periodontal treatment decisions are often protocol-specific and anatomy-dependent. Structured periodontal CE courses built around real clinical scenarios help dentists address knowledge gaps systematically — not case by case. The courses on OHI-S focus on decisions that come up in practice: when to graft, how to sequence surgical and non-surgical phases, which regenerative approach fits the defect geometry, and how to manage tissue response around implants over time.

What Online Learning Changes Clinically

Online format changes how learning connects to chairside application. You can return to a recession treatment protocol before a surgically demanding case, work through flap design logic when reconsidering a specific patient's sequencing, or study regenerative decision frameworks multiple times until the reasoning is durable, not just familiar.

Screen-based learning also suits digital planning workflows well. Reviewing treatment planning logic and protocol rationale in the same environment where you assess patient records shortens the distance between instruction and application.

What Topics These Courses Cover

The course library spans non-surgical management, surgical periodontology, regenerative procedures, soft tissue plastic surgery, and laser applications. Courses address periodontitis treatment across disease stages, open and closed curettage, flap surgery and open flap debridement, guided tissue regeneration and infrabony defect management, recession treatment including coronally advanced flap and tunnel techniques, connective tissue grafting, PRF application, hyaluronic acid in periodontal surgery, furcation lesions, peri-implantitis diagnosis and treatment, mucogingival surgery, and laser-assisted periodontal protocols.

Content is organized across three levels. Fundamental courses cover periodontal diagnosis, disease staging, and non-surgical treatment logic for general dentists entering the discipline. Intermediate courses address surgical entry points: flap design, basic regeneration, and recession management. Advanced courses cover high-complexity workflows including multi-tooth recession treatment, advanced regenerative protocols, soft tissue augmentation around implants, and the prosthetic-periodontal interface — for clinicians managing demanding cases regularly.

Learn Between Cases, Not Instead of Them

All courses are available on demand with no enrollment windows or fixed session times. Content is accessible across devices — reviewing a flap design protocol during a break or revisiting a regeneration decision framework after clinic hours fits the same structured learning format as a formal session. The flexibility is designed around a clinical schedule, not around it.

Learn from Expert Periodontology Faculty

Anton Sculean presents advanced periodontal treatment including regenerative surgery, hyaluronic acid application, and laser-assisted protocols. Daniel Melker leads a detailed surgical periodontology curriculum covering flap design, soft tissue grafting, crown lengthening, and the perio-restorative interface. Mariano Sanz contributes evidence-based content on periodontitis treatment and peri-implant disease. Giulio Rasperini covers recession treatment and regenerative plastic procedures. Giovanni Zucchelli and Pierpaolo Cortellini bring clinical authority to soft tissue surgery and infrabony defect management. Ricardo Kern and Hua-Hong Chien extend the curriculum into plastic periodontal and implant-related soft tissue procedures.

CE Credits and What These Courses Are

Eligible courses and lessons display CE credit information on their individual pages. OHI-S is an ADA CERP Recognized Provider; CE credits are indicated on relevant course and event pages and meet standard documentation requirements for most continuing education obligations.

These are clinical education courses — not certification programs, not licensing pathways, and not manufacturer-led product training. The goal is applied periodontal knowledge that supports clearer treatment reasoning and more consistent clinical outcomes.
