iTOP: Individually Trained Oral Prophylaxis is an innovative, systematic approach to revolutionizing oral self-care through optimal biofilm management and individualized patient education. More than a theoretical framework, iTOP is a practical, hands-on methodology designed to support behavior change and the development of lifelong healthy habits. Today, iTOP serves as a global pillar of preventive oral healthcare, implemented in dental practices worldwide.

In this webinar, participants will reignite their passion for prevention while gaining actionable, evidence-based tools and techniques to elevate patient self-care and improve both oral and overall health outcomes. Attendees will leave with enhanced patient education strategies, greater clinical confidence, and practical insights they can immediately apply to make a lasting impact on patient well-being.
 

In this webinar you will:

  • Describe evidence-based solutions for biofilm-related oral diseases, including individually tailored mechanical biofilm control strategies.
  • Implement patient-centered oral hygiene techniques that prioritize comfort, motivation, and effectiveness to enhance quality of care and strengthen patient–provider relationships.
  • Apply effective educational strategies that empower patients, improve clinical outcomes, and increase patient–provider satisfaction.
