10th July 2026 | ISDH Congress symposium

Personalised Management of Gingivitis: PMPR, Oral Hygiene and Behaviour Change

Dental biofilm–induced gingivitis is common, preventable and a key warning sign for future periodontal disease.

This expert lecture explores how to move beyond a “one-size-fits-all” approach with personalised, evidence-based gingivitis management.

During this complementary lecture at the ISDH Congress, you will learn how clinical assessment, targeted PMPR, tailored self-care recommendations and behaviour change techniques can help improve patient motivation, long-term adherence and oral health outcomes.

Key learning objectives

  • Recognise gingivitis early and assess patient needs.
  • Adapt PMPR approaches for gingivitis management.
  • Recommend tailored toothbrushes, interdental devices and plaque control aids.
  • Use behaviour change techniques to improve motivation, adherence and long-term self-care.

Practical information

  • Date: 10th July 2026
  • Time: from 16:45 till 17:45 CEST
  • Venue: Allianz MiCo Congress Centre - GATE 3 Building “South Wing” Level 2-3
