The clinician is also guided in developing a comprehensive treatment protocol that includes instructions on when to use antibiotic prophylaxis and glucocorticosteroid replacement therapy. Overall, this program offers dental practitioners the knowledge and insight they need to provide safe and appropriate dental care for their patients and to build their practices without fear of increasing their medicolegal risk.
