Pure Perio brings Dr. Nabors' oral-systemic periodontal protocol to your entire team in a single day.
- Reframes gum disease as a manageable infection; this is not another scaling and root planing refresher
- Taught by Dr. Nabors and Andrea Owens, RDH, drawing on Dr. Nabors' work co-founding OralDNA Labs
- Grounded in data your patients can see and understand, not just pocket depths
- Built for the whole clinical team, not just the doctor
- Class size stays small to keep the day hands-on and interactive
Taking cosmetic cases, too? Dr. Nabors' No-Prep LIVE course applies the same hands-on, live-patient approach to prepless veneers.

Microscopy and Salivary Diagnostics
Pure Perio doesn't stop at pocket depths. You'll use phase-contrast microscopy chairside to see live bacterial activity in a patient's mouth, the same infection driving the disease you're treating. Dr. Nabors co-founded OralDNA Labs, one of the first labs dedicated to salivary diagnostics in the U.S., so the course ties what you see under the microscope directly to lab-confirmed pathogen data your patients can actually understand.
- View live bacterial activity chairside with phase-contrast microscopy
- Connect those findings to salivary diagnostics from OralDNA Labs, co-founded by Dr. Nabors
- See a documented before-and-after case that shows the protocol's real-world results
Once you can show a patient their own results instead of just describing them, the conversation about treatment gets a lot easier, and so does getting them to say yes.
