For Dentists and Dental Teams
Diagnose Earlier.
Treat With Pupose.
The Larkin Protocol ™ is a practical system for early diagnosis and treatment of periodontal disease.
Bring biological assessment, visual patient education, personalized therapy, and response-guided recare into one repeatable clinical workflow.
TEST * TEACH * TREAT * REPEAT
One Clinical Operating System
Four Steps. One continuous cycle of care.
The protocol connects what you measure, what patients understand, how you treat, and when you reassess. Each step informs the next.
01/TEST
See the biology
Combine periodontal evaluation
with phase contrast microscopy
and appropriate salivary diagnostics to assess risk and establish a baseline.
02/TEACH
Make it visible
Show patients live biofilm findings. Explain what the images and test results mean in language they can understand.
03/TREAT
Personalize the plan
Use biofilm removal and
clinically indicated adjunctive
therapies according to the findings,
the patient, and your professional
judgement.
04/REPEAT
Measue the response
Reassess the biological picture
and clinical respomnse. Set a personalized recare interval and
adjust the plan over time.
The Training
Learn the system. Bring it into daily practice.
The Larkin Protocol training gives dentists, hygienists, and team members a common sequence for diagnosing, explaining, treating, and monitoring periodontal disease.
Live virtual instruction with Dr Larkin
On-demand clinical lessons and implementation resources
Ongoing support community
Microscopy and salivary diagnostics that are point-of-care
Patient communication, treatment sequencing, and treatment planning
What Changes in The Operatory
Patients can see what you do.
Live microscopy creates a shared starting point for a conversation about biofilm, risk, home care, and treatment. The team has a very clear way to document findings and revisit them at recare.
Equipment and adjunctive treatments serve the clinical process. Your practice can implement the sequence in a way that fits the team and scope of care.
Meet Your Guide
Built by a dentist who has done the hard work.
Dr Thomas Larkin founded Proactive Oral Wellness and developed The Larkin Protocol to help dental teams put advanced prevention into clinical practice. He has trained hundreds of dentists and team members in the fine art of bringing together diagnostics, patient education, treatment systems, and practice implementation.
Dr Larkin is dental faculty with The BaleDoneen Method and has presented internationally for the International Academy of Ceramic Implantology. His focus is practical: Give the team the tools and confidence to make earlier periodontal assessment part of routine care.
The Patient Conversation
" Let me show you what we have found, what it means, and what we can do about it
When patients understand the findings for the first time, they can now take a more active role in their oral health. The clinical team shares a consistent language from the first visit through ongoing maintenance.
Where It Fits
A foundation for the wellness centered practice
The program supports practices that want to strengthen periodontal care and communicate relevant oral findings with medical colleagues when appropriate.
DENTAL TEAMS
A shared workflow helps the dentist, hygienist, assistant, and front office connect clinical findings with patient conversations.
ESTABLISHD PRACTICES
Bring existing technologies and treatment tools into a sequence that starts with assessment and returns the measurable response.
MEDICAL COLLABORATION
Clear documentation of periodontal findings can support a useful conversation with a patient's other healthcare providers.
