PER 553-1 Fundamentals of Periodontics & Implants I

Credits: 3
The goal of this course is to provide the resident with an in-depth review of literature related to implant therapy, reconstructive surgical techniques including sinus lift, ridge augmentation, and distraction osteogenesis procedures, as well as other advanced procedures beyond those normally associated with conventional periodontal therapy. It is anticipated that the resident will thus be provided a thorough working knowledge necessary to provide clinical care utilizing these procedures. The first-year resident is expected to read, abstract, and assimilate assigned articles germane to the theory and practice of dental implants. This course provides the background knowledge required to successfully complete the residency and successfully achieve Diplomate status from the American Board of Periodontology.
