PER 571-3 Advanced Periodontology Clinic XI

Credits: 10
The goal of this course is to have the third year resident actively engaged in the clinical practice of periodontics. The clinical practice of periodontics expected will now be at a proficient level. The third year resident is also expected to provide implant, sinus lift, ridge augmentation, other advanced reconstructive surgical procedures at a competent level. Additionally, hospital cases involving pediatric periodontal patients of record at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, as well as selected adult patients needing hospital based periodontal therapy completed at OHSU hospitals and clinics, will also be assigned to periodontal residents for management and therapy. The clinical experience of the periodontal resident as a practicing “periodontist” at Russell Street Clinic is completed during this course. The resident will engage the clinical practice dynamics of working with general dentists, other specialists, dental hygienists, and office staff personnel. The ADA accreditation goal of exodontia at the proficiency level for periodontal residents will also be emphasized. Service to patient populations of the community metropolitan area who otherwise may not receive clinical services of a periodontist will also be achieved.
