PER 723 Principles of Periodontology IV

Credits: 1
In this course, students will build on their foundational knowledge in diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases and apply this to patient care. An appreciation of advanced periodontal/peri-implant topics (e.g. laser therapy, guided bone regeneration, implant surgery) will prepare students to develop a more comprehensive oral examination for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan for their patients. In addition, students will gain an understanding of inter-disciplinary care (e.g. Orthodontics, Endodontics, Restorative Dentistry) and periodontal medicine (e.g. cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, respiratory diseases) that will better prepare them for inter-professional patient care. Clinical applications will be emphasized throughout the course, utilizing case presentations/participation, problem-based learning, and lectures.
