DENT-D 724: CLINICAL PERIODONTICS II (0.5 - 3 credit)

About

D724 Clinical Periodontics II is the second in a series of four clinical courses in Periodontics. The primary goal of these courses is to give students the opportunity to learn the basic concepts and develop clinical competency in: periodontal examination, periodontal charting and record keeping, diagnosis of periodontal diseases, periodontal treatment planning, dental prophylaxis, periodontal scaling & root planing, periodontal maintenance, management of periodontal emergencies, and appropriate referral of periodontal patients. A secondary goal of these courses is to teach students the fundamentals of periodontal surgery. Students will be required to assist graduate periodontics students during surgical procedures and, when deemed capable, will have the opportunity to perform periodontal surgeries on their own patients.
