Course Summary: This course will provide current, practical information that will enhance the practicing dentist’s diagnostic capability and familiarity with treatment options for management of the periodontal patient. Evidenced based presentations on current topics in periodontics will be focused for the general practitioners and specialists involved in the prevention and treatment of the acute and chronic periodontal diseases. This course will cover such topics as diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning; osseointegrated dental implants; principles of periodontal surgery; management of osseous defects; soft tissue surgery; chemotherapeutics; aggressive periodontitis; the interrelationship of periodontics with restorative dentistry and endodontics. Two hands-on laboratory exercises encompassing an introduction to dental implants and periodontal surgical tecniques, including the use of membranes for guided tissue regeneration, will also be offered. Case scenarios will be presented in small group discussion format to facilitate problem focused treatment planning and integration of all lecture and laboratory experiences.
