Periodontology

The primary areas of emphasis for the Department of Periodontology's residents in periodontology are didactic and clinical instruction. Our mission is to prepare residents to practice well in the field of periodontics, to think critically, and to continue to learn throughout their lives. In addition to giving residents the most recent clinical training in all facets of periodontology and surgical implant dentistry, our goals are to give residents an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings and fundamental sciences involved in the maintenance of health and/or the treatment of diseases of the periodontium. to increase their understanding of the linkages between the medical and dental fields and to broaden their professional judgment to incorporate long-term periodontal patient treatment.
