Advanced Education in Periodontology
The Advanced Education Program in Periodontology is designed to provide dentists with the knowledge and skills to meet the Commission on Dental Accreditation standards for certification in this specialty. Its curriculum is based on the biomedical and clinical sciences required to achieve the goals and objectives of the program. Moreover, the department believes that board certification is a critical step in professional growth and emphasizes a mindset towards achievement of this goal.
Curriculum
Presently the three-year curriculum provides training in clinical periodontology, implant therapy, sedation, oral medicine, clinical research and teaching skills. The department requires three oral presentations at the close of the program. These include a comprehensive periodontal clinical case, a clinical case report of implant therapy, and clinical research project.
