Periodontal Diseases I OLD do not use

This is the introductory course in the periodontal curriculum. It is designed to help students gain an understanding of periodontal health and health maintenance as well as the underlying disease processes that occur if health deteriorates. Key concepts of prevention, examination and diagnosis will be covered. Additionally experimental learning will be incorporated where the students will have simulated learning on a dentaform and then take these skills and treat actual patients as part of a rotation into the periodontics clinic.
