| This
is an overview of periodontics in a combination textbook-literature-lecture-seminar
format. Subject areas covered include periodontal anatomy and histology,
etiology, and histopathology of periodontal diseases. Clinically
related seminars include examination, diagnosis, prognosis, and
treatment planning for the patient with periodontal disease. A variety
of approaches to treatment, as well as the importance of supportive
therapy for the treated patient, are emphasized. The interrelationship
between basic sciences and the pathobiology of periodontal diseases
is emphasized. Appropriate reading material from standard textbooks
and the periodontal literature is assigned for each seminar period. |
