This continuous (annual) course is the final preparation for the soon-to-be general practitioner students to manage periodontal problems, and to relate periodontics with other dental disciplines and encourage referral of complex cases. The course is composed of two components; didactic and clinical.
The didactic parts will build on the knowledge and skills gained by students through previous courses of periodontics and broaden their understanding and appreciation of the role of periodontal therapy, with focus on the surgical phase, within the comprehensive patient care.
The clinical component of the course will advance students? understanding and practice of periodontal instrumentation, patient motivation and education as well as evaluation of treatment outcomes.
