Gerodontology and Periodontology

The primary areas of emphasis for the Department of Periodontology's residers in periodontology are moralistic and clinical instruction. Our charge is to prepare residers to exercise well in the field of periodontics, to suppose critically, and to continue to learn throughout their lives. In addition to giving residers the most recent clinical training in all angles of periodontology and surgical implant dentistry, our pretensions are to give residers an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings and abecedarian lores involved in the conservation of health and/ or the treatment of conditions of the periodontium. to increase their understanding of the liaison between the medical and dental fields and to broaden their professional judgment to incorporate long- term periodontal case treatment.
