HDP 601 - Diagnosis and Treatment of Periodontal Diseases I
Lectures, problem-based cases, laboratory, and clinical exercises are utilized to review the etiology, pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal diseases. The first component of the course uses lectures, problem-based cases and clinical exercises to provide students the knowledge and skills required to provide patient care. The knowledge and skills acquired include the ability to obtain data necessary to formulate a periodontal diagnosis, diagnose periodontal diseases including gingivitis, stage I, stage II, stage III and stage IV periodontitis, develop an individual, comprehensive, sequenced treatment plan using diagnostic and prognostic informatin which also incorporates patient’s goals, values, and concerns, and provide patient education regarding preventive oral health procedures. Non-surgical treatments of periodontal disease including scaling and root planing (hand and ultrasonic instrumentation), and utilization of antimicrobial rinses, and local drug delivery are reviewed using lectures, video clips, laboratory and clinical exercises. Lectures utilize the basic science component of the course as a foundation to discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of various clinical conditions related to the periodontium including molar-incisor pattern of periodontitis (formerly known as aggressive), necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis, gingival overgrowth, herpetic and aphthous lesions. Oral manifestations of systemic disease as well as the relationship between certain systemic disease and periodontal disease and treatment will be reviewed. The role of occasion with regard to periodontitis is discussed. Lectures and problem-based cases are used to expose students to various surgical procedures including gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, and periodontal flap surgery. The course will culminate in a series of presentations focused on treatment planning and relevant current literature.
