HDP 822 - Year IV Clinic: Periodontics II
The fourth year component of clinical periodontics continues to develop and reinforce the student’s ability to recognize and diagnose periodontal diseases. In a simulated general practice environment, the student provides comprehensive care including periodontal therapy under the supervision of general dentistry faculty. This experience enables students to understand the role of general dentists in treating and managing patients presenting with various levels of disease including referral to a specialist when appropriate. Students are required to seek consultation with periodontal faculty when patients exhibit clinical and radiographic findings consistent with periodontitis such as probing depth measurements # 5 mm. The periodontal faculty provides coverage for consultation, competency exams, and periodontal surgical procedures.
