The Advanced Dental Education Program in Periodontics is a 36-month, full-time program beginning July 1. It is designed to meet the eligibility requirements of the American Dental Association for specialization in periodontics and for the certifying examination given by the American Board of Periodontology. Two to three students are accepted each year. Training is provided primarily in the School of Dental Medicine and its clinical facility (Dental Care Center) and at Stony Brook University Hospital. The program objective is to produce highly educated and clinically competent periodontists compentent in the diagnosis and treatment of the various forms of periodontal diseases. Significant training is given in implantology, oral and periodontal plastic surgery, oral reconstructive surgery, and periodontal medicine.
Educational objectives are accomplished through lectures, seminars, case presentation conferences and clinical practice.
