Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

Demonstrates an understanding of the nature and etiology of periodontal diseases.
Conducts and accurately record the findings of a comprehensive periodontal examination.
Assesses a patient for the presence of etiologic factors and risk factors contributing to periodontal diseases.
Diagnoses periodontal diseases.
Develops an individual, comprehensive, sequenced treatment plan for patients with up to localized moderate chronic periodontitis using diagnostic and prognostic information which also incorporates patient's goals, values, and concerns.
Treats and or manages patients with gingival diseases and up to localized moderate chronic periodontitis, including patient education, management of interrelated systemic health, and effective subgingival scaling and root planing.
Evaluates the outcomes of periodontal therapies provided to their patients either within their office or services provided by a periodontist to whom the patient may have been referred for treatment.
Provides and assesses success of periodontal maintenance for patients with up to localized moderate chronic periodontitis.
Demonstrates knowledge of therapeutic and referral options for treatment of patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis.
Manages care of patients who are candidates for referral (those with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, aggressive forms of periodontitis, mucogingival conditions, periodontal disease associated with systemic disease or periodontitis that is refractory to treatment) by effective communication and coordination of therapy with a periodontist when appropriate.
