Comprehensive Periodontics
7th – 9TH march 2025
Course Summary
Are you unable to treat 7 out of 10 periodontal cases that you see? Is periodontology missing from your practice? Is deep scaling the maximum periodontal intervention that you can do? Unsure of how to “STOP” tooth mobility? Unable to raise a flap or suture for a long-term predictable outcome? Unable to refer your patients to a periodontist? Worried that a bone placement will fail?
It has increasingly become necessary for general practitioners to be proficient in periodontal surgery, especially on examination and diagnosis. Periodontal surgical techniques are not routinely taught in dental school. This course is designed to enhance and develop the practitioner’s skills in basic and advanced periodontal flap surgery. The surgical procedures taught will provide a clear understanding of each procedure. Upon completion of this course, you will have acquired the critical skills to perform periodontal surgery in your clinical practice. Live surgery will also be performed to improve the learning experience.
