The primary educational objectives of the Department are to insure that dental students acquire the most current knowledge and skills in Periodontics and train to the highest standards of patient-centered care to meet the changing needs of a diverse population.

Periodontal (gum) diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, are serious infections that can lead to tooth loss and may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and occurrence of pre term, low birth weight babies. Periodontal diseases also appear to pose a serious threat to people whose health is compromised by diabetes, respiratory diseases, or osteoporosis. Periodontists specialize in the treatment of periodontal diseases as well as corrective and reconstructive surgeries. Dental implants, for instance, are often placed into the jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge in people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Periodontal plastic (cosmetic) surgery can be used to correct and enhance the smile and self-image of patients who are increasingly living longer and aging more gracefully.

The primary goal of the Department of Periodontics is to improve quality of life- by preserving and enhancing the appearance, oral function, speech- and  overall health of the public through contributions and innovations in education, service, and research. The Department plans to build on the strong educational programs

An important objective is to incorporate technology-based clinical experiences that develop skills and reinforce key elements of the curriculum.

The overriding mission of the postgraduate program is to train periodontists to the highest level of knowledge and clinical competency of the specialty. Emphasis is placed on the importance of achievements beyond the mandatory educational requirements of the specialty,

Other program strengths include a new visiting lecture series featuring distinguished periodontists, modern and spacious clinic facilities, an unusually abundant and diverse patient pool
