Outcomes and Objectives
- Demonstrate understanding of the periodontium.
- Review and explain, sequentially, the embryologic and histologic development of the periodontium.
- Explain the functions of the periodontium:
- Attached and Unattached gingiva
- Crevicular fluid and junctional epithelium
- periodontal ligament and Cementum
- alveolar bone
- Discuss details of the basic concepts of immunity and inflammation.
- Explain the significance of host immune response.
- Identify periodontal risk factors that are acquired, environmental and genetic.
- Describe the effect of periodontal risk factors on the onset, progression and severity of periodontal diseases.
- Utilizing assessment data identify the health of the periodontium.
- Describe the characteristics of the periodontium in health and in disease:
- Color, contour and consistency of the gingiva
- Bone destruction, including horizontal and vertical bone loss and bony defects
- The difference between pseudopockets and periodontal pockets
- The significance of the presence of bleeding or suppuration
- Demonstrate knowledge of clinical periodontal assessments:
- PSR
- probing depth
- bleeding and suppuration
- level of the gingival margin
- level of the mucogingival junction
- clinical attachment level
- mobility
- furcation involvement
- presence of calculus deposits and biofilm
- gingival inflammation
- bone loss
- local factors
- Compare and contrast the periodontium in health and in inflammation.
- Demonstrate the classification of periodontal disease utilizing the classification system as established by the American Academy of Periodontology.
- Differentiate between various periodontal diseases, including biofilm induced and non-biofilm induced.
- Explain chronic, acute, aggressive periodontal disease.
- Identify oral manifestations of systemic disease.
- Categorize periodontal diseases using the classification system as established by the American Academy of Periodontology.
- Interpret the recorded information of a comprehensive periodontal examination.
- Define theories of disease progression.
- Explain the incidence, prevalence and etiology of periodontal diseases.
- List the steps for arriving at a periodontal diagnosis.
- Explain the sequence of periodontal treatment.
- Evaluate potential periodontal interrelationships to include:
- Stroke
- coronary heart disease
- respiratory disease
- diabetes
- malnutrition
- habits, such as tobacco use
- Other conditions associated with progression of periodontal disease
- Relate the assessment data to the role of systemic diseases and local factors in susceptibility of periodontal diseases.
- Explain the patient's role in therapy.
- Describe the stages of development bacterial colonization.
- Compare and contrast the composition of human supragingival and subgingival biofilm.
- Relate the patient’s role in minimizing biofilm to disease prevention and control.
- Explain the importance of patient education in obtaining compliance.
