Course Objective

To teach the anatomy of periodontal tissues consisting of gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone in detail, to explain the etiological factors that play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of periodontal diseases and their treatments.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Students distinguish between periodontal health and disease.
2   Defines the of concept of pocket and attachment, which are fundamental in diagnosis, classification, treatment planning and supportive periodontal diseases.
3   Defines local and systemic etiological factors that play a role in the pathogenesis and progression of periodontal diseases.
4   Classifies periodontal diseases and makes a differential definition of clinical conditions as a result of examining the diseases in question.
