(9 credits) Postdoctoral Periodontics The postdoctoral program in periodontics is a 36-month certificate program that fulfills the specialty requirements of the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation and the American Board of Periodontology. The resident may also elect to pursue the optional Master of Science degree, which may be earned concurrently with the certificate course of study. The program is open to dentists who have graduated (or will graduate) from an accredited United States or Canadian dental school or from an international dental school that provides an equivalent educational background and standing. Completion of a General Practice Residency, Internship, Advanced Education in General Dentistry, or other post-dental school professional activities are encouraged but not required. The program consists of a didactic core curriculum in basic and behavioral sciences, a series of seminars in periodontology and implant dentistry, literature review seminars, periodontal prosthetics, and intravenous moderate sedation. Residents will participate as clinical instructors in the predoctoral periodontology clinic and perform research related to periodontology. The program is designed so that, at the conclusion of the residents’ training, they can provide comprehensive periodontal and implant dentistry care using a variety of surgical and nonsurgical modalities that encompass the full spectrum of the current state-of-the-art procedures. Residents participate in a variety of educational activities that prepare them for careers in clinical practice, education, or research, giving them the skills and knowledge to successfully pursue certification by the American Board of Periodontology.
