The LSUSD Department of Periodontics is responsible for teaching both predoctoral dental students as well as graduate residents in the field of periodontics. The department of periodontics offers predoctoral courses that combine both didactic learning and direct clinical experience beginning in the second year, expanding in scope and student responsibility in the third year, and continues into the fourth year to provide the student with experience with continuity of care issues. The graduate periodontics residency is a three-year program with heavy emphasis on the clinical treatment of patients and clinical research activities. Residents are exposed to all of the contemporary nonsurgical and surgical modalities, including regeneration, dental implants, laser surgery and esthetic plastic periodontal surgery. Most residents also complete a masters degree in oral biology. The department of periodontics faculty contribute both in didactic and clinical instruction. The department also provides consultation services to all of the other clinical department on request.
