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. Students also
participate in the
periodontics clinic
where they are exposed
to and even perform
simple surgical
procedures. 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,
microsurgery and
esthetic plastic
periodontal surgery.
The
Department of
Periodontics has six
full-time and six
part-time faculty
members who contribute
to both didactic and
clinical instruction.
Most full-time faculty
members are also
involved with research
projects which provide
students with the
opportunity for exposure
to research. The
department also provides
consultation services to
all other clinical
departments upon
request.
