The classic periodontal literature module is divided into 3 main groups.

Classic Periodontal Literature

1. Anatomy & the pathologic processes of periodontitis.
2. Diagnosis and etiology.
3. Interventions- both non surgical, surgical and occlusion.

Periodontal anatomy and the pathologic processes of periodontitis

  1. Soft tissue anatomy and attached gingiva.
  2. The dentogingival junction
  3. Collagen and the PDL
  4. Periodontal Immunology
  5. Inflammation & Pathogenesis of periodontitis
  6. Measures and predictors of disease activity
  7. Epidemiology of periodontitis and indices
  8. Gingival crevicular fluid
  9. Saliva

Control of etiology, diagnostic methods, criteria and classification system

16. Statistics

 

Interventions: occlusion, non surgical and surgical treatment for periodontitis, esthetic periodontal surgery and more.
