Available to U.S. and Foreign Dental Graduates
Course Description
The Department of Periodontology offers advanced education courses for general practitioners and specialists interested in expanding their knowledge in the fields of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry. The fellowship experience is available to specialists and is tailored to the desires of the fellow with experiences in clinical periodontology, clinical implant dentistry, clinical or basic research and didactic periodontology and implant dentistry courses. The fellow can assist in the faculty’s intramural practice and graduate clinic. In addition, the fellow may attend departmentally offered courses and clinical case conferences that the periodontal residents take. We also offer the fellow an opportunity to work on a basic or clinical research project during the course. The research may be presented at the International Association of Dental Research meeting and could also be published in the periodontal or implant literature.
