Overview

Mini Residency in Periodontics

This is an advanced theory and clinical training program for general dentists looking to expand their knowledge in periodontology and to provide periodontal treatment to their patients. It is designed so you can immediately implement periodontal procedures into your general practice safely and successfully. The education delivered is based on a complete review of the literature on Periodontology with a summation of over 500 articles and reviews. The course focuses on the latest evidence-based procedures with proven longterm outcomes.

The structure of the course is a combination of didactic, hands-on workshops and live surgeries of the procedures taught. The 6 workshops run over one year so you are supported in your clinical practice and have mentorship as you follow your patients through their periodontal treatment journey.
