Periodontology

The Department of Periodontology is dedicated to comprehensively educating students through classroom and clinical teaching in the art and science of advanced therapies. The goal is for graduates to be able to diagnose, plan treatment, and provide often complex periodontal care for patients across Mississippi, including in areas with shortages of general and specialist dentists.

Patients admitted to the School of Dentistry are assessed and then referred to the Department of Periodontology if their periodontal needs are complex or if they require surgery such as crown lengthening, pocket elimination, periodontal regeneration, implants, soft tissue grafting, and more. Students complete the patients' care under the supervision of Periodontists (specialist dentists).
