This is a core module of the MSc Periodontology and the MSc Advanced Periodontal Practice that is designed to ensure all students are proficient at an advanced level in the non-surgical management of patients with periodontal disease.
The module consists of taught sessions by clinical experts in the field of periodontology covering theoretical teaching, demonstration and teaching of clinical skills using simulation and learning from clinical work based placement undertaking clinical competencies on patients under supervision. Teaching is evidence-based and linked to contemporary literature.
1. To ensure students appreciate the indications for non-surgical periodontal therapy.
2. To train students to undertake non-surgical periodontal and supportive therapy, to refer patients
where appropriate to other members of the healthcare team and to take responsibility for reassessment of the patient following periodontal therapy
