Objectives of the Course

This course aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the objectives, indications, treatment modalities, surgical techniques, and biomaterials used in periodontal surgery, together with the stages of wound healing. Furthermore, the course emphasizes the importance of supportive periodontal therapy during the maintenance phase following treatment. It also addresses periodontal conditions requiring emergency intervention, the relationship between systemic diseases and periodontal diseases, the indications for pharmacological therapy in periodontology, and the significance of multidisciplinary approaches in periodontal diagnosis and treatment.

Course Content

This course covers the fundamental objectives of periodontal surgical procedures, their clinical indications, and the available treatment modalities. Surgical techniques and the types and properties of biomaterials used during periodontal surgical procedures are examined, while the biological stages of periodontal wound healing are explained in detail. In addition, the course emphasizes the importance of the maintenance phase in preserving periodontal health following treatment and evaluates the impact of regular follow-up and supportive periodontal therapy on long-term treatment outcomes. Furthermore, clinical conditions requiring emergency periodontal intervention and the bidirectional relationship between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases are discussed. The interrelationship of periodontal therapy with prosthetic and orthodontic treatment is also addressed, highlighting the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to comprehensive patient care.

Name of Lecturer(s)
Learning Outcomes
1.Defines clinical conditions in periodontology requiring emergency intervention, including necrotizing periodontal diseases and gingival and periodontal abscesses, and determines appropriate treatment approaches.
2.Explains the bidirectional relationship between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases, as well as the effects of tobacco use on the periodontal tissues.
3.Explains the fundamental principles of periodontal surgery, including its indications and contraindications, and describes the techniques of gingivectomy and flap surgery.
4.Explains the suture materials and techniques used in periodontal surgery, as well as the characteristics and clinical applications of biomaterials.
5.Explains the anatomy and classification of furcation defects and determines the appropriate treatment approach.
6.Explains the objectives of mucogingival surgery, techniques used to increase the width of attached gingiva, and root coverage procedures for gingival recession.
7.Compares the philosophy of guided tissue regeneration, the biomaterials used in periodontal regeneration, and resective versus regenerative treatment approaches for intrabony defects.
8.Explains the importance of periodontal maintenance therapy, the long-term effects of supportive periodontal therapy on treatment outcomes, and the clinical situations in which pharmacological therapy is indicated.
9.Explains the multidisciplinary relationship of periodontology with prosthetic dentistry and orthodontics, the management of traumatic occlusion, and the application of splinting techniques.
10.Explains current approaches in periodontology, including the use of lasers, aesthetic concepts, and the management of halitosis.
