LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT	At the end of this course, the students; 1) Demonstrate an understanding of the nature and etiology of periodontal diseases. 2) Conduct and accurately record the findings of a comprehensive periodontal examination. 3) Assess a patient for the presence of etiologic factors and risk factors contributing to periodontal diseases. 4) Diagnose periodontal diseases. 5) Develop an individual, comprehensive, sequenced treatment plan for patients with up to localized moderate chronic periodontitis using diagnostic and prognostic information which also incorporates patient's goals, values, and concerns. 6) Treat and or manage patients with gingival diseases and up to localized moderate chronic periodontitis, including patient education, management of interrelated systemic health, and effective subgingival scaling and root planing. 7) Evaluate the outcomes of periodontal therapies provided to their patients either within their office or services provided by a periodontist to whom the patient may have been referred for treatment. 8) Provide and assess success of periodontal maintenance for patients with up to localized moderate chronic periodontitis. 9) Demonstrate knowledge of therapeutic and referral options for treatment of patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis. 10) Manage care of patients who are candidates for referral (those with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, aggressive forms of periodontitis, mucogingival conditions, periodontal disease associated with systemic disease or periodontitis that is refractory to treatment) by effective communication and coordination of therapy with a periodontist when appropriate.
