This course is designed to provide general dental practitioners (GDPs) and periodontology specialist with further understanding in periodontology.
The emphasis will be on diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical management, as well as the role of periodontics in the daily clinical practice.
You'll also develop relevant clinical skills through the hands-on elements of the workshop and clinical practice.
