Abstract
After completing the work on the classification of periodontal diseases for the year 1999, the new classification appeared in 2018 carrying wide amendments to the pathogenic mechanisms and terminology associated with it. Accordingly, it was necessary for medical colleges to start working on this classification and adopting it in all theoretical and practical aspects. This research paper demonstrates the experience of the Faculty of Dentistry at the International University for Science and Technology with regard to the inclusion of the modern classification of periodontal diseases in the educational curriculum, accompanied by a simplified, questionnaire-based descriptive study to perceive the students' opinions on this from their point of view. In addition to the successful formal inclusion of the modern classification in the university’s curriculum, its systematic implementation had a positive impact on students in terms of acceptance of its general ideas and clinical applications. The students faced most of the difficulties in the “staging” of periodontitis cases, as well as in calculation of the “clinical attachment loss”. In general, the experience of including the 2018 classification of periodontal diseases in the curriculum of the Faculty of Dentistry was successful when all the studied criteria are taken altogether into account.
