Abstract

Part 1 The historical background of periodontology: the tissues of the periodontium - the gingiva the periodontal ligament the cementum the alveolar bone masticatory function ageing and the periodontium. Part 2 Periodontal pathology - gingival disease: defensive mechanisms of the gingiva gingival inflammation clinical features of gingivitis gingival enlargements acute gingival infections AIDS and the periodontium desquamative gingivitis and diseases of the oral mucosa. Part 3 Periodontal disease: classification of periodontal diseases the periodontal pocket extension of inflammation bone loss and patterns of bone destruction in periodontal disease furcation involvement trauma from occlusion gingival disease in childhood juventile periodontitis the epidemiology of periodontal diseases. Part 4 Etiology of periodontal disease: host response periodontal microbiology host-bacterial interactions in periodontal diseases the role of calculus in periodontal diseases the role of faulty dentistry and other local factors in periodontal disease the role of morphofunctional occlusal factors nutritional influences on the periodontium endocrinologic influences on the periodontium hematologic and other influences on the periodontium systemic condition of periodontal patients. Part 5 The treatment of periodontal disease - diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan: clinical diagnosis radiographic and other aids in the diagnosis of peridontal disease advanced diagnostic methods determination of the prognosis treatment plan rationale for periodontal treatment periodontal treatment of medically compromised patients periodontal management of geriatric patients. Part 6 Instrumentation: periodontal instrumentation principles of periodontal instrumentation instrumentation in different areas of the mouth sharpening of periodontal instruments. Part 7 Treatment of emergencies: treatment of acute gingival disease treatment of the periodontal abscess. Part 8 Phase I therapy: preparation of the tooth surface plaque control treatment of uncomplicated chronic gingivitis antimicrobial agents in periodontal therapy occlusal adjustment minor orthodontic movement in periodontal therapy. Part 8 The surgical phase: the surgical phase of therapy general principles of periodontal surgery gingival curettage gingivectomy technique periodontal flaps the flap technique for pocket theraoy resective osseous surgery reconstructive osseous surgery treatment of furcation involvement and combined periodontal-endodontic therapy mucogingival surgery treatment of gingival enlargement. Part 9 Reconstructive phase: preparation of the periodontium for restorative dentistry periodontal-restorative interrelationships oral implantology phase.
