Dental implants and regenerative surgery will be covered along with surgical techniques and the indications and contraindications. Biomedical sciences associated with systemic health of the patient and that of the biomaterials used in the management of the periodontium will stimulate critical thinking and problem solving in determination of use in basic and advanced modalities of Periodontal therapy.
