The Advanced Dental Education Program in Periodontics (ADEPP) is designed to train residents in all facets of
periodontology and to prepare them for examination by the American Board of Periodontology. The program is based in a core curriculum of traditional periodontics that includes training in all aspects of diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning. Diversity in the training of faculty exposes each resident to various concepts of conventional surgical and non-surgical therapy.
