Determining Prognosis course for Dental Practice
Patients and clinicians are concerned about disease, outcomes of treatment of the disease and then the likely future course of events. This approach to patient care relies on the clinicians’ assessment of prognosis and this session guides you through how you could do this for periodontal disease.

- Define prognosis

- Natural history and classification of periodontal diseases
- Periodontal examination
- Diagnosis and aetiopathology of periodontal diseases
