This area relates to the anatomy, histology, and microbiology/pathology of those tissues that surround and support the teeth. Disease processes affecting the periodontal tissues and the fields of preventive and therapeutic periodontics will also be studied with emphasis on the clinical role of the dental hygienist. Integration of knowledge from other courses will support further study in phases of periodontal therapy and periodontal surgery. This area builds on information introduced in earlier semesters.
