British Society of Periodontology



Undergraduate Curriculum Lectures

Dear Student,

One of the roles of the British Society of Periodontology is to promote the teaching of Periodontology. We have therefore put together a nationally amalgamated series of lecture handouts for your use. The aim is provide you with additional material to that received at your institute which we hope will develop your knowledge of Periodontology and your enthusiasm for the speciality. The lectures are in the format of hand-outs in PDF format which you can easily download.

The lectures have kindly been donated for your use, however please could you obey copyright law and not use the lectures inappropriately. This includes taking images or text from the slides and using them in other presentations or documents
