What does Board Certified mean?
A Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology is a periodontist who has made significant achievements beyond the mandatory educational requirements of the specialty.
To be educationally qualified for Board certification requires:
- Completion of a dental degree (DDS or DMD)
- The candidate must then successfully complete an additional 3 or more years in an educational program in periodontology which is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association. The period of study concentrates on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of periodontal disease, regeneration of supporting tissues of the teeth and their substitutes and maintenance of health, function and esthetics.
In addition to the basic educational requirements, Board Certification requires:
- Comprehensive oral and written examinations covering all phases of periodontal disease and its treatment, including dental implants;
- Recertification of continued competency in periodontics through continuing education and participation in self-study programs.
