3.   Describe the clinical and radiographic features of chronic periodontitis and aggressive periodontitis.
4.   Discuss the correlation of periodontal infection as a risk factor to various diseases.
5.   Describe the principles and techniques of periodontal surgery.
6.   Describe surgical closure and post-operative care.
7.   Describe the management of periodontal emergencies.
8.   List and describe the indications, contraindications, and techniques for placement of dental implants.
