The literature review program combines required reading and review of discussion points in order to gain an understanding of the classic and current literature in the field of periodontology. Each week, the student is presented with a list of articles that cover a given subject in its entirety. The student is expected over the course of the year to have read and be familiar with each article. Articles are chosen due to their "classic" standing, or because they highlight a given learning objective. This allows to student to focus on these articles for the weekly discussions in our seminar series. Along with a "classic" literature review, seminars are designated for current literature review in the most recent journals. Upon completion of Literature Review in Periodontics I and II (DEN6061Y and DEN6062Y), the student will be able to understand the classic and current literature in all aspects of the field of periodontology.
