PERIODONTICS The changes in dentistry and dental education have been momentous in the last quarter century. Periodontics has been a central focus of this revo- lution. Supported by the dramatic re- duction in dental caries and the in- crease in human longevity, the goal of a lifetime natural dentition has pro- pelled periodontics to the forefront of dental science. The central philosophy of the Divi- sion of Periodontics is the ability and willingness to interpret and respond to the research findings in basic sci- ence and clinical periodontology. The key to successfully imparting this phi- losophy is a unique faculty blend of researchers and clinicians. The con- tributions of the Columbia faculty are notable, and Columbia graduates in- clude several dental school deans and the authors of a number of text- books. This eclectic blend of faculty offers the Columbia Student a broad range of approaches to clinical prob- lems. The graduate is well prepared to deal with the immediate needs of his or her patients and more impor- tantly, is ready to continue to study and understand the changes in perio- dontics in practices that will enter the twenty-first century.
