Its a 4 year program at upenn, but its not perio pros, its perio and periodontal prosthesis, there is only didactic training in prostho, so in planning big cases you may benefit from the perio mainly as theres no dedicated pros faculty. the guys i know who ve graduated have a strong perio but weak pros foundation, and maybe you cut out your referral chances.

I could be wrong but I believe seattle has a combined perio/pros program. Or so I've heard.

In theory I think the perio/pros program sounds neat, but I don't see the practicality of it. Wouldn't this graduate be running basically a general dentistry office that referred out exos and endo. Who is really going to refer to this person knowing that they may lose all their crown and bridge to the infamous "black hole of perio"?

I'm not saying this is the case; I'm just wondering how this would work. Do these people mainly teach? Work only in huge cities where they can get enough full mouth rehabs referred to justify the dual specialization? Does anyone know of doctor who runs a dual perio/pros practice; do they end up focusing more on one specialty over the other?

I believe San Antonio now has one -- 5 years.
