Visit Geaux-. Our website was developed with the needs of the busy periodontist in mind. The site features a board re-certification module which will save the busy periodontist many hours by not having to find the ABP's reading references on their own.

ham Endowed Chair in Periodontics. If you have

not attended one of our recent Show 'N Tell events make plans to do so. It is great way to reconnect with the dental school,

our perio faculty and to come back to New Orleans to enjoy some of the nation's best dining venues. We will send a "Save

the Date" announcement as soon as plans are finalized for next year's event

We Greatly Appreciate Your Support

Through the years, numerous alumni of our residency program have contributed to our department on a regular basis and at a high level. The LSU School of Dentistry deeply appreciates the steadfast support of our donors. Numerous individuals have stepped up with generous contributions.

Contributions to our LSU Health Foundation Perio Research and Education Fund go directly toward activities supporting our resident education, such as attending The AAP and The Southwest Society of Periodontists Annual Meeting for third year students and funding their research. Contributions to The Perio Support Fund are unrestricted and help the Department Chairman take care of immediate needs for the whole department. Naturally, we appreciate all of our donors. We would like to recognize the following individuals for their exceptionally high level of support.

Drs. Kathy Abbott, Damon Bradford, Roger Craddock, Nora Delgado-Velasquez, Cynthia Deragon, Gerald Evans, Gary Dewitt, Marty Garrett, Monroe Howell, John Legleu, Tom Mabry, Chuck McCabe, Georgia McDonald, Tom McNeely, Ron Monica (deceased), Hisham Nasr and Ana Saenz, Kris Owens, Bryan Pearson, Murry Rabalais, Ed Savoy, David Simmons, James Simonds, Jeffrey Snitzer, Kristi Soileau, Aymee and Steve Spindler, Ray Steiner, Dr. Ioannis Tsourounakis, Mark Waring, Lisa Wentz, and David Wilson.

At the present time, we are shooting for a level in our Research and Education Fund where the State of Louisiana will provide a match, such that our fund becomes an endowed fund. At that time it will spin off regular proceeds to support resident education. We are only $30K short of the match level due to your prior generous contributions. Please keep this goal in mind. As always, we deeply appreciate and need your continued support! To contribute, click here.

We also wish to thank our corporate sponsors for their generous support of our Advanced Education in Periodontics program.

Our residents train side by side with periodontists who have years of experience using microscopes in periodontal procedures. The residents complete several table top procedures and then are able to render this important service in our clinic. Our clinic is equipped with three Global Surgical microscopes.
