Just curious about this communities thoughts on the future of perio?
We had on OS faculty recently tell students in his OS rotation that perio is a dying speciality; do you think that is accurate? I understand the thought process with many GP's placing implants, but would there not still be a place for perio in more complex implant cases and more specifically GTR's and additional grafting procedures?
However, on that same note, what is the expected salary for a newly minted Periodontist after residency? I've seen some say that it's dependent on referral base, once you have that you do well, but it takes a minute to build. At the beginning, what are perio docs expecting?
