Periodontology: Masterclass in Periodontics
Perio life and aesthetics- “A practical approach to periodontics”
During dental treatment which is the most basic part considered for aesthetic and therapeutic purpose? Is it periodontal? If you ever had gingival disease or you had thought of going for implant or you have bone loss near your teeth then only a periodontist or a periodontal specialist or any other dental practitioner who have a good knowledge in periodontics will help you with this problem.

Dr. Kishor
I have recently completed my 4 days Periodontics course from Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute and I am completely satisfied with my performance in the course. I have already started applying whatever I learnt during this course and it has given me immense job satisfaction. It surely couldn’t have been possible without the mentorship of Dr. Rajat and Dr. Kumar.
The program has trained us in every aspect of Periodontics from use of ultrasonic scalers, Gracey curettes to complex surgeries like frenectomy and flap surgery. It has given me the clinical acumen to correctly diagnose a periodontally compromised case and thereafter decide the treatment plan. Rationale behind every procedure was explained along with the complications and risk associated with it. We were even taught how to manage such complications and save the day.
I would really recommend this course to every clinician who wants to deliver a sound and ethical treatment to their patients. I have personally gained a lot from this course which not only includes knowledge on the subject matter but also the tips to run a good practice wherein we can find both mental and financial stability.
Dr. Khyati
I have been running my general practice in Rohtak for 7 years now and majority of the patients I see suffer from one or the other periodontal issues. With my incomplete knowledge on the subject, I was definitely not doing them any justice.
I signed up for this course based on the recommendation of my senior and friend. Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s institute for dental diploma courses is definitely one of the best in terms of the infrastructure and quality of education. The course on Periodontics was led by Dr. Jaya Kumar and I was fortunate enough to be taught by him. As they say, a well-laden tree often bows down, Dr. Kumar was also extremely humble and down-to-earth. He was patient enough to clear all our doubts during the lectures. We learnt about every aspect of the subject including surgical and non-surgical parts. Bone grafting and barrier membranes were dealt both in theory and practice. We got an opportunity to view live demonstrations on crown lengthening using lasers and also learn about PRP and PRF.
I am still in contact with their support team for any queries that I have in my cases. My approach towards periodontal cases have improved drastically and I am now able to deliver my patients with correct and advanced treatments.
Dr. Malini
My skills in Periodontics was just limited to scaling and polishing, and I really wanted to expand my knowledge in the subject. I chose Dr. Rajat Sachdeva’s dental institute for my course based on multiple positive reviews on Google. When I personally met Dr. Rajat and explained him my expectations from the course, he was very encouraging. He advised me to join the 6-day course to get a complete idea on the subject area.
We got great insight into various periodontal problems like management of pockets, flap surgery, gummy smile correction and much more. The lectures were short and precise where we were taught the concepts with a practical orientation. The training was designed so that we learn as clinicians and not just students. I really looked forward to learn some important clinical tips and tricks of the trade from renowned periodontist, Dr. Jaya Kumar. It was an absolute honor to share a room with him and learn from his years of experience.
I would also like to thank our course conductor Garvita who has been nothing but helpful to all the participants. Dr. Rajat also supervised us during the hands-on sessions and he personally made sure I learn everything we had discussed before. With such focus on each participant, this course was surely a success for all of us.
Dr. Minakshi
I have previously attended a hands-on fixed prosthodontics course run by Dr. Rajat Sachdeva and was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, care and dedication that he applies to his teaching and running the course. I was impressed by the fact that the level of knowledge and depth at which he taught was conveyed in such a simple and easy manner. I almost immediately signed up for his course on Periodontics as well. The practical application of the theory taught was excellently executed and superbly organized. As a result, I came away from the course much more confident in my skills in being able to apply the procedures learnt on the course in practice. Dr. Rajat was happy to share his personal number and agreed to help us all in any difficulties we face. He has been a constant support and I am fortunate to have him as my mentor in my career.
Dr. Mukund
I had enrolled in Periodontics 6 days course at Dr. Rajat’s institute. Before starting the course, I had a very basic knowledge about the subject, but after the course completion, I got much better understanding of case selection and treatment planning. No corners were cut when it came to imparting knowledge and each delegate was given equal attention to ensure consistent teaching. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and will not shy away from any periodontal cases in my career. It is a great deal for me. I have recommended many colleagues and friends to attend his courses.
Dr. Vinayak
I am glad to have been associated with this academy and got to learn so much about periodontal diseases and management. This course is no less than any other and I was fascinated by numerous clinical cases from Dr. Rajat’s own clinic having been successfully treated. The two-day broad coverage on the surgical aspects of periodontology with step-by-step demonstrations, case discussions, and hands-on experience on live patients cleared my concepts. We worked on full and partial thickness flap surgeries, clinical crown lengthening procedures, laser treatment for gingivectomy, and bone grafting for periodontal bone defects. Dr. Rajat has proved an invaluable mentor to me and helped me with my own cases by giving his professional input. He is truly a class apart. I highly recommend this institute.
Dr. Girija
I have attended Dr. Rajat’s Periodontics course and just wish I had done it before in my clinical career. This course is wholesome covering the clinical and cosmetic aspects of Periodontology. With a well-formulated programme, that provides in-depth knowledge on the subject, Dr.Rajat and his team have helped me diversify my knowledge and understanding of the possible treatment modalities in patients. The Cosmetic applications of Periodontology which includes Crown lengthening, Gingival depigmentation (Gum Bleaching), Frenectomy, Vestibuloplasty, Operculectomy, Gingivectomy, and Gingivoplasty were covered in detail with hands-on experience on patients. Its been an enriching 6 days of learning and I am grateful to have learned from the best.
Dr. Smitha
I had completed my BDS in 2014 and wished to do a course which helped me to secure to what I believe to be foundations of dentistry and I was recommend Dr. Sachdeva’s dental institute. I am glad that I attended all sessions including a course on Periodontics. I can say during the time I spent with the prominent faculty and mentors there, it completely changed my diagnosing, treatment planning and treatment of patients with periodontal disease and implant related diseases. The relaxed environment and open learning, made the course more enjoyable and sessions of practical helped to reinforce the theory and helped me to develop my surgical skills and management of soft tissues. I have no negatives to say about the course and only positives and anyone who attends the course will have a much clearer and much better understand of periodontal disease and how to successfully diagnose, treat and manage patients presenting with periodontal disease of all severity.
Dr. Vandana
I have found Dr. Rajat and his team to be very approachable in their demeanor. Dr. Rajat’s in-depth knowledge on Periodontology and implantology was shared in a relaxed and simple to understand manner. This was in conjunction with the invaluable practical exposure allowed one to practice what was taught with a great deal of confidence. I have no hesitation in recommending courses taught by him. I have already signed up for their basic and advanced endodontics courses.
Dr. Yogeshwer
I wanted to learn more about periodontal surgery planning, execution with a proper treatment approach when I came across Dr.Rajat's Dental Institute. In 6 days, we worked on a lot of interesting cases on live patients. Cases included ones for Furcation involvement, root hemi section, use of GTR, and bone grafting. The module was well structured, covering the basics of periodontology with recent advances. With the help of Dr.Rajat and his team, I could confidently work on live patients. This course has helped me broaden my perspective towards treatment planning in patients with compromised periodontal conditions.
Dr. Ekta
The short course on periodontics has been phenomenal and I have enjoyed every moment. It has given me the confidence to assess, diagnosis and treat periodontal disease. Above all it as increased my patient communication skills, patient care and treatment acceptance. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course .
Dr. Mayuri
A course, particularly on Periodontal diseases and their management, is hard to find. I’m glad to have come across Dr. Rajat’s Dental Institute and attended the 4-day Periodontology course. On the first day, we covered the basics of Periodontal diseases, diagnosis, and treatment planning which followed a live demonstration on periodontal instrumentation. The second and the third day stressed on the surgical aspects of Periodontal disease management which included live demonstration and hands-on experience in Flap surgeries, suturing techniques, and bone grafting. On the final day, we learned the use of lasers in periodontology. It was a wholesome experience getting to learn the latest and the best approaches towards Periodontal disease management from Dr. Sachdeva and his team.
