– The problems encountered in teaching periodontal surgery are outlined, and a teaching method using the pig's mandible is proposed. The method whereby the material is used and the effect of the program on students' progress are reported. The results indicate that using the pig mandible as a model system for teaching periodontal surgery improves the theoretical and practical abilities of the students and increases their confidence in performing periodontal surgery.
