Most of the periodontal programs require the GRE test and 3 years length in program. As of 2003 many of the graduate periodontal programs are not receiving funding from the Graduate Medical Education Act. Because of this, programs normally offering a stipend are expecting tuition payments. It is best to inquire with each individual programs about their specific requirements. After completing residency, a written examination is required for certification. The application link follows: (link)

Questions to ask Periodontal Programs:
What is the tuition?
How many recommendations are needed?
What are the minimum National Board Examination scores required for admission?
What is the GPA requirement?
Do you need research experience to apply? What type of research work is required once I have matriculated into the program?
Is implantology part of the program's curriculum?
