This paper briefly reviews the historical relationship between oral medicine and periodontics. The reasons for including structured clinical oral medicine in a postdoctoral program in periodontics are discussed. Problems and solutions to such an integrated program are outlined. Guidelines for broadening the base of the field of periodontics by expanding the specialty more vigorously into the area of clinical oral medicine are provided.
