This course will introduce the students to principles and design of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with special reference to periodontal research. Since periodontal health is closely related to several important systematic conditions, this course will focus in the designing of the trials to minimize confounding by systematic factors. This course will also cover topics such as choice of experimental design, choice of controls, sample size determination, methods of randomization, adverse event monitoring
