As a fundamental discipline of oral medicine periodontology has always been taught with professional theoretical knowledge and practical skills as the main focus. As far as the current situation of periodontology teaching is concerned, it is not closely related to the development trend of the times, and the ideological and political curriculum has been further promoted in various majors and disciplines. However, there is not much integration of ideological and political elements in the teaching of periodontology, and it is difficult for students to better develop their personal ideological and moral literacy under its influence. This paper mainly focuses on the significance of integrating ideological and political elements into periodontology, as well as the content and teaching objectives of integrating ideological and political elements into periodontology, aiming at strengthening the cultivation of students' ideological quality, so that students can strengthen their own ideological and behavioral norms. In addition, through the integration of ideological and political elements in the teaching of periodontology, the teaching mode is optimized and the teaching quality is improved, so that students can also be positively affected based on this.
