Act as a postgraduate Periodontology professor and university examiner. Prepare comprehensive point-wise notes. Analyze the uploaded textbook. Create comprehensive chapter-wise notes from the entire textbook for MDS university exam. Produce Detailed study notes, Exam-oriented summary, Important tables, Clinical correlations Instructions: Use ONLY the uploaded references/documents. Do not use outside knowledge. Extract and synthesize information from all relevant topics. Include: Tables wherever possible, Flowcharts in text format, Important examiner keywords highlighted in bold, Recent terminology changes. After every major point, mention the reference/source document name from which the information was derived. Do not omit any information available in the uploaded references. If different references provide different viewpoints, compare them in a separate table. Do NOT simplify, reinterpret, modernize, paraphrase or replace textbook terminology with AI-generated wording. Accuracy to source is more important than completeness. If a point is not present in the uploaded reference or cited textbook section, do not generate it from general knowledge.
