3.00 Credits
3 credits This course will introduce the student to the anatomy and histology of each tooth and all structures of the oral cavity. Learning opportunities will be offered in the form of lecture and demonstration, with the aid of anatomical models and extracted teeth so that the student will be prepared to identify individual structures of the mouth in preparation of clinical experience. The student will draw extensively on prior learning from principles associated with Anatomy and Physiology. Additionally, Microbiology will be taken either prior or concurrently andprovide a framework for analysis within the scope of oral hygiene, tissues, and structure. Histology and embryology of the oral tissues and face, anatomy of the head and neck, tooth morphology, development and function, and individual tooth identification and morphology of the primary and permanent dentition will be covered. This course gives the dental hygiene student the basic anatomical knowledge to utilize in the clinical component of the program. Prerequisites: BIO 204. Co-requisites: BIO 205, DHY 102, DHY 103.

5.00 Credits
5 credits This course is an introduction to the practice of dental hygiene. Content is heavily focused on assessment of health, safety, risk management, and patient needs. Additionally, time will be spent on identifying instruments and their proper application. Theory and practice are combined in such a way that the student is afforded the opportunity to learn didactic material, practice and manipulate anatomical mannequins, and then synthesize this learning by using peer partners. Additionally, the student is provided with information and practice opportunities in dental and medical emergencies. Clinical experience included. Prerequisites: Current CPR certification, health professional level. BIO204 and admission into the Dental Hygiene Program. Co-requisites: DHY101 and DHY103.

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is an introduction to the science of radiology: the nature of radiation, radiation physics, theory and practice in the fundamentals of exposure and processing techniques, radiation hygiene and safety, and introduction to radiographic interpretation. Lab experience included. Prerequisites: BIO204 and admission into the Dental Hygiene Program: Co-requisites: DHY101 and DHY102.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course will provide a theoretical and practical study of the head, neck, face, and oral cavity. Included are the bones and their landmarks, nerves, and blood supply. Muscles of the head, neck, and masticatory system and the lymphatic system will also be studied. The student will gain knowledge into the supporting structures of the head and neck and will be able to incorporate knowledge previously acquired in Anatomic Science for the Dental Hygienist I. Prerequisites: DHY101. Co-requisites: DHY202, DHY106, DHY107, DHY108.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course introduces the student to the various types of dental materials used in dental offices. These include restoration materials (metals/composites), impression materials, sealants, mouth guards, tooth whitening, and temporary restorations. The student will learn to mix and prepare the various materials used. The role of the dental auxiliary in the manipulation and application of these materials is stressed. The classroom component will introduce the student to the properties of the materials and how to mix them proportionately. Lab experience included. Prerequisites: DYH101, 102 and 103; BIO209; Co-requisites: DHY202, 107, 108, NUT101.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course introduces the student to the healthy periodontium and periodontal diseases. Included are the classifications of periodontal diseases, the microbiology of periodontal diseases, local contributory risk factors and systemic risk factors for periodontal diseases, host immune response ,and the histopathogenesis of periodontal diseases. The student will become familiar with gingival, periodontal, and radiographic assessment of periodontal diseases. Using an evidence-based approach, along with case studies, treatment modalities will be discussed with emphasis placed on diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical, management and evaluation of periodontal patients. Information in this course will build upon oral anatomy, microbiology, and pre-clinical dental hygiene concepts presented in the fall semester. Prerequisites: DYH101, 102, and 103; BIO209. Co-requisites: DHY202, 106, 108, NUT101.

6.00 Credits
6 credits This course provides a progression for the student from the content learned in DHY102 Dental Hygiene Process of Care I. The major transition lies in students beginning to treat patients rather than practicing on mannequins. Content is heavily focused on assessment of health, safety, risk management, medical emergencies, and patient needs, along with treatment planning and beginning implementation. Additional emphasis is focused on patients with special needs, nutrition, and patient education. Theory and practice are combined in such a way that the student is afforded the opportunity to learn didactic material and transfer this knowledge to work with patients in the clinic setting. Clinical experience included. Prerequisites: DHY101, 102, and 103; BIO209. Co-requisites: DHY106 and DHY107 and NUT101.
-
2.00 Credits
2 credits This course introduces the student to basic principles of diseases of the head and oral cavity. The basis of instructions is derived from the paradigm of oral health and its juxtaposition to disease. Common pathology, such as genetic disorders, oral manifestations of systemic diseases, oral cancer, leukoplakia, and nicotinic stomatitis are covered in detail. Prerequisites: DHY106, 107, and 108, ENG102, PSY105.Co-requisites: DHY02, 203, 204, and 205.

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course was designed to present the student with the principles of pharmacology, the drug actions, interactions, and effects on treatment of dental patients. Drugs commonly used in dentistry will be covered as well as physical and chemical properties, mode of administration, preparations, and effects on body systems. Pharmacological treatment of medical emergencies associated with dental treatment will also be covered. Prerequisites: DYH106, 107, and 108, ENG102, PSY105. Co-requisites: DHY201, 203, 204, and 205.
