PrerequisiteProgram Admission This course will familiarize the student with common medical emergencies in the dental office. Preventive measures and management of these emergencies will be reviewed. Additionally, information on the basic physiology and pathophysiology occurring with common medical emergencies as well as variations in clinical signs will be presented. Reinforcement occurs throughout the students clinical experiences by real or simulated emergencies. Students upon entering the program are to be certified by the American Heart Association and/or the American Red Cross at the Basic Life Healthcare provider level.

PrerequisiteProgram Admission CorequisiteDHY 120 Fundamentals of dental hygiene is that portion of the dental hygiene curriculum focused on developing the cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills necessary for delivery of preventive, educational and therapeutic services to the public. This course will prepare the dental hygiene student with cognitive, psychomotor and affective skills for entry into clinical dental hygiene practice. Also this course will expose the student to selected services and skills performed by the dental hygienist. Fundamentals of Dental Hygiene is an introduction to the principles of dental hygiene practice. The students will be presented with topics to prepare them to perform basic skills safely and effectively. Theory of taking a complete medical and dental history, intra/extraoral examination, dental charting, periodontal charting, basic instrumentation, scaling and polishing of the teeth and topical fluoride application will be covered. Students will practice procedures in the clinical course DHY 120. Emphasis will also be placed on professional standards, ethics, effective communication and confidentiality.

3.00 Credits
PrerequisiteProgram Admission An introduction to anatomical nomenclature and descriptive gross anatomy of the head, neck, and oral cavity. Topics include tooth morphology, head and neck anatomy and occlusion. Tooth morphology is the area of dental science that deals with the structure and form of the tooth. Head and neck anatomy includes the study of the oral cavity and its surrounding structures, including osteology, muscles, nerves, arterial supply, venous drainage, lymphatics, salivary glands, and sinuses. Occlusion is described as the relationship of the teeth in the maxillary and mandibular arches to each other, focusing on a working knowledge of the dental arch forms, inter- and intra-arch tooth alignment, and intercuspal relationships. Students are required to complete selected carvings of selected teeth during lab sessions. The first half of the semester will cover in great depth the anatomy of the individual teeth and the functional interrelationship between the individual teeth and the periodontal tissues. During the second half of the semester, the course will concentrate on head and neck anatomy which will include an in-depth understanding of the skeletal, muscular, vascular, and neural structures of this anatomical region and their individual and interrelating functions.

PrerequisiteDHY 101, DHY 110, DHY 120 Histology and Oral Embryology encompasses the development of the oral facial complex including the formation of the enamel, dentin and pulp root formation, the attachment apparatus and the eruption and shedding of the teeth. The course focus is on the ontogeny of humans with emphasis on the development of the maxillofacial area and dental structures. Study will be divided into 3 parts. The first part of the course will cover basic and general histology, such as the study of the cell and its organelles, epithelium, connective tissue, blood and its cellular elements, cartilage, bone, muscle, nerve tissue, etc. The second part of the course will cover the histology of the oral and dental structures, such as the oral epithelium, enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum, alveolar bone, PDL, etc. The third part of the course will cover the embryology of the oral and head and neck structures. This course is a fascinating one that promises to be quite challenging and interesting. In this course, you will study the various tissues and organs and organ systems of the human body from a microscopic view. In other words, gross anatomy deals with structures that can be seen with the naked eye, whereas histology dealswith structures that require a microscope (whether light or electronto visualize. In addition to learning about the microscopic anatomy of the afore-mentioned, you will also learn about these structures from a biochemical point of view. Perhaps even more fascinating is the embryology portion of this course that will teach you the basis for the development of the human being. Again when studying the development of the human, you will learn and study this process from a microscopic and biochemical vantage.

PrerequisiteProgram Admission CorequisiteDHY 101 The delivery of comprehensive care is accomplished through adherence to the process of careassessment of patient needs, formulation of a dental hygiene diagnosis, planning for the prevention and treatment of oral disease, implementation of various dental hygiene interventions (servicesand evaluation of both the patient and practitioner efforts and oral health outcomes. Clinical Techniques is designed to develop skills in the techniques utilized for dental hygiene practice. Students will practice techniques on typodonts and student partners. Assessment of competency is performed on student partners. Each topic covered in the didactic course DHY 101 will be practiced and assessed in this course. Clinical practice is provided in collaboration with the clinical dental hygiene faculty through an assessment of patient needs, planning for treatment and disease control. Treatment includes implementation of various clinical dental hygiene services and an evaluation of treatment effectiveness based on the patient/clinic and practitioners efforts. Sequential courses are designed to increase the student's speed and ability. Assessment of student progress in attaining program and clinical competency is ongoing.
