5.00 Credits
This course focuses on transition into clinical practice. Development of clinical skills continues with consideration of periodontal assessment and treatment planning and the introduction of ultrasonic instrumentation, polishing pit and fi ssure sealant application, instrument sharpening procedures and pain control techniques. Students are also familiarized with the scope of dental specialty areas and common procedures performed in prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, pedodontics and orthodontics. In the entry level clinical component of this course, the student applies principles and techniques learned in didactic and pre-clinical laboratory courses to actual clinical practice.

This course introduces the student to radiological technology to assure that dental professionals who expose patients to radiation for diagnostic purposes meet radiological health standards. Emphasis will be placed on radiation physics, biological effects of radiation, function of dental x-ray equipment, quality and interpretation of x-ray films and darkroom techniques. Students will be taught techniques for producing dental radiographs of acceptable diagnostic quality. Technical skills will be developed on manikins before students demonstrate competence in a clinical setting. (Two hours lecture/two hours laboratory.) Prerequisites: This course is open to students enrolled in the Dental Hygiene Program.
-
2.00 Credits
