DEN 740D Introduction to Comprehensive Care VII

Credits: 3
The DEN 740 series introduces students to the School of Dentistry predoctoral patient care clinic. Students are scheduled for regular rotations through the predoctoral clinic with increasing responsibilities as the course progresses. In the spring term, multiple experiential small group workshops studying Treatment Planning, Social Work, Radiology Interpretation including CBCT small group, and AxiUm will help prepare students to safely treat patients in the clinic as well as think critically about the treatment they are rendering. Students will begin to provide more comprehensive care doing patient intake interviews, performing dental exams, taking and interpreting patient radiographs, administering local anesthetic and providing limited operative and periodontal treatment in the clinical setting, as well as actively participating in pre-doctoral and specialty clinic rotations. This course series is intended to provide a seamless transition into the clinic environment at the School of Dentistry.
