DM 712 Introduction to Dental Materials II

Credits: 1
This course is the second in a series of three, one-credit hour courses. This course, as well as the one preceding and the subsequent courses, emphasizes basic material science theories as they relate to the use of metals, ceramics, and polymers in clinical dentistry. The primary purposes of this course are to provide the student with knowledge of:

the general nature and composition of dental materials,
the physical properties of materials used in dentistry and medicine, and
the indications for and proper use of dental materials.

This course is integrated with the pre-clinic course in Prosthodontics. The manipulation of the various materials are emphasized in those courses, but are introduced in this course. While this is not expected to be a common occurrence, occasionally you will be asked to watch recorded content on your own. Content covered in class and in the recordings will be included in the exam. Welcome to Spring, have a great term!

Graded: Pass/No pass
May be taken only once for credit
