This seminar course is the fourth and last of a series of four such seminars that discuss essential aspects of clinical pediatric dentistry, with emphasis on the scientific evidence supporting contemporary practice. These four consecutive seminar courses over four semesters (two academic years) provide the pediatric dentistry graduate student with a conceptual basis for caring for the oral health of children. This fourth seminar in the series consists of sixteen two- hour sessions (32 hours) and addresses the required reading list of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Subsequent to completing the graduate program the pediatric dentistry graduate student will take a written and clinical examination administered by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry in order to be board-certified in the clinical specialty. The seminar is designed to ensure the graduate student is prepared to successfully complete the examination.
