This course involves direct student participation in a research project. Projects and thesis are approved by the course director and may be clinical, laboratory experimental or related to dental education. Projects may include original or ongoing research within the Department of Periodontics or other departments of the Medical Center. May be repeated to a maximum of twelve credits.
This course aims to train dental students on how to perform the comprehensive periodontal evaluation, as well as, the non-surgical periodontal treatment on mannequins and classmates.
This is a course designed to provide the student with clinical experience so that he can obtain a minimal competence in the applications of periodontal procedures. Therapeutic procedures involving initial periodontal therapy will be performed by each student.
This is a surgically oriented course which presents information necessary for the diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment of surgical cases. The information gained is applied to planning treatment for actual surgical cases. Lecture, 27 hours; laboratory, 3 hours.
This is a clinical course which offers the student the opportunity to treat patients with more advanced periodontal disease. Therapeutic procedures will be performed by each student as his patients' needs dictate. Clinic, 50 hours.
This clinical course is a continuation of PER 831. The student receives further instruction and experience in diagnosing, planning treatment and treating patients with periodontitis and mucogingival problems.
An introductory survey course in basic human physiology.
Group discussions of clinical cases and clinical applications relevant to human physiology.
This 1-credit hour human physiology laboratory course is designed for current and former students of PGY 206, Elementary Physiology. This course is designed to encourage concept development and integration via application and hypothesis testing. This human physiology laboratory course will take a virtual pragmatic learning approach utilizing healthcare simulation, experimental and clinical data sets, and computer modeling to conduct physiology experiments.
