Orthodontics: Growth And Development
|
|
|
Certain malocclusions and dental deformities can occur due variations in growth and normal developmental process. In order to treat and understand these problems, an in-depth and through understanding of craniofacial growth and development is necessary. Understanding how and when the face and head is actively growing will enable the clinician to redirect facial growth to reduce the severity of forming skeletal/ dental malocclusions. Since orthodontic treatment may involve the modification and/ort manipulation of skeletal growth, it is important not only to understand dental development but also physical, physiologic and psychosocial development. This course is designed to address these needs.

Dental Pharmacology
|
|
|
This course presents an introduction into the mechanisms of action, pharmacodynamics, adverse-effects, dosage forms, relevant pharmacokinetics, for the most common outpatient drugs prescribed and used by patients seen by the dentist. This self-study course represents a more independent approach to the teaching of second year dental school pharmacology. The online format will methodically guide the student through the textbook, providing goals and additional references that allow for the self-study of pharmacology. the online course substitutes for the lecture by highlighting important areas of pharmacology that need particular attention and helps focus the dental student's time. Be removing the lecture component of the course, the student is allowed to study at times and places of their preference. This allows more flexibility with time, but requires more self-discipline and time management skills from the student. It is not self-paced: Specific chapters and tests must be completed weekly to proceed through the course. Meeting these goals requires more student responsibility than a traditional course. Offered: Spring

Dentistry For The Special Patient
|
|
|
The purpose of this course is to acquaint the student with the dental treatment of three populations of patients who you may encounter in your dental career (and often have trouble finding adequate care). They include patients who are developmentally disabled, the elderly, and the medically-compromised. The course will present management techniques for in-office treatment and appropriate referral of those patients best treated in another setting. This course builds upon the skills and knowledge gained in previous courses in many disciplines, to provide an interdisciplinary experience with special patient populations. A required rotation at the Regional Center for the Developmentally Disabled gives practical experience to topics covered in lecture.
