The following subjects are covered in depth from both a didactic and a practical clinical experience. The morning lecture is followed by an afternoon of clinical, “hands on” training in our practicing dental office. During their course of study, the students learn the operation of all equipment, instrumentation and materials commonly used in a general dental practice. All students are required to intern over 100 hours, complete numerous clinical procedures, and become CPR and OSHA certified before passing. Details of the students’ extensive clinical training are outlined below:
Dental Theory and Terminology
Dental and Oral Anatomy, tooth identification and numbering system
Instrumentation nomenclature and identification for all aspects of General Dentistry
