496 College of Dental Medicine CDM 1050 and CDM 1051—Ethics and Professionalism These courses will provide students with an awareness of the ethical issues in the dental profession and expected behavior at the College of Dental Medicine. In addition, students will develop an understanding of the impact of various ethical issues and communication skills in dental education and clinical practice. The content in these courses will be integrated with the content in Clinic Experience I and II and Multidisciplinary Introduction to Record Keeping. (2 credits/2 credits) CDM 1155—Integrated Restorative Dental Sciences I Lecture The IRDS I lecture course is an integrated program that includes objectives from the following disciplines: dental anatomy, fundamentals of occlusion, biomaterials, cariology, and operative dentistry. This course presents the anatomical and functional differences of teeth, how they relate to each other, and the application of this knowledge to various phases of dentistry. It presents the characteristics differentiating each tooth and the variations that can occur from one patient to the next. The course will introduce concepts of anatomy and normal function of the stomatognathic system. While learning about the medical model of caries management, students will be introduced to dental caries: disease, diagnosis, preventive and remineralization treatments, prognosis, and outcomes. Understanding the role of caries risk assessment in restorative decisions, students will apply principles of minimally invasive dentistry. Students will learn about digital dentistry, material selection, preparation design, and restoration. The IRDS course integrates the principles from these disciplines in order to prepare students for a comprehensive-care, competency-based, clinical curriculum. (5 credits) CDM 1156—Integrated Restorative Dental Sciences Laboratory I The IRDS I laboratory course is an integrated, hands-on program that runs concurrently with the lecture component and includes objectives from the following disciplines: dental anatomy, fundamentals of occlusion, dental biomaterials, cariology, and operative dentistry. This course presents the anatomical and functional differences of teeth, how they relate to each other, and the application of this knowledge to various phases of dentistry. It presents the characteristics differentiating each tooth and the variations that can occur from one patient to the next. The course will introduce concepts of anatomy and normal function of the stomatognathic system. Utilization of wax carving and add-on techniques are introduced. With an understanding of the role of caries risk assessment in restorative decisions and knowledge of the mechanical and physical properties of the dental materials, students will learn principles of cavity preparation; material selection; and proper use of bonding systems and composite resin, alginate, and gypsum. The IRDS I laboratory course integrates the principles from these disciplines in order to prepare students for a comprehensive-care, competencybased, clinical curriculum. Emphasis will be placed on teaching students how to develop the fine psychomotor skills that are necessary to practice dentistry. (5 credits) CDM 1205—Primary Care and Public Health I This course will introduce students to fundamentals of public health and its relevance in dentistry. Health care delivery systems, as well as oral health status and disparities across the population, will be discussed. Students will be instructed on legal and ethical principles applied to public health. In addition, students will be given the opportunity to develop their own strategic plan involving a dental health initiative. (2 credits) CDM 1255—Integrated Restorative Dental Sciences Lecture II The IRDS II course is an integrated program that includes objectives from the following disciplines: dental anatomy, fundamentals of occlusion, operative dentistry, dental biomaterials, cariology, and fixed prosthodontics. The course will continue building on concepts of anatomy and normal function of the stomatognathic system. While applying cariology principles, students learn about dental biomaterials; material selection; preparation; design; and proper use of amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomers, and casting metals (gold, etc.). This course will introduce the theory and principles of fixed prosthodontics, and its role in the overall treatment of the patient. The IRDS course integrates the principles from these disciplines in order to prepare students for a comprehensive-care, competency-based, clinical curriculum. (4 credits) CDM 1266—Integrated Restorative Dental Sciences Laboratory II The IRDS II laboratory course is an integrated, hands-on, simulation program and a continuation of the IRDS I laboratory course. It runs concurrently with the lecture component and includes objectives from the following disciplines: dental anatomy, fundamentals of occlusion, operative dentistry, dental biomaterials, cariology, and fixed prosthodontics. The IRDS course integrates the principles from these disciplines in order to prepare students for a comprehensive-care, competency-based, clinical curriculum. (4 credits) CDM 1357—Case-Based Integrated Restorative Sciences III The IRDS III course is a continuation of the fall and winter IRDS courses with the introduction of new concepts in Advanced Operative Dentistry and Restorative Boards preparations. Course content from dental anatomy, fundamentals of occlusion, operative dentistry, dental biomaterials, cariology, prosthodontics, and record keeping are integrated into a casebased format utilizing knowledge and critical thinking skills obtained in the fall and winter semesters.
