Practice management and ethical issues in treatment planning will also be discussed during the course. Students will have the opportunity to interact with faculty members and other classmates during patient case-based group discussions and seminars. (1 credit) CDM 3500—Clinical Restorative Dentistry II Under direct supervision of faculty members, in a team leader model, the student will incorporate the knowledge gained from didactic courses to provide comprehensive patient care. Following the medical model of caries management and principles of minimally invasive dentistry, the student will provide clinical services and dental restorations for patients using caries risk assessment, diagnosis, prevention, oral hygiene instruction, fluoride, sealants, laser diagnosis, remineralization techniques, tooth whitening procedures amalgam, resin composites, and glass ionomers. In addition to developing the student’s skills in performing evidencebased restorative procedures, the overlying objectives of this course are restoration to health of the dental patient and the prevention of future dental caries for the patient.
