College of Dental Medicine—Postdoctoral Programs 515 CDM 6250—Advanced Clinical Periodontics VI This course is designed to offer clinical instruction in the treatment and patient management of complex cases in conjunction with other disciplines. (9 credits) Postdoctoral Prosthodontics The 36-month postdoctoral program combines clinical experience with didactic instruction leading to a Certificate in Prosthodontics. Students may also elect a course of study leading to a master’s degree program. The certificate program satisfies the formal training requirements for eligibility for the American Board of Prosthodontics examination, and students are encouraged to pursue board certification. The program is fully accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation. The didactic portion of the program includes a core curriculum designed to provide all postdoctoral students with a basic interdisciplinary education and a prosthodontics curriculum based on the review of classic and current dental literature, interdisciplinary seminars, and treatment planning presentations. The program also includes research, teaching, and continuing education courses by visiting faculty members. The clinical portion of the program consists of extensive patient care within the different treatment modalities in prosthodontics (fixed, removable, and implant) and exposure to patients suffering from TMD or sleep-related disorders. It also encompasses the surgical placement of implants, as well as laboratory work supported by state-of-the-art technology and dental materials. In addition to the postdoctoral core courses offered during the first year of the program, all postdoctoral prosthodontics residents are required to take the following courses: CDM 7300—Advanced Prosthodontics Course This course is designed to standardize and elevate the first-year, advanced prosthodontics resident’s clinical and laboratory knowledge in Fixed Prosthodontics, Removable Prosthodontics, and Implant Dentistry. Techniques and skills required at a laboratory level to prepare and fabricate diagnostic wax-ups, single crowns, fixed partial dentures, and provisional restorations will be covered. In addition, demonstrations and hands-on training are to be provided in the simulation laboratory on teeth preparations for indirect and direct restorations and electrosurgery techniques for tissue management. This course will also encompass clinical and laboratory knowledge in Removable Prosthodontics, including complete dentures, immediate dentures, and interim and definitive partial dentures. An introduction to Implant Prosthodontics is provided as a part of this course. (5 credits) CDM 5001—Advanced Dental Materials This is an advanced course covering dental materials science, test methods, properties of dental materials, and clinical applications. (2 credits) CDM 7000—Advanced Didactic Prosthodontics I This course offers didactic instruction related to the diagnosis and treatment of the advanced prosthodontic patient. Residents will review the classic and current literature related to fixed, removable, and implant prosthodontics. Articles are selected and discussed among the residents and faculty members. Residents will learn to analyze, summarize, and apply the literature to their clinical practice. Ultimately, residents will learn how to elaborate comprehensive treatment plans based on evidence-based dentistry. (5 credits) CDM 6090—Advanced Clinical Prosthodontics I This course focuses on the clinical aspect of prosthodontics, including fixed, removable, and dental implant-related therapies. Residents provide comprehensive therapy beginning with the complete examination, diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment of patients with advanced prosthetic needs. (4 credits) CDM 7100—Advanced Didactic Prosthodontics II This course offers didactic instruction related to diagnosis and treatment of advanced prosthodontic cases. Residents will be able to demonstrate integration of fixed, removable, and implant dentistry in comprehensive diagnosis and treatment planning. Residents will also review the classic and current literature related to advanced prosthodontics. Articles are selected and discussed among the residents and faculty members. Residents will learn to analyze and apply the literature to their clinical practice. Case presentations involving multidisciplinary patient care will integrate concepts in the comprehensive understanding and planning of advanced cases. (5 credits) CDM 6190—Advanced Clinical Prosthodontics II This course focuses on the clinical aspect of prosthodontics, including fixed, removable, and dental implant-related therapies. Residents provide comprehensive therapy beginning with the complete examination, diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment of patients with advanced prosthetic needs. In addition, residents will start developing clinical skills relating to implant dentistry, including the placement and maintenance of dental implants. (4 credits) CDM 7020—Advanced Didactic Prosthodontics III Residents will continue to review all the concepts related to diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning of the prosthodontic patient in areas of fixed, removable, and implant prosthetics. This didactic course will also offer instructions
