DHYG 412 Dental Hygiene Theory and Practice V10 credits
This combined lecture and clinical course continues from the first year Dental Hygiene Theory and Practice courses. The scope of practice increases to include patients with a higher degree of difficulty and periodontal involvement. Advanced instrumentation techniques are incorporated into clinical care, and an increased level of independence and sophistication is demonstrated. Students interpret and synthesize information gathered from dental hygiene exams and risk assessments to plan and prioritize patient centered, comprehensive care. Restorative procedures are integrated into clinic and performed side-by-side with dental assisting students. The weekly lecture seminar includes didactic theory applicable to a more advanced level of clinical practice and provides an opportunity for clinical questions and class discussions.
