College of Dental Medicine 497 including progressive muscle relaxation, systematic desensitization, biofeedback, hypnosis, and the relationship of anxiety/stress to pain syndromes. Department of Endodontics—Interim Chair, Postgraduate Program Director, and Assistant Professor: Y. Benjamin | Associate Postgraduate Program Director and Associate Professor: C. Mendez | Predoctoral Clinical Co-Director and Associate Professor: V. Manjarres | Predoctoral Clinical Co-Director and Assistant Professor: C. Bonilla | Associate Professor: J. Zeim | Assistant Professors: C. Navarrete, D. Schuldt | Adjunct Faculty Members: R. Al-hashimi, I. Epelman, I. Moldauer, K. Namerow, M. Neira, J. Schapiro, R. Seltzer, J. Silberman CDM 2050—Endodontics—Basic Principles and Formative Concepts This lecture course is an introduction to the theory and practice of concepts within the scope of endodontic practice. Presented are the fundamental principles of diagnosis along with pulpal and periapical disease processes that highlight a supportive rationale for treatment procedures. Coupled with CDM 2060, this formative knowledge prepares the predoctoral student for the provision of basic clinical endodontic procedures. CDM 2060—Endodontic Laboratory This laboratory course provides guidance and experience in the provision of procedures designed to manage pulp and periapical disease. Procedures will be performed on realistic tooth models that reflect the range of anatomy found in the human dentition. Coupled with CDM 2050, the student is prepared to perform appropriate clinical procedures that support tooth retention in symptom-free function for the patient. CDM 2250—Endodontic Clinical Lecture This course enhances the formative knowledge and understanding of the key concepts in the provision of endodontic procedures for the predoctoral student. Within this spectrum, predoctoral students are also instructed on how to recognize clinical situations that are beyond their skills and scope of procedural applications. In doing so, the reason and rationale for referral to expert sources are emphasized. CDM 3621—Clinical Endodontic Practice I D3 predoctoral students are taught the application of clinical procedures in the management of single-root and multirooted teeth. Diagnosis is emphasized, in addition to the proper sequencing of treatment procedures in alignment with the established treatment plan, along with procedural record documentation and patient education and management. CDM 4621—Clinical Endodontic Practice II D4 predoctoral students are guided in the application of anesthetic techniques, pain control, patient management, emergency procedures, and endodontic procedural applications in a wide range of anatomical situations. Competency in the provision of all treatment procedures, including patient management, is expected to be demonstrated prior to graduation. This will be done through the use of verbal, written, and practical summative evaluations. CDM 400H—Endodontic Honors Program The honors program in endodontics is offered to D4 predoctoral students, in addition to the other specialty programs. Candidate selection is based on approval of the associate dean for academic affairs and the director of clinics, as well as the specific criteria established in each department that offers this program. Honors students will be afforded the opportunity to assist in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and provision of care in complex cases. Each department will provide the aspiring predoctoral students with course outlines and educational objectives that will enhance their levels of competency in the provision of patient care. CDM 403E—Elective Program in Endodontics The elective program provides D4 predoctoral students with experiences at an advanced level, in both formative knowledge and potential clinical applications. Students will be provided with the opportunity to attend postdoctorallevel seminars and to prepare special programs that may encompass visual presentations, poster presentations, and table clinic presentations, in addition to the development of publishable manuscripts. Department of Maxillofacial Medicine—Interim Chair and Associate Professor: L. Solomon | Associate Professors: M. Hogge, L. Mejia | Assistant Professors: P. Barros, M. Mora | Adjunct Faculty Members: J. Arenas, V. De Weijer, M. Ferreira, H. Gonzalez, L. Haller, S. Mescher, O. Montoya, M. Romer, D. Stern CDM 1130—Histology In this didactic (lecture-based) course, the microscopic anatomy of cells, tissues, and select organs of the body are all presented and correlated with their functions. Basic physiologic concepts needed to understand and apply pathology in future courses of the curriculum are presented. This course provides broad exposure to the basic embryologic development and histology of anatomic structures that form the maxillofacial complex, with an emphasis on weeks one through eight. Clinical and diagnostic procedures that depend on the understanding of these structures will be introduced. CDM 2110—Radiology I The fundamentals of X-ray generation physics, radiographic image production, radiographic techniques, biological effects of radiation and radiation hygiene, and practice protection principles are presented.
