Students also will receive basic information about alternative techniques of pain and anxiety control, such as oral sedation, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, general anesthesia, and acupuncture, as well as prescription writing, including consideration of the impact of prescribing practices and substance use disorders. Additionally, students will participate in a local anesthesia techniques lab seminar that will prepare them to successfully administer local anesthetic in a live-patient format. In a small group design, students will alternate being the operator, the patient, and the observer assistant. Each student will demonstrate competency in technical aspects of local anesthetic administration and in applying pharmacological principles to the selection of local anesthetics and pain management. CDM 3040—Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery II This didactic, lecture-oriented course expands upon the background begun in the second semester of the second year. Formal presentations to review major trauma, craniofacial conditions, TMJ disorders, head and neck pathology such as oral cancer treatment and reconstruction, systemic conditions that affect head and neck, and complications will be incorporated logically.

CDM 3507—Clinical Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery I Rotation This course introduces the student to clinical oral and maxillofacial surgery, which includes patient evaluation, diagnosis, treatment planning, and routine oral surgery procedures commonly employed in general dental practice. Didactic content learned in CDM 2040, 2150, 2170, and 3040 related to patient assessment, need for anesthesia, pain control, minor oral surgery, and other topics are applied in the provision of direct patient care. Students are assigned to clinical rotation to assist residents and classmates, to observe, and to provide surgical treatment for patients requiring dentoalveolar surgery and management of odontogenic infections. Proficiency in patient evaluation and surgical techniques is stressed. CDM 4505—Clinical Dental Urgent Care Rotation The third- and fourth-year student will develop a systematic approach for evaluating a patient who presents with urgent dental or oral health concerns, acute pain, trauma, bleeding, infection, or swelling of the orofacial region. The student will complete a work-up of the patient’s chief complaint; establish a diagnosis; present an emergency treatment plan and options; and, with patient-informed-consent, provide the treatment or an appropriate referral. Students on rotation will participate in a grand-rounds summary at the close of each session to review specific patients and techniques. CDM 4507—Clinical Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Rotation Fourth-year students are assigned to clinical rotations to observe and to provide surgical treatment for patients requiring dentoalveolar surgery and the management of odontogenic infections.
