NSU HPD Catalog 2023-2024

College of Dental Medicine 503 some of the causes of stress in health care professions that these students must manage. CDM 1203—Evidence-Based Dentistry I Students will be introduced to the fundamentals of evidencebased dentistry (EBD) and study design. This will include introductory information on EBD and online computer searches for scientific information. Students will learn how to use the main EBD websites and clinical query searches on PubMed. Online databases and search strategies will be presented. Clinical research designs such as case-control, case series, case report, cohort studies, and randomized controlled trial will be introduced. Concepts of study design, research methods, and literature review will be emphasized and critically compared. CDM 2070/CDM 2080—Fixed Prosthodontics Lecture/Laboratory I These courses prepare students to appropriately use the terminology, instrumentation, and psychomotor skills associated with tooth preparation and provisionalization of single and multiple unit intra and extra coronal cast fixed prosthodontic restorations. CDM 2095—Preclinical Removable Prosthodontics Lecture I This course is designed to familiarize students with all the aspects of the discipline of removable prosthodontics— theoretical, technical, and clinical—so they will be prepared to confidently and accurately provide removable prosthodontic treatment for the complete or partially edentulous patient in clinical practice. This course, in conjunction with the laboratory course, will provide the foundation of clinical removable prosthodontics. CDM 2096—Preclinical Removable Prosthodontics Laboratory I This laboratory course provides a simulated experience of using removable partial dentures and removable complete dentures to replace lost teeth and their associated structures. This course is designed to familiarize students with all the aspects of the discipline of removable prosthodontics—theoretical, technical, and clinical—so they will be prepared to confidently and accurately provide removable prosthodontic treatment for the complete or partially edentulous patient in clinical practice. CDM 2101—Dental Biomaterials Lecture At the end of this course, the students will be able to understand the optimum performance requirements, properties, and handling characteristics for specific dental materials, as well as understand the selection criteria based on clinical significance of the mechanical and physical properties of dental materials. CDM 2197—Preclinical Removable Prosthodontics Lecture II This lecture course presents theory and technique for using removable partial dentures and removable complete dentures to replace lost teeth and their associated structures. This course is designed to familiarize students with all the aspects of the discipline of removable prosthodontics—theoretical, technical, and clinical—so they will be prepared to confidently and accurately provide removable prosthodontic treatment for the complete or partially edentulous patient in clinical practice. This course, in conjunction with the laboratory course, will provide the foundation of clinical removable prosthodontics. CDM 2198—Preclinical Removable Prosthodontics Laboratory II This laboratory course provides a simulated experience of using removable partial dentures and removable complete dentures to replace lost teeth and their associated structures. As a continuation of Preclinical Removable Prosthodontics Laboratory I from the previous semester, it includes simulated clinical and laboratory exercises to provide the foundation of clinical removable prosthodontics. CDM 2260/CDM 2270—Fixed Prosthodontics Lecture/Laboratory II The lecture course presents theory and technique of anterior and posterior fixed partial dentures, porcelain application, and treatment of endodontically treated teeth as they relate to the overall restorative treatment of the patient. This course, in conjunction with the laboratory course, provides the foundation for the student to use the same knowledge and techniques that will be used in clinical application. CDM 2995—Clinical Practice of Dentistry Fundamentals This combined lecture and laboratory course is an integrated program that includes objectives from the following disciplines: oral diagnosis, oral medicine, dental anatomy, fundamentals of occlusion, operative dentistry, dental biomaterials, cariology, endodontics, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics and fixed prosthodontics, OMFS, and use of the EHR system. The clinical practice of dentistry program builds on the foundational knowledge learned in the D1 and D2 curriculum in order to prepare students for a comprehensive care competency-based clinical program. The course focuses on the application of the learning objectives obtained throughout the D1 and D2 curriculum. The student will be presented with de-identified patient cases and will be expected to prepare comprehensive treatment plans for the cases, as well as perform some of the necessary procedures in the simulation laboratory on typodonts.
