DHYG422 — Dental Hygiene Theory and Practice VI
11 credits This lecture and clinical course is a continuation from DHYG 412 Dental Hygiene Theory and Practice V . Students demonstrate competence in various procedures as they build on existing knowledge and their clinical skills continue to progress. The focus is expanded to include increasingly advanced periodontal cases. Risk factors related to oral health are assessed and considered in the treatment plan as the dental hygiene process of care continues to be centered on evidence-based modalities with a preventive focus. Restorative procedures are performed side-by-side with dental assisting students and are integrated into the clinical course. Concurrently, the students participate in a weekly lecture seminar integrating clinical theory, values, and ethics.
