DEN 1217 is a 2-credit course that ful­fills the com­pe­tency re­quire­ments for pe­ri­odon­tics in an as­so­ci­ate de­gree pro­gram. This course will pro­vide a foun­da­tion for the pre­ven­tion and man­age­ment of pe­ri­odon­tal dis­eases within the scope of the den­tal hy­gien­ist prac­tice act. An em­pha­sis on these top­ics will in­clude but not be lim­ited to as­sess­ment, eti­ol­ogy, pathol­ogy, histopathol­ogy, and role of in­flam­ma­tion in pe­ri­odon­tal dis­ease, as well as pe­ri­odon­tal as­sess­ment and clas­si­fi­ca­tions of pe­ri­odon­tal dis­eases. The goals of this course will be the ap­pli­ca­tion of the­ory to the clin­i­cal set­ting, treat­ment modal­i­ties, and ther­a­peu­tic and pre­ven­tive pe­ri­odon­tics in the con­tem­po­rary den­tal hy­giene prac­tice set­ting.

DEN 1217 is a 2-credit course that fulfills the competency requirements for periodontics in an associate degree program. This course will provide a foundation for the prevention and management of periodontal diseases within the scope of the dental hygienist practice act. An emphasis on these topics will include but not be limited to assessment, etiology, pathology, histopathology, and role of inflammation in periodontal disease, as well as periodontal assessment and classifications of periodontal diseases. The goals of this course will be the application of theory to the clinical setting, treatment modalities, and therapeutic and preventive periodontics in the contemporary dental hygiene practice setting.

DEN 1100/1100L is an in­tro­duc­tion to the di­dac­tic con­cepts and clin­i­cal tech­niques and prin­ci­ples in­volved in the prac­tice of den­tal hy­giene. Em­pha­sis is on the prin­ci­ples of op­ti­mal pa­tient care in­volv­ing: asep­tic tech­niques, pa­tient as­sess­ment, per­sonal oral hy­giene and plaque con­trol, fun­da­men­tals of in­stru­men­ta­tion and re­lated body me­chan­ics, prin­ci­ples of in­stru­ment sharp­en­ing, and emerg­ing modal­i­ties.
