The in­struc­tor serves as a group fa­cil­i­ta­tor who as­sists the stu­dent in de­vel­op­ing an ap­pre­ci­a­tion for the con­cepts, top­ics and pro­ce­dures re­lated to the clin­i­cal ex­pe­ri­ence and in in­te­grat­ing the ma­te­r­ial into the prac­tice of clin­i­cal oral hy­giene.

Advanced didactic material and clinical experience. The instructor serves as a group facilitator who assists the student in developing an appreciation for the concepts, topics and procedures related to the clinical experience and in integrating the material into the practice of clinical oral hygiene.

The study of sources, phys­i­cal and chem­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics of ma­te­ri­als used in den­tistry. To ac­quaint the stu­dent with the chem­i­cal and phys­i­cal prop­er­ties of those den­tal ma­te­ri­als and de­vices which are most com­monly used in den­tal prac­tice. Em­pha­sis is placed on how such prop­er­ties may af­fect the care and ma­nip­u­la­tion of those ma­te­ri­als and de­vices. To un­der­stand the prop­er­ties of ma­te­ri­als as they re­late to the proper use of or the care and main­te­nance of these ma­te­ri­als, when pro­vid­ing den­tal hy­giene care. The Den­tal Hy­gien­ist role in the rec­om­mended use of den­tal ma­te­ri­als, as well as, the care and main­te­nance are stressed through­out the di­dac­tic and lab­o­ra­tory com­po­nents of this course. The lab­o­ra­tory ex­er­cises sched­uled in this course com­ple­ment the di­dac­tic lec­ture and offer the stu­dent clin­i­cal and lab­o­ra­tory ex­pe­ri­ence in the ma­nip­u­la­tion and ap­pli­ca­tion of den­tal ma­te­ri­als com­monly used in op­er­a­tive, restora­tive, and pre­ven­ta­tive pro­ce­dures.

The study of sources, physical and chemical characteristics of materials used in dentistry. To acquaint the student with the chemical and physical properties of those dental materials and devices which are most commonly used in dental practice. Emphasis is placed on how such properties may affect the care and manipulation of those materials and devices. To understand the properties of materials as they relate to the proper use of or the care and maintenance of these materials, when providing dental hygiene care. The Dental Hygienist role in the recommended use of dental materials, as well as, the care and maintenance are stressed throughout the didactic and laboratory components of this course. The laboratory exercises scheduled in this course complement the didactic lecture and offer the student clinical and laboratory experience in the manipulation and application of dental materials commonly used in operative, restorative, and preventative procedures.
