DEN 2400 pre­sents the di­dac­tic ma­te­r­ial, which cor­re­lates with the clin­i­cal ex­pe­ri­ence, pro­vided in DEN 2400L. The Clin­i­cal Fac­ulty serves as group fa­cil­i­ta­tors who as­sist the stu­dents in de­vel­op­ing an aware­ness of and ap­pre­ci­a­tion for the con­cepts, top­ics, and pro­ce­dures re­lated to the Den­tal Hy­giene pro­fes­sion.

DEN 2400 presents the didactic material, which correlates with the clinical experience, provided in DEN 2400L. The Clinical Faculty serves as group facilitators who assist the students in developing an awareness of and appreciation for the concepts, topics, and procedures related to the Dental Hygiene profession.

The den­tal hy­gien­ist’s role as an ed­u­ca­tor and re­source per­son in the field of pub­lic and com­mu­nity health is ex­am­ined. Field Ex­pe­ri­ence and par­tic­i­pa­tion in den­tal ed­u­ca­tion pro­grams are in­cluded.

The dental hygienist’s role as an educator and resource person in the field of public and community health is examined. Field Experience and participation in dental education programs are included.

DEN 1114 is a fun­da­men­tal course that will as­sist in the de­vel­op­ment of the den­tal hy­giene com­pe­ten­cies. Basic prin­ci­ples of his­tol­ogy and em­bry­ol­ogy are stud­ied with em­pha­sis on tis­sues of the oral cav­ity and con­tigu­ous struc­tures and their clin­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tions in den­tal hy­giene treat­ment. Knowl­edge of the nor­mal tis­sues of the oral cav­ity and sur­round­ing struc­tures is the basis for un­der­stand­ing dis­eases and ab­nor­mal­i­ties that are com­monly en­coun­tered in den­tal hy­giene prac­tice. Also in­cluded is the study of the de­vel­op­ment of the face, oral cav­ity, the tooth and its sur­round­ing struc­tures.

DEN 1114 is a fundamental course that will assist in the development of the dental hygiene competencies. Basic principles of histology and embryology are studied with emphasis on tissues of the oral cavity and contiguous structures and their clinical considerations in dental hygiene treatment. Knowledge of the normal tissues of the oral cavity and surrounding structures is the basis for understanding diseases and abnormalities that are commonly encountered in dental hygiene practice. Also included is the study of the development of the face, oral cavity, the tooth and its surrounding structures.
