Course summary
This program begins in the first quarter of the second year. Initially, the student is introduced to the preventive aspects of dental care in children. Dental caries prevention is especially stressed, including the use of systemic and topical fluorides, occlusal sealant application, and diet modification. Restorative care and appliance therapy for children is also taught with equal emphasis placed upon the technical aspects of treatment and treatment rationale. The development of occlusion from the prenatal period through adolescence is presented, and what constitutes a 'normal' occlusion is described. Students learn to recognize malocclusion, identify the concomitant etiologic factors, and are taught to prevent, intercept, or treat minor problems of the occlusion. The didactic program continues in the third year with emphasis on behavior management in children, orthodontic considerations for the adult patient, and literature review. Clinical sessions in Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry are conducted in the students' second and third years.
