Taken after completion of credit requirements
Foundation
of Oral Biology. 4cr.
This multidisciplinary course presents the essential in-depth biological
science background of the basic sciences as they relate to dentistry.
It is a two semester course which includes units in Ethics, Research Methods
& Biostatistics, Head and Neck Anatomy, Inflammation/Immunology, Microbiology,
Pain/Neurosciences Oral Physiology , Pathobiology, and Craniofacial Growth
and Development. Prerequisites: None. Fall/Spring Semesters
Advanced
Biomedical Science for Dentistry, 4cr
This course continues the presentation of a background of basic sciences
as they relate to dentistry with more emphasis on applications in the
clinical setting. It is a two semester course which includes units in
Ethics, Clinical Pharmacology and Theraputics, Genetics, Social Sciences
in Dentistry, Radiation Biology, Pain/Neurosciences/Oral Physiology, nutrition,
Oral Pathology, and Biology of Mineralized Tissues. Prerequisites:Foundation
of Oral Biology Fall/Spring Semesters
Metallic
Systems in Dental Biomaterials Sciences. 2cr.
This course will focus on the general structural configuration of metallic
. Emphasis will be on the types of bonds, crystallography of metallic
materials and their unique properties. Mechanical behavior and microscopic
and microstructural characteristics of metallic materials will be discussed
in terms of phase diagrams and phase transition. Typical dental alloy
systems will be discussed. Fall/Spring semesters.
Polymeric
Systems in Biomaterials Sciences. 2cr.
This course will focus on the basic concepts and empirical rules involved
in the conversion of a small molecule into a macromolecule in terms of
bonding forces, molecular size and molecular weight. Application of polymer
sciences to dentistry, general requirements of a polymeric material for
use as a denture base, impression material, composite filling material
and dentin bonding agents will be discussed. Fall/Spring semesters.
Introduction
to Scanning Electron Microscopy. 2cr.
This is a lecture and laboratory course to familiarize the student with
the operation of a scanning electron microscope and the principles of
interpretation of the image. The topics covered include, but are not limited
to, sample preparation, optimization of the microscope operating conditions,
factors such as aberrations and astigmatism that limit the probe definition,
description of the interactions between the probe and the specimen including
elastically and inelastically generated signals, illustration of the working
distance, specimen tilting, detector selection and location and other
conditions to be used to optimize image, the effect of working distance
on the resolution and depth of focus, description of different types of
signals (e.g., secondary electrons, backscattered electrons, etc.) and
their detectors, the differences between the images using the different
signals and other related topics. To be arranged.
