Rest Sci Dental Materials
  

  • RSDM 5511 - Dental Materials (4 Credit Hours)


    This course takes a pragmatic approach to the study of dental materials and their underlying scientific principles as they relate to clinical dentistry. Materials science theory is coupled with material property knowledge of the three basic restorative components (polymers, ceramics, and metals). These fundamentals provide the student with a sound understanding of properties required of a material in a given clinical situation and the ability to analyze manufacturer claims of a product for suitability in a specific application. The course also helps the students troubleshoot potential clinical problems by differentiating possible technique-related problems from those arising from material selection or composition. The course consists of three parts: seminars, hands-on lab sessions, and small group student presentations. Seminars are 1.5-hour long, and cover one specific topic or area. There are five 2.5-hour hands-on lab sessions, each consisting of five different “experiences” in which students have the opportunity to manipulate materials, discover their unique properties, and understand how these materials are used clinically. There will be five small group student presentations, simulating a flipped classroom environment. Topics for these presentations will come from contemporary issues of clinical interest identified by students, as well as by faculty.
