Advanced Pediatric Dentistry

The advanced pediatric dentistry certificate program is a 24-month course of study designed to provide students with the background information and clinical experience necessary for the practice of pediatric dentistry. Opportunities are also available for students interested in academic careers to engage in research and teacher-training activities. The program in pediatric dentistry is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. The program also meets the educational requirements of the American Board of Pedodontics.

First year studies emphasize advanced pediatric dentistry theory and clinical treatment of the normal child. Students develop a sound basis in genetics, growth and development, behavior management, physical evaluation, hospital dentistry, anesthesiology, research methodology, statistics, conscious sedation, orthodontics, prevention, pediatric dental literature and so on. Second year studies concentrate on dental care of children with physical, mental or emotional disorders. Over half of the students' time is spent as dental residents at Childrens Hospital and/or Rancho Los Amigos Hospital. Students are exposed to operating room procedures, general anesthesia techniques, conscious sedation and medical disabilities and pathologies.

In addition to the two-year program, the advanced pediatric dentistry program offers a 36-month program directed toward training for certification in advanced pediatric dentistry and a Master of Science degree in Craniofacial Biology.

The purpose of this program is to prepare highly qualified specialists in pediatric dentistry who can assume leadership positions in dental education, service to the community, dental research and dental care for the developmentally disabled, medically compromised or handicapped. The structured curriculum of this three-year program offers a strong didactic component in basic

biological science and in clinical sciences as well as intensive clinical dental care to infants, children, adolescents or individuals who are developmentally disabled, medically compromised or handicapped.

Interaction with medical and non-medical professionals, with patients, hospitals and the community is experienced through interdisciplinary training that consists of clinical evaluations and treatment of the physical, mental, social and educational problems of patients. Newer knowledge is acquired by conducting an original supervised research thesis project. This project is then presented to the faculty and at other professional meetings and/or in publication.

Academic and clinical performance is continuously monitored and recorded.

An individual who elects to apply to the combined program in Craniofacial Biology and Advanced Pediatric Dentistry would submit a simultaneous application to the School of Dentistry and the Graduate School. See the Craniofacial Biology section of this catalogue for further information. The first year of the program would be spent in craniofacial biology and the second and third years spent in the Pediatric Dentistry Program. After successful completion of the Craniofacial Biology Program the student would be reviewed by the Pediatric Dentistry Admissions Committee and admitted into the certificate program. The student must satisfactorily complete the Master of Science Program to be eligible for the Pediatric Dentistry Program.

Advanced Periodontology

The advanced periodontology program offers two options: (1) a 36-month, 180 unit course of study leading to a certificate in periodontology, or (2) a dual 36-month, 183-unit program leading to both a certificate and a Master of Science in Craniofacial Biology. The program in periodontology is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation, and the United States Department of Education. The program also meets the educational requirements of the American Board of Periodontology.

The curriculum provides a sound foundation in those basic sciences and medical subjects which apply directly to clinical periodontics. Emphasis is placed on the interaction of periodontics with other specialties and general dentistry. The central theme of the curriculum is that periodontology is the science basis to all of clinical dentistry.

The program is structured to produce skilled periodontists with the technical and scientific abilities to provide periodontal services to the community and to prepare students for teaching careers. This program also provides a portion of the requirements necessary for an advanced degree in a basic science.

A core oral biology curriculum combined with fundamentals of physical diagnosis, anatomy, pathology, microbiology, research interpretation and design, and pharmacology constitute the biological foundation upon which the advanced postdoctoral student builds his or her skills. The program provides knowledge and clinical expertise in all types of periodontal treatments required for the practice of oral health care including the placement and care of implants. Clinical experience in pharmacosedation and treatment of special care patients is available for those who are interested in these fields.

The program faculty believe that graduates should be dedicated to the concept of being a continuous student and should contribute to periodontics and to dentistry by practice, education, publication and/or research.

Advanced Prosthodontics

The program in advanced prosthodontics is a 24-month course of study designed to teach didactic and clinical skills leading to competency in the specialized practice of prosthodontics. The program provides a basic science foundation for clinical and technical skills, incorporating studies in physical diagnosis, anatomy, oral pathology, pharmacology and oral biology. Since proficiency in all elements of prosthodontics is required, equal emphasis is placed on fixed and removable prosthodontics. Periodontally compromised patients are frequently encountered, so the program is allied with the advanced program in periodontics and integrated patient care is stressed.

A research methodology course and a research project are required. Technical skills essential to prosthodontics are basic to specialty practice and this aspect is emphasized. Clinical experience in implant and didactic study in maxillofacial prosthetics are offered: students who want more experience in clinical care may devote more time to treating these patients. The program in advanced prosthodontics is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation, a special accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and the United States Department of Education. The program also meets the requirements of the American Board of Prosthodontics. A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the program.
