DHG200 is an integrated lecture laboratory course that introduces students to the dental laboratory environment. DHG200 focuses on the nature, qualities, composition, and manipulation of materials used in dentistry. The primary goal of this course is to enhance the student ‘s ability to make clinical judgments regarding the use and care of dental materials based on how these materials react in the oral environment. Lecture topics include dental material standards, dental material properties, and impression materials. Classifications for restorative dentistry, direct restorative materials, indirect restorative materials, removable dental prostheses, sealants, and implants are also covered in this course. Students will have hands- on laboratory experience in the proper manipulation of dental materials commonly employed in dentistry.
