Emphasis will be on integrating therapeutic oral health services with prevention and implementation of instrumentation at a higher skill level. Students will be scheduled at the Dental Center and at an extramural assignment in a variety of dental settings in the greater Boston area. Transportation to the extramural site is the responsibility of the student. Students are responsible for patient recruitment when the clinic office does not schedule patients for them.
