DH204

Second-year students will continue alternating between extramural assignments in a variety of dental settings in the greater Boston area and the Dental Center. The senior student will demonstrate the ability to synthesize and conceptualize all knowledge, theory and clinical skills previously learned to provide care at the advanced skill level IV, an entry-level (or above) proficiency required of a licensed dental hygienist. The students will treat more difficult periodontal case types utilizing advanced instrumentation and fulcrums. 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. Pre-requisite: DH 203, DH 213, and DH 215
