Adolescent: Age 13-17

Geriatric: Age 65 and older

***Students must see at least two patients in each age category listed above.

Case Type I: Permanent or mixed dentition that requires a simple prophylaxis with few deposits or stains. This classification may include one or any combination of the following: 1. Minimal stain 2. Minimal calculus (supra or sub-gingival) 3. No bone loss (1-3mm pocket depth)

Case Type II: Permanent dentition that requires a prophylaxis involving moderate deposits or stain. This classification may include one or any combination with #4.

1. Moderate to heavy amounts of stain 2. Light to moderate amounts of supragingival calculus located on approximately one-half (1/2) of the teeth 3. Subgingival calculus located on less than one-half (1/2) of the teeth 4. Early bone loss (4-5 mm pocket depth)

Case Type III: Permanent dentition that requires a prophylaxis involving moderate periodontitis. This classification may include one or any combination with #3.

1. Moderate amounts of supragingival calculus located on more than one-half (1/2) of the teeth 2. Generalized subgingival calculus involving at least one-half (1/2) of the teeth 3. Moderate to severe bone loss (5-7 mm pocket depth)

Case Type IV: Permanent dentition that requires a prophylaxis involving advanced periodontitis. The classification involves:

1. Heavy amounts of supragingival and subgingival calculus involving more than three-fourths (3/4) of the dentition. 2. Severe bone loss (7mm or greater pocket depth) ***Patient Classifications is posted in the clinic for students referral as well.

Clinic Time Management

7:30 Arrive at clinic (Clinic manager 7:20) 7:45 Station ready 8:00 Seat patient 8:00 – 11:30 Perform tasks 11:30 Student to be signed up for a check 11:45 Patient should be out of clinic 11:45 – 12:00 Ready station for afternoon patient 12:30 Back from lunch 12:45 Station ready 1:00 Seat patient 1:00 – 4:30 Perform tasks 4:30 Student shoud be signed up for a check 4:45 Patient should be out of clinic 4:45 – 5:00 Prepare station & clinic for next day Time management deductions will occur for beginning after 7:30 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. and ending after 12:00 p.m. & 5:00 p.m. (There is a 2 point deduction for every 10 minute student is late.) Clinical competency must also be demonstrated in the following areas: 1. Need and type of radiographs 2. Individualized patient education 3. Nutritional counseling 4. Ultrasonic scaling 5. Scaling/root planning 6. Desensitization 7. Polishing 8. Fluoride 9. Study models (TBD) 10. Sealants The following clinical procedures are required and the specified minimum number of patients that must be evaluated are listed below. A minimum grade of 78% must be earned for each procedure unless noted otherwise.

***Calculus charting will be done on each patient whis is Class II or greater. At the starting check your clinical instructor will assign the quadrant he/she wants you to chart. Once this is completed the instructor will check this area before proceeding to scale the patient.

Sealant Application Evaluation 4 teeth (can be placed on the same patient)

Patient Education To be performed on every patient (at least 2 evaluated)

Ultrasonic Instrumentation Evaluation 2 patients (must be Class II or greater of course) Subgingival Irrigation Each patient with pockets 4mm or greater (2 evaluated) Root Desensitization Evaluation 2 patients Radiographs BW adult 4 FMS adult 2 BW pediatric/mixed dentition 2 Instrumentation Evaluation 4 patients (must be a Class II or greater) Bleach 2 arches

Each student will receive a copy of all clinical forms utilized and specific grading criteria. Failure to complete all

clinical requirements can result in failure rather than an incomplete grade.

*A minimum score of 94% is required for each patient education evaluation.

A minimum score of 78% is required for each radiographic film set. All radiographs must be graded within one

week of taking, by a DMD. Radiographic pathology evaluations and radiographic technique evaluations are

required for all radiographs. You must sign the Radiology sign up sheet once Radiographs are taken. The student

is responsible to get x-rays graded within 1 week of signing up. If not there will be a seven (7) point deduction

for every week your Radiographs are not graded.

**ALL Requirements (Evaluations) are to be completed by 11/17/17

***A student who does not complete all requirements by the end of the semester or who withdraws from the

course will be dropped from the program. No grade of “I” (incomplete) will be given if a student fails to meet all

requirements by the semester’s end. He/She will receive a grade of “E” and will be administratively dropped

from the program.

***There will be no carrying patients over into the Spring semester.

***There will be no Class III patients graded on one quadrant. The patient must be completed. Start finding

them now.

*** Your first Class III patient needs to be completed by September 15th or the student loses one letter grade.

***Your first Clinic period all students will present at 7:30 to approve scrubs. Alterations will be at instructors

discretion. Hair/nails needs to be appropriate at this time as well!!!

Case Reasoning / Supplemental Clinical Activity:

Each student will be asked to participate in periodic case-study reviews and discussion. Students will be required

to review material prior to class and be prepared to discuss and assess treatment planning given a patient history

and other pertinent data.

Each student will complete one case study on patient of their choice, who has a systemic disease. Case Study is

due by October 22nd.

Students will also complete a Dietary Analysis on one patient based on information learned in the previous Spring

semester in Dental Nutrition. This is due by November 6th.

Each student is to keep a log/journal of their patients each day. Remember important things about them. Log

systemic diseases, medicines, etc. I would do this daily, and a good time to do them would be during down time in

clinic. These need to be neat and ledgible. The journals are to be turned in at the end of the semester.

Last minute patients is just what it says “last minute patients.” A patient is only considered such if they are found

the day of the appointment. You may only have three (3) last minute patients.

Also, only four (4) free patients for the second year students.

Final Grade Calculation:

You must earn a 78% or greater average in each of the clinical and lecture components for your final grade to be

calculated as explained below. If your average is less than 78% in either component, the lesser grade of the two

components will be your final grade. In order to continue in the Dental Hygiene Program, a final grade of “C” or

better is required.

Clinical Evaluations: 75%

Case Type I / Pediatric 15%

Case Type II 30%

Case Type III / IV 25%

Radiographs 5%

Evaluations 5%

Inactives 20%

Didactic Evaluations (Lecture) 25%

Activities) Professionalism 100 pts Total 1000 pts

**Evenly distributed per class meeting periods awarded at instructor’s discretion. One hundred points evenly

distributed per class meeting period, discussion board on Bb, case studies Bb, etc.

***Professional Performance Standards sheets will be provide for clinic and lecture for student professional

performance in both. Examples will be attached at the end of this document.

****You must pass at least two of the four exams (including final) with 78% or greater to pass this course. If

student does not pass two exams they will fail the class and therefore be dropped from the Dental Hygiene

program.

Safety Compliance Policies

All dental hygiene students will be required to adhere to all safety compliance policies and procedures in the

classroom, lab, and clinical setting (i.e. criminal background check screenings and substance abuse screenings.)

Attached at the end of this document is more information concerning the safety compliance policies.

Mid-Term Student Conference

This is to be held with each student who is not in good standing in the program one week prior to fall break.

Grading Policy:

A= 94 – 100

B= 86 - 93

C= 78 – 85

D= Less than 78%

Attendance Policy:

Attendance is imperative to succeed in the program and will be documented for each lecture and lab. If you are unable to be in class or lab you must notify the course instructor of the class/ coordinator/ or administrative assistant (Linda). If you are tardy for a lecture or lab, you must gain instructor approval to enter. If you need to leave early, you must notify the course instructor. Any disruption of class by a student regardless of the form of disruption and at the discretion of the instructor may result in dismissal from class and loss of participation points for the day. It is the responsibility of the student to contact both the class instructor and the site proctor by email if you are unable to attend class for any reason. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor or site proctor for any missed assignments. If you are absent on the day of an exam, a grade of “0” will result for that exam unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. A valid excuse is one that is written, dated, and signed by a doctor, lawyer, etc. on office letterhead. Work or regularly scheduled appointments are not deemed acceptable excuses. This goes for guest lecturers as well. Everyone needs to be here regardless of work, etc. Children are not permitted in lectures or labs. If your child is a patient in the clinic he/she may not be left unattended while you are in clinic, lecture, or lab. Cell phones or any other electrical device must be placed in your secured area at your site, or confiscated at the beginning of lecture/clinic. Any abuse of policy may result in a zero. Emergency contact: Linda Daniel x67352/ Jennifer Adams x14791.

Missed Exam Policy:

If a make-up exam is necessary, 5% will be automatically deducted. Make-up exams may be a different exam

and format. Any missed quiz will result in a score of 0 for that quiz. No make-up quizzes will be allowed. Make-up

exams will be given as follows:

Make-up exams will be given within one week of the original exam date.

Students requiring a make-up exam must contact the appropriate instructor at each site in order to schedule

their individual exam. Make-up exam dates and times, within the the make-up weeks, will be assigned to the

student by the instructor. If a student fails to contact an instructor in order to make arrangements for a make-

up exam the student will receive a zero score for the exam.

Late Assignment Policy:

No late assignments will be tolerated. A grade of “0” will be given for any assignments turned in late!

Withdrawal Policy:

A student may withdraw from the class and receive a “W” grade at any time specified by the printed college

guideline. From the last day to drop a course without a grade through mid-term, students, at their discretion, may

Students failing to meet safety compliance standards established by the committee will be dismissed

from the program.
