Restorative Dentistry home | Mission | Curriculum | Course Descriptions | Admission | Faculty & Facility

Completion of this program will prepare residents to:

1. Act as a primary care provider for patients that have extended oral health
   care needs.  Residents will be responsible for management of all medical and
   dental specialty referrals, development and presentation of multidisciplinary treatment
   plans and monitoring of preventive maintenance programs after completion of the
   rehabilitative phase of treatment.
2. Complete treatment and restoration of oral health in patients with severely
   compromised dentitions.  Treatment involving such extended factors as orthognathic
   surgery, orthodontic therapy, re-establishment of an occlusal plane, periodontal
   prosthesis and esthetic reconstruction will be primary areas of focus as cases are available.
3. Understand the basis for treatment considerations to a depth that can be used as a base for
   teaching clinical general dentistry.
4. Organize and conduct a comprehensive literature review and implement a clinical or applied
   research project, from protocol development to pre-publication manuscript.
