7 courses with the subject ASDD, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
ASDD 30501 Biomedical Integration & Critical Thinking I – This D1 course integrates the biomedical1
sciences with the clinical sciences. Case based scenarios are used that require students to correlate the various connections between the foundational biomedical sciences and clinical practice. Additional content is added each semester as the students gain additional knowledge.
ASDD 40001 Integrated National Board Dental Examination Review II (INBDE Review II) – This course is1
designed to provide D2 year dental students with a review of high yield concepts as it relates to the Integrated National Board Dental Examination. The areas discussed include restorative dentistry (prosthodontics and operative dentistry), oral diagnosis (oral radiology and oral pathology), endodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, patient management (public health, behavioral management, and research), oral surgery, periodontics, and pharmacology.
ASDD 40501 Biomedical Integration & Critical Thinking II – This course is offered to the D2 class and1
also integrates the biomedical sciences with clinical sciences. Case-based scenarios are again used, with more content being added from the clinical sciences as they gain information from the pre-clinical courses. Behavioral sciences also begin to be integrated during this course.
ASDD 50301 Integrated National Board Dental Examination Review III (INBDE Review III) – This course is1
designed to provide D3 year dental students with a review of high yield concepts as it relates to the Integrated National Board Dental Examination. The areas discussed include restorative dentistry (prosthodontics and operative dentistry), oral diagnosis (oral radiology and oral pathology), endodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, patient management (public health, behavioral management, and research), oral surgery, periodontics, and pharmacology.
ASDD 50501 Biomedical Integration & Critical Thinking III – In addition to the preceding courses, this1
D3 seminar requires the students to proceed more in-depth when reviewing the clinical cases since they have completed all of their didactic biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. This format also assists the students in preparing for case-based questions on the Integrated National Board Dental Examination.
ASDD 53301 Comprehensive Pre-Clinical Dentistry - The purpose of this course is to provide a fast-track
intensive preclinical course designed to calibrate the International trained Dentist enrolled to ensure that they may safely begin patient care that meets the standard of oral health care in the United State, CODA-accredited institutions. This course includes restorative dentistry, complete and removable prosthodontics, esthetic dentistry, oral radiology, oral surgery, diagnostic radiology, pediatric dentistry, endodontics and medical emergencies. (15 credit hours). Additionally, International Track participants must complete didactic and clinical courses offered within the traditional MMCSOD curriculum. Didactic International Track Courses: During the ID3 year (first year of the program), these courses include: Regional Licensure I (ASDD 531-01), Biomedical Integration & Critical Thinking III (ASDD 505-01), Introduction to Lifelong Learning III (ASDD 511-01), Geriatric Dentistry (PDNT 561-01), Hospital Dentistry (HOSD 521-01), and Comprehensive Treatment Planning Seminar (ORDG 593-01). During the ID4 year (second year of the program), these courses include: Regional Licensure II (ASDD 631-01), Biomedical Integration & Critical Thinking IV (ASDD 605-01), Introduction to Lifelong Learning IV (ASDD 612-01), CPR (ORSG 692-01), and Comprehensive Treatment Planning Council (ORDG 693-01). Clinical International Track Courses: Students must be enrolled in all clinical courses during both the ID3 and ID4 year. These courses include Endodontics Clinic (EDPR 700-01), Oral Diagnostic Sciences Clinic (ORDG 700-01), Operative Dentistry Clinic (OPDN 700-01), Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic (ORSG 700-01), Orthodontics Clinic (ORTH 700-01), Pediatric Dentistry Clinic (PEDN 700-01), Periodontics Clinic (EDPR 701-01), and Prosthodontics Clinic (PROS 700-01), and Final Clinical Competency Exam (ASDD 615-01).
ASDD 60501 Biomedical Integration & Critical Thinking IV – In addition to the preceding courses, this1
D4 seminar requires the students to proceed more in-depth when reviewing the clinical cases since they have completed all of their didactic biomedical, behavioral and clinical sciences. This format is designed to provide a comprehensive summary of all sciences as it relates to direct patient care and other clinical cases. MICR 302-01 - Microbiology – This course is required for students enrolled in the School of Dentistry. It is presented with special emphasis on its relation to dental pathology and dental practice. Laboratory exercises are designed to supplement the didactic aspects of the course and to acquaint the student with the basic techniques involved in the isolation and identification of pathogenic organisms. Principles of sterilization, disinfection, immunity antibiosis and transmission of disease are stressed both as separate entities and in their applied aspects throughout the course. The course is offered during the first (fall) semester of the D1 year. (5 Credit hours)
