study of anatomic structures fundamental to dental specialty training,
principally through prosections and dissections. Emphasis is on functional
(rather than architectural) relationships as they relate to growth,
development, and clinical treatment. Included are lectures on osteology
of the skull, innervation and blood supply of the face, muscles of
facial expression and mastication, and anatomy of the oral cavity.

Place: Dunn |
Credit: 1 |
| This course
provides an overview of the events of human growth and the analytic
approaches used to study growth, particularly from birth to adulthood.
Discussions center around the nature of growth, mechanisms of growth,

Clinical
Specialty Seminars II |
Edward F.
Harris |
| Day: Th |
Time: 8-9 |
Place: Dunn |
Credit: 1 |
| This course
is a companion to clinical training in orthodontics and involves faculty
and student evaluations of historically significant as well as contemporary
orthodontic literature. All of the current research articles in the
key journals in orthodontics are reviewed as they are published. Key
historical literature is presented in lecture format by the graduate
students based on readings compiled by the faculty. The students are
also exposed to the historical development of orthodontics, additional
treatment philosophies through guest speakers, and new developments
in treatment. |

Craniofacial
Anomalies |
William Parris |
| Day: TBA |
Time: TBA |
Place: TBA |
Credit: 1 |
| The orthodontic
graduate student must be trained to deal with and to competently treat
patients who present with various skeletal and dental anomalies. This
course’s purpose is to cover the literature on the various syndromes
and developmental anomalies that affect the teeth and the face. Visiting
lecturers from across the spectrum of healthcare delivery address
the class and explain the intricacies of dealing with these problems
from the perspective of their respective specialty. |

make two presentations, which are videotaped and critiqued by the
class and instructors. Preparation of effective visuals will be required
as part of each presentation. Each student must obtain agreement from
a faculty member who will serve as content expert and who must attend
the student's two presentations. |
