Prosthodontic
Literature Seminar |
David Cagna |
| Day: F |
Time: 8-12 |
Place: VA
Conference Room |
Credit: 3 |
| This weekly
seminar provides exposure to historically relevant, scientific literature
in various subject areas associated with prosthodontics and related
sciences. Periodic and critical abstracting of this literature is
accomplished by seminar attendees in order to maintain a database
of condensed, topic-oriented summaries. Students in the Advanced Prosthodontic
Program participate in this seminar each semester of their three-year
residency. Twenty-four broad topics pertinent to prosthodontics are
covered on a rotational basis over a three-year period. Eight topics
are covered during each year of the residency program. Seminars are
led by the director of the Advanced Prosthodontic Program. Other members
of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center faculty are invited
to participate when their expertise with regard to the seminar topic
is considered beneficial to the learning experience. |

| Ongoing review
of current, pertinent, professional literature is fundamental to the
successful practice of prosthodontics. For postdoctoral students,
knowledge of current professional literature is essential to developing
theoretical and practical patient management skills. The assessment
of current literature for its evidence-based value is critical. Journal
Club provides a mechanism for surveying major dental periodicals to
identify important articles, reviewing those articles, and discussing
each article in an open seminar format. Twice weekly, one-hour seminars
are conducted throughout the three-year program. This schedule is
necessary to stay abreast of the ever-expanding volume of prosthodontic
literature. |

| This course
provides opportunity for students to engage in research in prosthodontics
and related sciences. Though involvement is arranged to suit individual
needs, time commitment will be approximately 4 hours per week during
each semester of the program. Students work with advisors experienced
in research methodologies and scientific writing. Instruction is given
by appropriate faculty on individual bases. Student activities include
library research, writing a literature review, developing a research
