A study of the rationale, indications and/or contraindications, and utilization techniques for various procedures including: pit and fissure sealants, ultrasonic scaling, periodontal scaling and root planning. The concepts of decision making are examined to assist students to develop responsibility and accountability for their actions. Recognition and management of life-threatening emergency situations are reviewed, with in-depth discussion of the etiological and/or precipitating factors, and the possible effects of these factors on the oral tissues. Emphasis is placed on the integration of this information with knowledge obtained in prerequisite courses to further develop skills in obtaining comprehensive patient medical histories. This course must be taken in conjunction with Clinical Practice III to achieve cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills in patient care procedures covered.
