| Course Name: | Oral Diagnostics and Therapeutic Technology, Lectures and Laboratory Techniques | | Course Number: | HDO 550 | | Course Director: | Dr. Israel Kleinberg | | Description: | Recent advances in the use and development of research technology for the early diagnosis and treatment monitoring of oral and systemic disease. Special attention is paid to the principles of technology transfer including patents and patenting. The course includes relationships of dry mouth to salivary physiology, diabetes, and drug medications; salivary film measurements, wetting of oral surfaces, visco-elasticity and lubricity; the use of the Periotron and enzyme assays for the diagnosis of gingivitis and periodontal disease; instrumentation used in sensitive teeth measurement and evaluation of treatment effectiveness using several types of; oral candidiosis and denture stomatitis, early detection and causes of dental caries; oral malodor measurements including use of the Halimeter and its use in formulation of oral compositions. Applications to clinical practice and clinical studies are covered. | | Prerequisites: | HDO 560, 561, 562, and 563 or their equivalent; permission of the instructor | | Credits | 4 | | Semester: | Fall & Spring Terms |
