The
Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University

Course Objectives:

  1. Familiarize candidates with facility and equipment
  2. Provide access to laboratory facilities for practice of lab bench exercises
  3. Provide faculty supervision of candidates for x-ray and examination of your patients at The Dental College of Georgia
 

Course Description:

Many candidates who are unfamiliar with Augusta University may need access to the facilities prior to the CRDTS exam.  To comply with state laws and institutional policies, an orientation course is designed to allow you to evaluate (NOT TREAT) patients who you may wish to treat during the examination.  Assistance in preparation for the examination will include orientation, tour, access to clinic for screening activities, and access to laboratory and supplies for preparation and practicing the procedures that do not involve patients.

Individualized instruction on specific procedures is beyond the scope of this course.  However, on the scheduled day faculty will be available to provide individualized feedback on dentoform preparations.  A limited number of ivorine teeth, as well as the recommended diamond burs, will be made available to each participant.

It is the responsibility of each candidate to provide their own patients.  Augusta University does not have a broad patient pool and does not allow applicants access to patient records (this includes active patients assigned to students).  Securing back-up patients is strongly advised.
