10-508-102 ORAL ANATOMY, EMBRYOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY...prepares Dental Hygienist students to
apply detailed knowledge about oral anatomy to planning, implementation, assessment, and
evaluation of patient care. Students identify distinguishing characteristics of normal and abnormal
dental, head, and neck anatomy and its relationship to tooth development, eruption and health.
(Prerequisites: 10-806-177, General Anatomy & Physiology, 10-508-101, Dental Health Safety)
10-508-105 DENTAL HYGIENE PROCESS 1...introduces Dental Hygiene students to the basic
technical/clinical skills required of practicing Dental Hygienists including use of basic dental
equipment, examination of patients, and procedures within the dental unit. Under the direct
supervision of an instructor, students integrate hands-on skills with entry-level critical thinking and
problem-solving skills. The course also reinforces the application of Dental Health Safety skills.

102, DH-Oral Anatomy, Embry & Histology; 10-508-103, Dental Radiography)
10-801-136 ENGLISH COMPOSITION 1 ...learners develop knowledge/skills in planning, organizing,
writing, editing. Students will also analyze audience/purpose, use elements of research, format
documents using standard guidelines, and develop critical reading skills. (Prerequisite: Accuplacer Rdg

AND Eng greater/equal to 18; OR preparatory courses-contact academic advisor at 920-498-5444)
10-508-103 DENTAL RADIOGRAPHY APPLICATIONS...prepares dental auxiliary students to operate x-ray
units and expose bitewing, periapical, extra oral, and occlusal radiographs. Emphasis is placed on
protection against x-ray hazards. Students also process, mount, and evaluate radiographs for diagnostic
value. In this course students demonstrate competency on a manikin. In addition, students expose
bitewing radiographs on a peer, role-play patient. (Prerequisite: 10-508-101, Dent Health Safety;
Corequisite: 10-508-102, Oral Anat & Hist OR 31-508-304, Dental & General Anat)
10-508-107 DENTAL HYGIENE ETHICS & PROFESSIONALISM...helps student dental hygienists develop
and apply high professional and ethical standards. Students apply the laws that govern the practice of
dental hygiene to their work with patients, other members of a dental team and the community.
Emphasis is placed on maintaining con dentiality and obtaining informed consent. Students enhance
their ability to present a professional appearance. (Co-requisite: 10-508-105 Dental Hygiene Process 1)
10-508-109 CARIOLOGY...this course focuses on the characteristics and contributing factors of dental
decay. Dental Hygiene students help patients minimize caries risk by developing treatment plans,
communicating methods to patients, and evaluating treatment results. (Prerequisites: 10-806-186, Intro
to Biochemistry; 10-806-197, Microbiology; Corequisite: 10-508-106, Dental Hygiene Process 2; 10-508-110,
Nutrition and Dental Health)
10-508-106 DENTAL HYGIENE PROCESS 2...this clinical course builds on and expands the
technical/clinical skills student dental hygienists began developing in Dental Hygiene Process I. Under
the direct supervision of an instructor, students apply patient care assessment, planning,
implementation, and evaluation skills to provide comprehensive care for perio case type 0, I, and II
patients. (Prerequisite: 10-508-103, Dental Radiography; 10-508-105, DH-Dental Hygiene Process 1)
10-508-108 PERIODONTOLOGY...this course prepares student dental hygienists to assess the
periodontal health of patients, plan prevention and treatment of periodontal disease, and to evaluate
the effectiveness of periodontal treatment plans. Emphasis is placed on the recognition of the signs
and causes of periodontal disease and on selection of treatments modalities that minimize risk and
