Curriculum GuidesThe guides below recommend CE courses to assign using an example curriculum from leading dental, dental hygiene and dental assisting programs.
Guide for Dental Curriculum
Guide for Dental Hygiene Curriculum
Guide for Dental Assisting Curriculum
This chairside periodontal patient education guide is designed to help you communicate common oral conditions to your patients while using your professional guidance to provide treatment options.
It is based on the Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions proceedings of the World Workshop jointly held by AAP and EFP 2017.
These in-depth case studies have been designed specifically for dental hygiene students. Each case includes the patient documentation (Patient History and Periodontal Charting) and images (Radiographs and Intraoral images). Above all, our hope is that these cases will provide insights into the complex issues involved in patient care.
These in-depth case challenges have been specifically developed for dental students. Each case challenge allows students to test their ability to diagnose complex cases by reviewing diagnostic information, such as clinical, radiographic and pathological findings which allows them to select the proper diagnosis.
Caries Process and Prevention Strategies comprises a series of ten continuing education courses that may be taken individually or as a complete series. Procter & Gamble is delighted to have created these courses in conjunction with ADEA, enabling high quality educational experiences and an up-to-date understanding of both the science and its relevance to clinical dental practice.
Here are several teaching tools to assist you:
