COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is a continuation of the previous course (Dent 203). It aims to provide students with the basics of dental materials' science and offer a perspective on the advancements in newly developed materials or improvements to those currently in use. This includes the introduction to the main dental materials used in conservative dentistry in addition to removable and fixed prosthesis materials. This will include their physical and chemical properties, handling characteristics, manipulation and long term maintenance in patients mouths. Such knowledge will be applied firstly in preclinical laboratories, and then as part of the dental services within the dental clinics. This knowledge will also be instrumental in educating patients in the home maintenance of restorations and prostheses.

Objectives and outcome

Successful completion of the dental material course should allow students to apply the acquired knowledge in the following manner: Identify and become familiar with the main characteristics and properties of dental materials, allowing them to understand the rationale for their use. Identify and demonstrate the use, storage and care of dental materials and dental equipment in the dental office and the dental laboratory. Become familiar with the hazards and appropriate precaution procedures related to certain dental materials Have an understanding of how to correctly manipulate and use the various restorative, adhesive and other clinical materials when providing dental care in different fields including operative, preventive, prosthetic and aesthetic dentistry.

Course requirements
In order to successfully complete DENT305, the student is required to fulfill the following requirements: To have a valid registration to the course Attend all lectures Complete all reading assignments when given Complete all written tests with a minimum grade of 50%. Demonstrate professionalism in dress, conduct, and attitude.

Methods of instruction and teaching

Classroom lectures Tests and exams Review of exams Textbook reading assignments

Individual conferences
The course coordinator is always available to talk with the student when problems arise. If you have any problems that require the attention of an instructor, do not wait until the problem is insurmountable. If a student must talk with the course coordinator after office hours, an appointment can be made for that time.

Theory exams; intra-semester exam Midterm exam 40% Written tests: Two tests are scheduled for the semester And final exam Final exam 60% The examination may consist of true or false questions, matching questions, multiple choice questions, or fill-in the blanks questions for the analysis and application of what you have learned. All examination questions will be based on the learning outcomes/objectives provided in the units and in the textbooks. All tests venues are outlined in the syllabus given to the students Students must attend all required scheduled exams that make up a final grade, at the appointed time and place. If a student is to be absent on the day of the test, she/he is to contact the course coordinator prior to testing time. If the student fails to take the test, the student will receive a zero (0) on that test.

Other instructions and notes

Absenteeism To receive course credit, a student should attend a minimum of 90% of the assigned lectures; meaning losing only one lectures. Absence from class is counted from the day the class meets officially for the first time Students who are absent from the lecture must contact the course coordinator prior to the class. If absent from lectures, then the course coordinator will refer to related guidelines set by the university. Any student who is absent on a test day, will have to demonstrate an acceptable medical or social statement explaining the illness or personal crisis as instructed by their faculty as soon as possible. Course coordinator may accommodate by arrangements for a make-up test only when a written request is sent to and approved by the dean. Special needs Any student who feels that she/he may need accommodation for any type of disability is encouraged to contact the course coordinator who will be happy to help in any way. Accommodations to the course plan can be tailored to the needs of specific individuals after consultations with the dean. Course changes Information contained in this course outline is correct at the time of

publication. Content of the courses is revised on an ongoing basis to ensure relevance to changing educational needs. The course coordinator reserves the right to add or delete material from courses and will endeavor to provide notice of changes to students as soon as possible The timetable may also be revised accommodating to holidays and unexpected off days

Lecture outline
For each lecture, materials used in a category of dental applications will be listed. History and uses, general properties, classifications, compositions, optimum properties, related infection control procedures, storage, and safety precautions will be discussed for each similar group of material. Faults and failures will be pointed out due to mishandling. Manipulation instructions will be discussed interactively. Demonstrations by figures or video will accompany the related subjects. Advances in the newly marketed materials will be addressed briefly. Introduction to the SELF LEARNING concept will be emphasized through a list of educational and elaborative websites given as homework or suggested additional course work.
