EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS DEVELOPED
2015 Curriculum development proposal focused on laser application in minimally
invasive dentistry. Intent is to explore the development and implementation of a
pre - doctoral curriculum introducing laser applications in dentistry. Students are
currently given informal seminars including the basics of laser technology
including its protocol, safety and applications. The goal is to create a formal
curriculum for the predoctoral program as an adjunct to our current caries
risk prevention/management program. A pilot study will be done among D3 and
D4 students by using a survey.
2014 Designed and implemented a supplement to the curriculum geared towards
assisting D2 students in their transition from preclinic into clinic.
