A minimum grade of 78% must be earned for each procedure unless noted otherwise.
***Calculus charting will be done on each patient whis is Class II or greater. At the starting check your clinical instructor will assign the quadrant he/she wants you to chart. Once this is completed the instructor will check this area before proceeding to scale the patient.
Sealant Application Evaluation 4 teeth (can be placed on the same patient)
Patient Education To be performed on every patient (at least 2 evaluated)
Ultrasonic Instrumentation Evaluation 2 patients (must be Class II or greater of course) Subgingival Irrigation Each patient with pockets 4mm or greater (2 evaluated) Root Desensitization Evaluation 2 patients Radiographs BW adult 4 FMS adult 2 BW pediatric/mixed dentition 2 Instrumentation Evaluation 4 patients (must be a Class II or greater) Bleach 2 arches
Each student will receive a copy of all clinical forms utilized and specific grading criteria. Failure to complete all
clinical requirements can result in failure rather than an incomplete grade.
*A minimum score of 94% is required for each patient education evaluation.
A minimum score of 78% is required for each radiographic film set. All radiographs must be graded within one
week of taking, by a DMD. Radiographic pathology evaluations and radiographic technique evaluations are
required for all radiographs. You must sign the Radiology sign up sheet once Radiographs are taken. The student
is responsible to get x-rays graded within 1 week of signing up. If not there will be a seven (7) point deduction
for every week your Radiographs are not graded.
**ALL Requirements (Evaluations) are to be completed by 11/17/17
***A student who does not complete all requirements by the end of the semester or who withdraws from the
course will be dropped from the program. No grade of “I” (incomplete) will be given if a student fails to meet all
requirements by the semester’s end. He/She will receive a grade of “E” and will be administratively dropped
from the program.
***There will be no carrying patients over into the Spring semester.
***There will be no Class III patients graded on one quadrant. The patient must be completed. Start finding
them now.
*** Your first Class III patient needs to be completed by September 15th or the student loses one letter grade.
***Your first Clinic period all students will present at 7:30 to approve scrubs. Alterations will be at instructors
discretion. Hair/nails needs to be appropriate at this time as well!!!
Case Reasoning / Supplemental Clinical Activity:
Each student will be asked to participate in periodic case-study reviews and discussion. Students will be required
to review material prior to class and be prepared to discuss and assess treatment planning given a patient history
and other pertinent data.
Each student will complete one case study on patient of their choice, who has a systemic disease. Case Study is
due by October 22nd.
Students will also complete a Dietary Analysis on one patient based on information learned in the previous Spring
semester in Dental Nutrition. This is due by November 6th.
Each student is to keep a log/journal of their patients each day. Remember important things about them. Log
systemic diseases, medicines, etc. I would do this daily, and a good time to do them would be during down time in
clinic. These need to be neat and ledgible. The journals are to be turned in at the end of the semester.
Last minute patients is just what it says “last minute patients.” A patient is only considered such if they are found
the day of the appointment. You may only have three (3) last minute patients.
Also, only four (4) free patients for the second year students.
Final Grade Calculation:
You must earn a 78% or greater average in each of the clinical and lecture components for your final grade to be
calculated as explained below. If your average is less than 78% in either component, the lesser grade of the two
components will be your final grade. In order to continue in the Dental Hygiene Program, a final grade of “C” or
better is required.
Clinical Evaluations: 75%
Case Type I / Pediatric 15%
Case Type II 30%
Case Type III / IV 25%

Attendance Policy:
Attendance is imperative to succeed in the program and will be documented for each lecture and lab. If you are unable to be in class or lab you must notify the course instructor of the class/ coordinator/ or administrative assistant (Linda). If you are tardy for a lecture or lab, you must gain instructor approval to enter. If you need to leave early, you must notify the course instructor. Any disruption of class by a student regardless of the form of disruption and at the discretion of the instructor may result in dismissal from class and loss of participation points for the day. It is the responsibility of the student to contact both the class instructor and the site proctor by email if you are unable to attend class for any reason. It is the student’s responsibility to contact the instructor or site proctor for any missed assignments. If you are absent on the day of an exam, a grade of “0” will result for that exam unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. A valid excuse is one that is written, dated, and signed by a doctor, lawyer, etc. on office letterhead. Work or regularly scheduled appointments are not deemed acceptable excuses. This goes for guest lecturers as well. Everyone needs to be here regardless of work, etc. Children are not permitted in lectures or labs. If your child is a patient in the clinic he/she may not be left unattended while you are in clinic, lecture, or lab. Cell phones or any other electrical device must be placed in your secured area at your site, or confiscated at the beginning of lecture/clinic. Any abuse of policy may result in a zero.

Students failing to meet safety compliance standards established by the committee will be dismissed
from the program.
