DHYG 401 Dental Hygiene Practice (6 credits)
Prerequisite Current enrollment in Bachelor of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene program.
Course Description
The fourth in a series of seven linked courses focused on advanced development of knowledge and dental hygiene clinical skills learned in DHYG 301, 311 and 321, and required for the safe and effective practice of dental hygiene in a supervised clinical setting.
Student Outcomes
1. Using current evidence-based science in a clinic setting on patients with progressively more complex oral health dental hygiene therapy(ies) needs, accurately and consistently:
a. record and organize steps for development of a dental hygiene diagnosis resulting in a patient care plan for dental hygiene therapy(ies).
b. apply dental hygiene theory and techniques in patient assessment, dental hygiene diagnosis, treatment planning, radiology, treatment documentation and dental hygiene therapy(ies).
c. interpret patient interview and clinical assessment data, applying principles of cariology to identify caries risk for individual patients in order to develop of a dental hygiene treatment plan.
d. apply treatment planning models to develop and implement appropriate patient education and treatment based on individual patient caries risk assessment.
e. determine the appropriate procedures for dental hygiene therapy on adult and pedodontic patients for maintenance of oral health or treatment of oral diseases classified by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP).
f. record and organize steps for development of a dental hygiene diagnosis resulting in a patient care plan for dental hygiene therapy(ies).
g. apply dental hygiene theory and techniques in patient assessment, dental hygiene diagnosis, treatment planning, radiology, treatment documentation and dental hygiene therapy(ies).
h. interpret patient interview and clinical assessment data, applying principles of cariology to identify caries risk for individual patients in order to develop of a dental hygiene treatment plan.
i. apply treatment planning models to develop and implement appropriate patient education and treatment based on individual patient caries risk assessment.
j. determine the appropriate procedures for dental hygiene therapy on adult and pedodontic patients for maintenance of oral health or treatment of oral disease classified by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) as gingivitis.
k. determine appropriate referral needs for any given patient or case presentation.
l. self-assess your application of dental hygiene theory and techniques in patient assessment, dental hygiene diagnosis, treatment planning, radiology, treatment documentation and dental hygiene therapy(ies) to assess whether you, and if applicable, your healthcare team rendered quality patient care. (Quality patient care parameters will vary from patient to patient.)
k. describe, treatment plan and implement introductory root planing techniques on patients requiring this dental hygiene therapy.
2. In all settings, demonstrate professional communication skills using correct terminology and vocabulary necessary to discuss the oral health treatment plan and procedures with patients, peers, and other health care professionals and health care teams to foster health and health behavior.
3. In a clinic setting with progressively more complex patient oral health dental hygiene therapy(ies) needs, specifically moderate periodontal diseases, continue to accurately and consistently develop skills in all Student Outcomes from previous courses DHYG 301, 311 and 320.
