COLUM IA X C ' ORAL PATHOLOGY HENRY A. BARTELS, B.S., D.D.S. Instructor LESTER I. CAHN, D.D.S. Assistant Professor of Dentistry A FTER having completed their training in the fundamental medical sciences, the students are given a thorough course in oral pathology in their third year. This course enables them to rationally apply their accumulated knowledge to the comprehensive practice of dentistry. It is the aim of the instructors to demonstrate grossly and microscopically all lesions which may confront the dentist in general practice. This makes it possible for the correct diagnosis and correct treatment of these lesions. Students are introduced to the study of the pathological, first by means of lectures delivered by Dr. L. Cahn. These are correlated by laboratory work which immediately follows each lecture. Laboratory work and recitations are conducted by the Drs. Bartel and Berke. In the laboratory each student is assigned a box of slides containing mounted sections of the various types of pathology to be studied. Topo- graphical drawings of these slides are required in order to more firmly and accurately fix them in the minds of the students. DENTAL EVIEW T tnty-thrtf

COLUMBIA ORAL SURGERY RAL Surgery is, perhaps, the most glamorous phase of dentistry. We are fortunate, here at Columbia, in having a modernly equipped clinic and a staff of instructors who not only are well known as to reputation, but also have the ability of instilling into the minds of the students the principles, theories and technics of Oral Surgery. Doctors H. S. Dunning, A. Berger, F. S. McCaffrey and D. B. Parker all participate in the lectures and conferences where we are taught the theory and principles necessary to be known in the study of this all important phase of dentistry. The course is carried over a period of three years beginning with lectures followed by conferences on local and general anaesthesia and exodontia. In the third and fourth years, students are permitted to work in the clinic under careful supervision of the men of the staff. In the clinic the first real expe- rience in injections, extractions and dressings is received. Students are also required to assist in and observe the more delicate and difficult oral operations. In the fourth year time is also assigned to clinical demonstrations on various pathological cases where the condition is explained and a diagnosis made. The course as conducted gives the student the experience in exodontia, local anaesthesia and in the diagnosis of pathology so necessary in the instruc- tion of the embryo dentist. dental review Twenty-five
