OPERATIVE DENTISTRY This course, in the sophomore year. introduces the student to the science and art of restoring, with various materials, the lost portions of the teeth. The nomenclature, classification and rules of cavity preparation, and instrumcn-tology are presented. A detailed study of restorative materials is made and gold foil, silver amalgam, silicate cements and self-curing acrylics are inserted in technic teeth and natural teeth. Various operative techniques are performed by the student, such as rubber dam application, separation of teeth, and examination and charting of the mouth. The sixty-four hours of lecture, given throughout the year, are supplemented by one hundred and ninety-two laboratory hours of practice and instruction to the technical art of executing the didactic material. This course is the important background for the actual clinical work commenced in the junior year in the Department of Clinical Operative Dentistry. Louis Herman, D.D.S..

Frederic James, L.M.M.S.S.A., D.D.S., Professor of Histopalhology, Director of the Isaiah Dorr Research Laboratory ORAL PATHOLOGY In Oral Pathology, the fundamental! of General Pathology arc extended and applied to the disease and deficiencies incident to the oral cavity The subject matter is presented by lectures, slides, natural color photographs, gross sped mens, and models Particular attention it given to the diseases of the paradon-tium, the dental pulp, the teeth, the character and classification of cysts and tumors, and the influence of systemic disease upon the oral structures. The student is given the opportunity of studying tn the laboratory the microscopic sections of the cases which he has observed and may be treating in the clinic, thus bringing into practical application the basic principles which he has learned in previous work. ORAL HISTOLOGY The course in Oral Histology given during the first semester of the sophomore year takes up the specialised study of the mi«o-anatomy of the teeth, periodontal membrane, mucous membranes, and other oral tissues and organs. The detailed cmbryological development of these structures is also studied. The material is presented by meant of lectures, demonstrations, models, pro)cctcd micro-slides, and through thirty-two hours of microscopic work in the Histology Laboratory. Andrew J. Donnelly, M.D., Professor of General Pathology Martin Entinc, D.D.S., Lecturer in Oral Pathology GENERAL PATHOLOGY The course is intended to encourage the sophomore student to use his knowledge of anatomy, embryology, histology. chemistry, physiology and bacteriology so that he may understand In some measure the morbid conditions and processes that affect the body. From his studies of disease it is hoped that the student will learn to approach and undertake diagnosis and treatment of patients intelligently. “By virtue of lantern slides and microscopic study, who can deny . . .

CROWN AND BRIDGE PROSTHESIS Resinning in the sophomore year and carrying on through the Junior and senior years, the student receives instruction and training in the principles of Crown and Bridge Prosthesis. In the didactic work, the student is taught the fundamentals of tooth preparation, various types cf attachments used in modern fixed partial dentures, the variations and modification of standard cavity preparation for the spccialircd use in this field, the indication! and contraindications for fixed restorations, and the technical procedures In their preparation and insertion. The didactic material is supplemented by one hundred and ninety-two hours of practice in the technique laboratory during the sophomore and Junior years. Every effort is made to keep the student informed of the most recent advances in the use of new techniques and materials. Metro J.
