PHYSIOLOGY An extensive study of the functions and inter-relations of the various organs of the body it undertaken in the course in Physiology. The mechanism of respiration and gaseous exchange, blood formation and circulation, digestion and utilization of foods, the cndocrinet and their inter-relationships. secretion, excretion, and other glandular activities, and a detailed study of the central and autonomic nervous system, are a few of the divisions considered. Instruction Is given in the sophomore year with sixty-four lecture hours and one hundred twenty-eight laboratory hours. The laboratory work is devoted to a study on suitable experimental animats of the normal functional activities discussed in the lectures. Dr. (.arson and Henry Haven. A.B., M.A. ORTHODONTICS The fundamentals of occlusion, the study of growth and development, the recognition of malocclusion in its various stages, and the institution of pre- Evert J. Larson. A.B.. A.M.. Ph.D„ Professor of Physiology ventive measures. The pre-clinical instruction in the sophomore year is devoted to a comprehensive presentation of general evolution of the body and teeth, a resume of comparative dentitions, a study of the form, stresses, and forces of the human dentition; a review of the osteology and myology of the head and neck with particular emphasis on the bones of the face and the muscles of mastication and deglutition; and a correlation of the foregoing subjects to all phases of Dentistry. The second semester includes a description of the various methods of growth studies with particular emphasis on cephalometric roentgenography; rates, sites, and areas of growth in the head, growth of the jaws and eruption of the teeth; the norm concept and variations: forces of normal occlusion; etiology of malocclusion; and classification of malocclusion.

Hedges, D.D.S., M.S., Professor of Orthodontics Beginning in the sophomore year and carrying through with clinical application in the junior and senior years, the course in Endodontics includes instruction In the etiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the pulp and periapical tissues. Endodontics (a also discussed as it relates to the other fields of clinical dentistry; particularly in reference to treatment planning. Emphasis upon the importance of the demist maintaining the natural dentition in health in the structure of the jaws, and upon pulp conservation and preventive dentistry. In the sophomore year, the student is given a lecture course in the philosophy and principles of endodontic therapy including an intensive review of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the pulp and the periapical tissues in conjunction with the clinical pathologic manifestations. In addition to the didactic course, a series of laboratory exercises and lectures arc given to teach the technics employed in endodontic therapy. 27

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.

PERIODONTICS Periodontic i the science that deals with the supporting structures of the teeth in health and disease. The objective of the course in Periodontic are to give adequate training for meeting the problems in Periodontic presented in the general practice of Dentistry; to correlate the science of Periodontic with other branches of Dentistry; to encourage an interest in research or further study; and to create an understanding of the science so that a better evaluation of new technics may be made. The course is taught by means of illustrated lectures, demonstrations, laboratory exercises with manikins, seminars, and clinical experiences. Lectures are given in the second semester of the sophomore year and are continued throughout the junior year. Laboratory exercises are arranged to prepare for clinical experiences. Demonstrations are given in the clinic. The actual clinical treatments arc practiced by both junior and senior students in fulfillment of requirements for graduation. Jacoby T. Rothncr, D.D.S., F.A.C.D., Professor of Periodontics PHARMACOLOGY The course in Pharmacology consists of sixty-four hour of lecture and demonstration. The important drugs with live responses which they incur in living tissue arc studied and evaluated. Representatives from each of the drug groups are cho cn and their characteristics and action reviewed, particular emphasis being placed on those which have dental implications. Special attention is directed to the proper writing of dental prescriptions, to analgesic , antibiotics, and anesthesia. In addition, the broad feature of toxicology are presented for those drugs of tignificant ute in dental practice. PROSTHETICS Dale F.
