This course provides the academic basis of clinical medicine for residents in dental anaesthesia. Course content includes interpreting complete medical histories and physical examination findings; understanding systemic disease through the lens of anesthesia as a specialty, in particular diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems; understanding the indications for and interpretations of laboratory studies and other techniques used in physical diagnosis and preoperative evaluation, and application of clinical data to formulation of anesthetic plans and clinical patient care.

Osseointegration is a central tenant of current dental therapy — yet, not only is the concept poorly understood, but the terminology and dogma surrounding this vitally important concept confuses even the most engaged practitioners. This course discusses the concept of osseointegration from the perspective of bone biology. Bone is one of the many connective tissues; and to understand bone biology one has to have an understanding of connective tissue structure and function. Of course, to truly understand the interface a multidisciplinary approach is necessary to take into account both the material and biological variables. To address this subject matter, the course is centered around every student being able to identify and critically evaluate each of the connective tissues. We do this by spending considerable time studying the microscopic structure of connective tissues; recording observations; and sharing information between the group. While this is happening a series of spontaneous tutorials, generated predominantly as a function of student inquiry, guides the group towards a unique understanding of the biology of, and logic that drives, osseointegration. It transpires that osseointegration is a wound healing phenomenon that reflects many natural phenomena where a new equilibrium is established following a disruption of homeostasis. Recently, as a result of work undertaken at the U of T, it has become possible, for the first time, to objectively compare the osseointegration rate and ultimate strength of bone anchorage of differing implant designs. Neither prior knowledge of connective tissue biology, nor material surface design, is required; but an inquiring mind is essential.

This course consists of three foundational components: Journal Review, Clinical Rounds, and Oral Examination. On a weekly basis, residents rotate as lead facilitators to moderate discussion among peers and faculty. Residents debate the relevance and quality of evidence-based literature as it applies to and informs dental anesthesia practice. Residents perform reflective practice by presenting clinical cases. And make recommendations for quality improvement and quality assurance, while reviewing best practices for patient care. On a bi-annual basis in December and June, residents complete an oral examination in dental anaesthesia and related topics to assess progress and to prepare for board certification.

The purpose of this course is to offer instruction in specialized topics that are not part of regular graduate courses. It consists of assigned readings that are discussed in weekly meetings with the course director. Interested students should approach the graduate staff member whom they would like to direct their reading course. Staff members who agree to direct a course should submit a course outline that includes a list of papers to be discussed and the grading method to be used, to the Associate Dean, Graduate Education. The reading course must conform to regulations established by the Department and the School of Graduate Studies (Available in the Student Services Office). The Faculty will normally only consider one reading course to complete your degree requirements. In exceptional circumstances this requirement may be waived.

Graduate Research Dissemination Seminars is required as part of the program for all graduate students at the Faculty of Dentistry. This course is primarily student-led with students providing the seminar content and chairing sessions. The course is designed to provide graduate students with an opportunity to present their research in a safe environment and to receive tailored and individualized feedback to improve their performance. The submission of an abstract of the presentation on Quercus is mandatory, at least a week before the presentation. Each student will have 20 minutes to present their research, and this will be followed by a 5-minute question period. Following the presentation, the student will meet with at least one of the Course Directors for 30 minutes to review student performance and to provide feedback. During that meeting, no comments will be made about the research content presented. As part of this course, the student will also be required to chair an oral session to experience timekeeping monitoring, audience management, and questions fielding. All sessions will take place online through Zoom to increase accessibility. MSc students register in DEN1001H while PhD students register in DEN1100H.

Seminars in Oral Health Sciences is required as part of the program for all MSc and PhD students at the Faculty of Dentistry. The course is designed to demonstrate research progress, develop, and enhance presentation skills to a large audience, field questions and chair a seminar session. As part of this program, students must also meet individually with an instructor from the University of Toronto Health Sciences Writing Centre, one to two weeks before their seminar to receive expert advice on presentation skills and the design of their presentation. MSc students register in DEN1001Y and PhD students register in DEN1100Y.

Introduction to Research Methods and Dissemination is designed to provide graduate students with an introduction to the fundamental skills associated with undertaking and disseminating research.

The course will introduce the students to three blocks of skills required for their academic progression in a research environment: Literature & Writing skills, Essential Skills, and Communication skills. The course will be delivered online (Zoom) and will consist of a mixture of didactic learning and group activities. As part of this course, the students will be encouraged to interact with the presenters.

The objective of the course series Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is to teach histopathologic interpretation and diagnosis in the context of clinical and radiographic information and in relation to patient care. The students learn through practice of oral pathology and review all cases accessioned to the Oral Pathology Diagnostic Service under the guidance of the staff oral pathologists. The large volume of accessions is supplemented by case exchanges with graduate programs in Oral Pathology across North America, to broaden the students' exposure to all aspects of oral and maxillofacial pathology. The practice-based learning is supported by student presentations and journal club to address challenging or emerging areas of oral pathology. DEN1111Y Advanced Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology I is designed for junior graduate students in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology. Students learn the scope of lesions in a large oral pathology practice and develop algorithms for differential diagnosis. They will apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes learned in Anatomical Pathology to gross and microscopic examination of oral pathology cases. Under staff guidance, they will contact clinicians to request additional clinical information and imaging studies. They will develop an approach to learn from the published literature and participation in webinars and conferences.
