This resident-run seminar series is intended to augment expertise in medical history acquisition and physical examination skills that are fundamental to perioperative patient care. This course will return to the classroom setting, furnishing opportunities for the practical application of physical examination techniques on volunteers and simulators.

This course provides Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residents with foundational knowledge in all areas of oral and maxillofacial surgery. It serves as an introduction to principles and practice of oral and maxillofacial surgery, the physiological basis of disease, evidence-based literature review, applied surgical anatomy of the head and neck, and clinical methods. The clinical component is primarily related to the care of inpatients and an introduction to simple operative procedures. The course also provides a thorough and rigorous introduction to surgery and surgical principles in general.

In conjunction with DEN3008Y taken in Year 2, this course is designed to prepare residents for DEN3004Y, DEN3011Y, DEN3012Y, DEN3013Y, DEN3021Y, DEN3022Y, and DEN3023Y in upper years.

This course provides the third-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery resident with the fundamental medical knowledge. It covers physical diagnosis, medicine, and physiology. It is required for patient care and management, especially in the pre- and post-operative phases, and for general consults in a hospital setting. The course also provides an assessment of current literature and clinical research. The relationship of the basic sciences (physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, and microbiology) to disease processes through a systematic discipline, is emphasized.

The didactic component of this course provides the third-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery resident with a complete understanding of the diagnosis and surgical management of diseases of the head, face, and neck regions. Seminar presentations use a case-based format. Residents participate in all areas of the clinical practice of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Sound judgment is developed through the formulation of differential diagnoses, rational treatment options, and participation in the surgical procedures. In Year 3, advanced clinical practice and increasing levels of responsibility for patient care are demanded which culminate in a high level of surgical skill and knowledge in Year 4.

The practice of evidence-based medicine requires the ability to define a problem and to assess, summarize, and apply the information derived from current literature to daily clinical care. This course introduces the concepts of evidence-based practice and provides the third-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery resident with practice in critical appraisal of the current literature. A review of selected journals on a regular basis also ensures the resident's familiarity with contemporary practice.

This seminar course provides a comprehensive review of growth and development of the craniofacial complex. The course focuses on head and neck anatomy and dental development from in utero to adolescence. Several theories related to "how the head grows" are discussed including an examination of the functional matrix theory as it applies to craniofacial growth. The principles of bone development in the craniofacial region are reviewed in great detail. The student will gain an understanding of the biology of soft and hard tissues in the cranium.

This is a seminar program in which students will review critically and discuss literature in principles of human behavior, developmental psychology, ethnicity and human behavior, and communication as it applies in the pediatric "triangle" concept. Various nonpharmacologic methods of guiding, managing, and shaping behaviour in the pediatric dental office will be discussed, from theoretical and practical perspectives. Some sessions will involve either case-based approaches to highlight behavioural aspects of dentistry or a review of videotapes of dentists, including graduate students in this course, interacting with patients.

This course involves a series of presentations and reading assignments dealing with special issues in the pediatric oral and maxillofacial surgery patient. Topics include maxillofacial trauma, pediatric medical issues, odontogenic infections, TMJ disorders, tooth impactions, supernumerary teeth, ankylosed teeth, exposures, enucleations, cyst, and tumors.

This seminar series reviews pertinent literature regarding pulpal therapy in the primary and young permanent dentition. The course will also include a comprehensive didactic review of endodontic therapy of the young permanent dentition. The trauma series of lecture/seminars is designed to prepare the graduate student in the diagnosis and clinical management of both mature and immature permanent teeth that have experienced pulp injury due to trauma. The course will provide the student with: 1) a biological perspective on the clinical sequelae to traumatic injury; 2) a clinical approach to treatment; and 3) an evaluative perspective on the results of treatment and trauma.

This three-year course is designed for pediatric dentistry specialty students: a) History taking, orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning (Year 1); b) Clinical orthodontics for pediatric dentistry students (Years 1, 2, 3); and c) Mechanics in orthodontic patient treatment (Year 2); and d) Facial morphology, growth, and development — assessment of Burlington data (Year 1).

This is a series of seminars and ward rounds directed by the Department of Pediatrics at the Hospital for Sick Children. A study of growth and development from birth to adulthood is presented, stressing normal values as well as causes and effects of deviations from them. This course runs concurrently with DEN4010Y and major topic areas are reinforced through patient presentations during ward rounds. Major infections are reviewed as to etiology, clinical manifestations and treatment, and current immunization procedures are presented. Tumors of a benign or malignant nature which are common to the pediatric age group are discussed as to clinical aspects and current therapies, and common bleeding disorders are described, with emphasis on management and relevance to dental practice. The aspects of cardiac disease in childhood are presented as well as related prophylactic measures in current use in dental practice. A lecture on basic genetics is given as to modes of inheritance, chromosomal abnormalities, and methods of investigation. At the Hospital for Sick Children, patients are presented who represent some of the subjects discussed in the lecture series, thereby enhancing the latter through clinical illustrations.

This seminar course has emphasis on examination of the scientific evidence supporting contemporary practice. The pediatric dentistry graduate student will gain understanding of what being a member of hospital staff entails, principles of management of dental disease under general anesthesia, medical management of a variety of co-morbidities to support their caring for the oral health of children. Topics addressed include: oro-facial wound healing, hematological diseases, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, renal disease, common syndromes and those with craniofacial malformations, dermatological diseases, disorders of muscular function, metabolic and endocrine disorders, children with medical devices, childhood cancers, respiratory diseases, neurological disorders, allergy, immunodeficiency, infectious diseases, obesity and eating disorders, pregnancy, and substance abuse. Additionally, the course will inform clinical decision-making, incorporating the added complexity of developing a comprehensive treatment plan for the pediatric patient with special health care needs. It will also discuss the issues surrounding palliative and end-of-life management of oral pain/disease.

The pharmacological management of a child's behaviour is a core clinical requirement for the clinical specialty of pediatric dentistry, as is the management of children and patients with special needs under general anesthesia.
