This course is the clinical course that encompasses the scope of clinical pediatric dentistry

During the second and third year as individual clinical skills develop, students progress to manage children with more complex special health care needs, including in-patients, operating room patients, and patients undergoing conscious sedation procedures. Students gain extensive experience in the team management approach to patient care while interacting and coordinating with other medical departments within the hospitals and with outside clinics and practitioners. This course will also develop competency in interceptive orthodontic clinical training which will consist of diagnosis, record taking, treatment planning in the primary and mixed dentitions using removable or simple fixed appliances.  It will include treatment of malocclusions, and to render appropriate orthodontic treatment or refer.

During this clinical training period over 3 years, students will present a minimum of 6 completed cases with the sequence of records illustrated by photographs, radiographs, and models as appropriate. They should indicate management and treatment success over a minimum period of follow up of 12 months.
