  1. Objectives:
    1. To provide the resident with sufficient knowledge of the basic sciences for appropriate application to prosthodontic principles and techniques.
    2. To prepare the resident for the written and oral portions of the American Board of Prosthodontics specialty certification exam in applied basic science.
    3. To encourage supplemental reading in scientific journals and basic science texts to provide a broader base for patient care.
  2. Guidelines:
    1. Residents are assigned representative questions in the basic sciences taken from past Mock American College of Prosthodontists written questions. Topic areas include: head and neck anatomy, growth and development, embryology, oral pathology, histology, biochemistry, pharmacology, microbiology, immunology, wound healing, and physiology.
    2. The questions are thoroughly researched and answered in a written format for reference by the staff and residents. The presentation will include a comprehensive discussion of the topic area as well as the specified answer to the question.
    3. Seminar material will be supplemented by resident and staff lectures, consultants, and formal courses.
    4. Formal courses in Statistics and Research, Microbiology, Head and Neck Anatomy, Pain Mechanisms, Oral Pathology, and Oral Motor Skills are provided by their representative specialist from the dental school.
