General Information
On June 1, 1925, by act of the Indiana Legislature, the College was purchased by the state and became the Indiana University School of Dentistry. Indiana University Medical Center consists of the School of Medicine, School of Dentistry, School of Nursing, Robert W. Students in the School of Dentistry are admitted to all University Hospitals for training and observation in hospital procedure.
The school is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools and is governed by its rules and those of the Council on Dental Education of the American Dental Association. The library receives numerous gifts of books and magazines from graduates and friends of the school. The library is gradually building up a collection of rare dental books, using as its core the small collection owned by the school since the deanship of its first dean, Dr.
For the convenience of the first-year dental students and pre-dental students on the Bloomington campus, an office on the Bloomington campus is maintained by Dean Maynard K. The average gross amount spent by dental school students is largely regulated by the spending habits of the individual. This is only desirable when it is absolutely necessary, as schoolwork should be the first and foremost interest in the student's life.
Predental students who are not legal residents of the State of Indiana and enrolled in the above schools are charged $183.75 for fifteen hours of work per semester. All students in the College of Dentistry who are not legal residents of the state of Indiana are charged a fee of $290 per semester. Under the auspices of the American Dental Association and the faculty, a chapter of student members of the American Dental Association is organized, which is a recognized association in which all students of the Faculty of Dentistry can join.
The creation of the Indiana University School of Dentistry Alumni Association has provided many privileges to dentists practicing in Indiana. The purpose of the Bulletin is to keep alumni informed about the activities and progress of the School.
Requirements for Admission, Promotion, and Graduatio n
For further information, write to the Dean of the School of Dentistry, 1121 West Michigan Street, Indianapolis 2, Indiana. In any course, the minimum attendance for which credit points will be recognized or which will admit a student to the final examination is 85 percent of the time scheduled for instruction in that course. Such work must be completed at the school and must be approved by the dean and the instructor leading the course.
Any student who fails to report for an exam or fails to complete any portion of the required work in a course will receive an Incomplete. If an incomplete grade is not removed within six months (except for clinical courses), to the full satisfaction of the responsible teacher and the dean, it will be considered a failure. A student who has incompletes or failing grades, or both, for courses exceeding 30 percent of the scheduled hours for the semester may be dropped from his class.
For the purposes of these rules, the period between the end of one regular academic year and the beginning of the next academic year shall be considered equivalent to a regular semester.). None of these regulations apply to those graduate courses that normally do not require completion of a part of the course at the end of the semester. If the student has not removed the Incomplete within two semesters of residence, the Dean of the school in which the student is currently enrolled authorizes the Office of Records and Admissions to change the Incomplete to an F.
A grade of Incomplete may be removed in one of the following ways: (a) by the student completing the course on time and the instructor sending the appropriate Removal of Incomplete card to the Office of Records and Admissions. . b) With the dean of the student's school allowing the change of Incomplete to W. Withdrawals approved by the dean of the student's school during the first four weeks of the full semester and the first two weeks of the summer session are arbitrarily marked with a W. Transcripts approved by the dean of students schools, after the first four weeks of the regular semester and after two weeks of the summer session, are marked with W or WF depending on whether the student has passed or failure to complete course work at time of cancellation.
If the absence occurs late in the semester, a grade of Incomplete may be used if the instructor has reason to believe that the cause of the absence was beyond the student's control. Dental clinics will be open most of the summer months to allow Indiana University students to gain additional clinical instruction and experience.
Courses in the School of Dentistry, ' 1954-55
Discussion and demonstration of the physical and chemical properties of materials used in dentistry and the effect of manipulation on these properties. An introduction to the study of infectious diseases with special emphasis on the nature of the agents responsible and the body's response to them. The importance of a sufficient level of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and endocrine in the body is discussed in relation to a normal function of the body as a whole, and the teeth and supporting structures in particular.
A series of lectures is presented in which the chemical composition of the teeth is discussed and the known preventive measures are evaluated. Methods of diagnosis, classification of caries activity status, reasons for natural immunity, the effects of carbohydrates and the dynamics of the teeth are discussed. This course is designed to instill in the student an appreciation for the fundamental principles of surgery as applied to the mouth.
The course includes lectures, seminars, clinical practice and demonstrations of diagnosis, treatment planning and surgical management of oral conditions including tumors, impacted teeth, alveolar abscesses, deformities, cleft lip and palate, and fractures of the jaws. The normal pattern of the face and the fundamental principles of normal occlusion are emphasized; special attention is paid to the growth and development of the facial and dental mechanism. In the lecture and laboratory period of the second semester, the student learns treatment procedures and performs technical exercises used in the prevention and correction of malocclusions.
The study of the principles of disease production in the human body uses gross specimens and histological analyzes as a means of teaching the general ways in which the living tissues and organs of the body respond to various damaging factors. This course provides detailed research into developmental abnormalities and acquired conditions of the teeth and surrounding structures. This lecture course covers general topics related to child management; growth, development and morphology of the deciduous dentition; restorative and preventive procedure for children.
This course includes the study of periodontal diseases faced by the general practitioner: their etiology, symptomatology and accepted methods of treatment.

The Curriculum for Dental Hygienists
Many applicants are encouraged to attend a liberal arts college for a year or two before enrolling in the dental hygiene curriculum. Dental hygiene students whose homes are not within commuting distance of the Medical Center can live in the nurses' cottage on campus. Although the dental hygiene program can be completed in two years, students who wish to further their education can use their credits toward a bachelor's degree in the College of Arts and Sciences.
In this course, the student begins treatment of children and adult patients, and receives instruction in oral examination and treatment planning in the Department of Oral Diagnostics. A series of lectures will be held to familiarize the student with different phases of dental care. Continuous experience with patients is received at the School of Dentistry and at Riley Hospital.
This course involves the gross study of the morphology of teeth, their arrangement and occlusion. This is a progressive course in written expression, starting with mastering the basics of grammatical relationships and paragraph building, and continuing with clear, powerful exposition in the problem statement and autobiography. It is designed to provide the basics of gross and microscopic anatomy and physiology; the functions of the human body's systems and the principles of disease production.
This is an introductory overview course in the field of general psychology with a special focus on intelligence. This half of the course pays special attention to areas such as physiological, clinical, social, abnormal, industrial and vocational psychology.
