MAYNARD KIPLINGER HINE, Dean of the School of Dentistry, and Head and Professor of Periodontia and Histopathology. BADERTSCHER, professor of anatomy, and assistant to the dean of the School of Medicine at Bloomington. 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.
The Indiana University Medical Center consists of the School of Medicine, the School of Dentistry, the Training School for Nurses, the Robert W. The children's clinic was established under the direct supervision of Colonel Messner, an alumnus of the School. The library of Indiana University School of Dentistry, located in the Dental School Building, contains 8,500 volumes covering all the dental fields and related subjects.
The Indiana Union, a division of the University, operates a cafeteria (the Commons) in the Union Building. This is only desirable when it is absolutely necessary, as schoolwork should be the first and foremost interest in the student's life. Through the formation of the Indiana·Jniversity School of Dentistry Alumni Association, many privileges have been offered to dentists practicing in Indiana.
The purpose of the bulletin is to keep the alumni informed about school activities and progress.
Requirements for Admission, Promotion, and Graduation
The Faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences has approved the following curriculum leading to the B.S. The choice of electives, both those required to complete the major and minor subjects in the Concentration Groups and the free electives , must be approved by the person responsible for the predental work. The third six-hour elective is best taken in the Junior year electives.
The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences has also approved the curriculum leading to the A.B. This will usually require the student to enroll in six hours of the language in the third semester and defer their Group IV A or IV B requirements to the fifth semester. 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. Failure to pass the exam to remove the condition is a failure and prohibits the student from advancing to the senior year. The student may not take the remedial exam to remove the condition if he does not submit to the instructor a certificate of payment for the remedial exam.
Any student who fails to report for examination or fails to complete any part of the required work in any course will receive an incomplete. Failure to remove an incomplete or a condition grade within six months, to the full satisfaction of the instructor in charge and of the Dean, will constitute a failure. A student who has conditions or failures, or both, in courses totaling more than 30 percent of the scheduled hours for the semester may be dropped from his class.
Students who fail to advance as described herein must repeat all subjects of the lower grade with students of that grade. Dental clinics will be open most of the summer months to allow Indiana University students to gain additional clinical instruction and experience. Candidates for the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery must be of good moral character, students must be of good behavior during school and complete all required work of the curriculum to the satisfaction of the faculty.
Courses in the School of Dentistry, 1947-48
Lectures and exercises in the preparation and use of porcelain and acrylic restorations in dentistry. Fundamental principles and technical procedures of operative dentistry including classification and selection of instruments, cavity preparations, physical properties and manipulation of filling materials and root canal technique are presented in this course, which prepares the student for clinical practice in the Junior year. Modern methods used in the administration of local anesthetics, surgical procedures such as those employed in tooth removal and other surgical treatments of oral diseases are taught through lectures, lantern slides and numerous clinical cases.
This course is designed to instill in the student an appreciation of the fundamental principles of oral surgery. The course includes a study of the etiology, diagnosis, and surgical treatment of oral diseases, including tumors, impacted teeth, alveolar abscesses, deformities, cleft lip and palate, and jaw fractures. The normal growth pattern of this region and methods of recognizing deviations from nonna1 relations are emphasized.
The study of the development of the teeth, jaws and face, as well as the study of the bones and musculature of the head and neck, is connected with the study of occlusal forces in this lecture. The one-hour lecture every week is devoted to the analysis of dental abnormalities and the principles used in preventive and corrective treatment. In a two-hour laboratory session every week of the second semester, the student performs technical procedures used in prevention and correction. malocclusions. In studying the principles of disease in the human body, gross specimens and histological analyzes are used as a means of learning the normal ways in which living tissues and organs of the body respond to various harmful factors.
In this course, developmental abnormalities and acquired defects of teeth and surrounding structures are studied in more detail. In addition, thirty works at the children's clinic during the year provide the student with rich practical experience in pedodontics. This course includes the study of periodontal diseases faced by the general practitioner: their etiology, symptomatology and accepted methods of treatment.
A discussion of the mechanism by which drugs produce their effects, illustrated by laboratory observation of the action of representative drugs on living organisms. A discussion of the major medical diseases and the drugs used in their treatment. Lectures and laboratory exercises on the basic techniques of making removable restorations for lost natural teeth.
Assignments are designed to make the most of the student's time to prepare for solving clinical problems that will be encountered in the junior and senior years. The lectures include the study of the physical principles of X-ray images, terminology, handling of the X-ray machine, the dangers of X-rays, film processing and interpretation of X-ray images.
