Great Things at the School of Dentistry

Dental Class of 2011 #1 in the Nation

UDM’s School of Dentistry Class of 2011 earned a 100% pass rate for the National Board Part I Examination. This is the first time the School has had a 100% first-time pass rate, which places the UDM School of Dentistry #1 in the nation.

New Technology

The School of Dentistry is integrating new technology into its curriculum with 10 CEREC machines and three Lava Chairside Oral Scanners. Students now utilize CEREC technology in the simulation lab followed by clinical experience. The integration of both technologies allows UDM dental students to be more familiar with the latest trends in evidence-based dentistry.

Endodontic Searchable Web Site

The Department of Endodontics has developed the web site, Evidencebasedendo.com, as a resource for an evidence-based literature database available to the entire dental community to help justify historical and current endodontic (root canal) treatment decisions.

Dental Hygiene Program

UDM's Dental Hygiene students consistently rank well above the national average in passing the National Board and state licensing examinations on the first attempt. The dental hygiene curriculum includes seven classes that are combined with dental students providing an opportunity for future dental hygienists and dentists to begin developing a team approach to practice.
