Dear Students,
My name is Asmaa Haimeur, and I am the course coordinator for Operative Dentistry 2 and Introduction to Comprehensive Care.
As part of the Operative Dentistry 2 course, you will be performing preparations and restorations on natural teeth. I encourage you to begin reaching out to dentists in your community to collect the required teeth.
For this course, you will need the following:
1. Mostly sound teeth (or teeth with small carious lesions or minor restorations):
* Anterior teeth: maxillary canines to canines, and a few mandibular anterior teeth * Posterior teeth: 2–3 premolars and 2–3 molars * Third molars with occlusal anatomy similar to first or second molars are also acceptable
2. Teeth with moderate caries
* 3–4 teeth with medium-sized carious lesions for caries removal practice
We are scheduled to begin working on natural teeth in mid-October, so please plan accordingly.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me by email.
I wish you all the best with your exams and look forward to working with you in the fall.
Kind regards,
Asmaa Haimeur DMD, MPH
