27 Nov '25

Hello Dentistry students, Attached are your winter term schedules by week and the overall Winter Timetable. Also included is the Dentistry/Dental Hygiene Academic Schedule. Note winter term courses will be available in UM Learn as of January 5th. If access to any fall courses disappears over the next few weeks, please let your instructor know and copy me and Dr. John Perry on the email. There are sometimes some behind the scenes processes that shut down UM Learn automatically and we will ensure that they are up and available for your exam period. After January 5th, please use your schedules in UM Learn as I will not be updating these Excel documents and/or re-circulating them. Note that any exam information included on the weekly schedules is DRAFT and subject to change. Please do not make any travel arrangements until these exam schedules are FINAL. Please also note that you are required to attend clinical clearance at the end of term. Presently, this has been scheduled after the last week of clinics for D4 and the week after exams for D1-3. If there are discrepancies between lecture information entered in UM Learn and your course outline, please confirm with your Course Coordinator. If there are changes to be made in UM Learn, please let me know and I can update the schedule as required. Good luck with exams coming up and have a very restful and joyful holiday season! Happy Holiday's and Happy New Year! Susan Susan Petras Student Affairs Coordinator Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry University of Manitoba Office: P131c, Pathology Bldg.

Student Reps for Course Evaluation
by Susan Petras 20 Nov '25

20 Nov '25

Hello Dentistry and Dental Hygiene Classes, Please find attached a list of courses and Course Coordinators which includes a listing of Student Reps (3 per course) for Student Course Evaluation. Also attached is some further information on the course evaluation process as well as a form that needs to be completed for each course. The College/School relies on student feedback to continually improve our course delivery. Please contact your Course Coordinator for any course that you have been assigned to as an evaluator (working on behalf of the entire class) and make arrangements to meet to discuss the course prior to the end of term. Spanned courses (courses that continue into Winter term) do not need evaluation until the end of Winter term. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Susan Susan Petras Student Affairs Coordinator Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry University of Manitoba D113 - 780 Bannatyne Ave. Winnipeg, MB R3E 0W2 [http://umanitoba.ca/admin/mco/brand/download/UM_Logo_HORZ.jpg] (204) 789-3484 Susan.Petras(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Susan.Petras@umanitoba.ca>

Clinic Update - 17 Nov 2025
by Trenna Reeve 16 Nov '25

16 Nov '25

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students: Please review with following updates and reminders: 1. Axium * if you plan an incorrect treatment then you need to copy the treatment plan in its entirety, make the necessary edits/corrections, delete the old treatment plan and have it signed for by the patient. 2. Pre-authorizations * Send an email on OUTLOOK (not axiUm) to your PCC with all information regarding the treatment you need to pre-authorize. * Students must familiarize themselves with the eligibility criteria set out by CDCP, prior to sending a pre-authorization request to your PCC. Requesting pre-authorizations for patients who do not meet the criteria causes delay in treatment and increases the timeline of all submissions. * View Criteria here: https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/dental/dental-care-plan/guide.ht… * Students must indicate if the Crown/Denture is an initial placement. If not initial, you must indicate approximately how many years ago the existing was placed. You must provide this information to your PCC/Insurance Coordinator to avoid delaying your pre-authorization. * If you have been notified by a PCC/Insurance Coordinator of any missing information required for pre-authorization, update the PCC/Insurance Coordinator once that information has been obtained (ie: perio chart, x-ray etc) to ensure your pre-authorization is submitted in a timely manner. 3. Patient check-in/Patient check-out * Before checking out your patient at the front desk, ensure you have obtained a swipe for the treatment code provided during the current clinic session. If not then have your patient have a seat in the waiting room and you must return to clinic to find your instructor and have your procedure codes swiped. * If it takes you multiple appointments to complete a single treatment code, then that treatment code should be entered as in process for each of the sessions until it is completed. Treatment codes can be In processed multiple times and are required to reflect each appointment date that the student continues with the treatment. At each clinical session you must enter a treatment code that reflects care that was provided for that session even if it is incompleted. 4. Treatment plan timings * Dental hygiene students should not be scheduling patients until a comprehensive treatment plan has been completed. Communicate with the assigned dental student to coordinate timings to ensure the treatment plan is completed before you schedule the patient for hygiene care. If this is not possible your options are to have the treatment plan completed by the D4 on Hygiene Recall with you or speak to the front desk PCCs and they will look at scheduling the patient for a treatment plan. 5. Radiology * Ensure you have completed the radiology request form and procedure codes for any planned radiographic images and have this approved before bringing your patient to radiology. All radiology requests must be approved by a dental instructor or for those on DH Recall, by the floor lead. * CBCTs will not be fee waivered if they are for diagnostic purposes. If a CBCT is required to help diagnosis or treatment plan it will not be fee waivered. A CBCT may be considered to be fee waived is if it is needed during endodontic therapy to assess ongoing treatment (determine if student has ledged/perforated, missed a canal). Please discuss the cost of CBCT imaging with your patient prior to imaging. * Generally, all CBCTs on the main clinic floor should be for endodontic purposes only. When working with the endodontist if it is felt that a CBCT is required then this will need to be discussed with the patient (fee vs. payment) and then discussed and approved by the floor lead. * If a CBCT has been completed for any reason the radiographic report must be completed with the endodontist first, then forwarded to Dr. Sunil Mutalik for overall review. Have a great week. Trenna M.

Moto X3M Game Review
by kittiharlequin＠2200freefonts.com 07 Nov '25

07 Nov '25

Moto X3M is one of the most exciting online motorcycle games that has captured the attention of players worldwide. Known for its thrilling tracks, challenging obstacles, and smooth gameplay, this game provides endless entertainment for both casual and hardcore gamers. In this review, we will explore the gameplay, levels, graphics, controls, and tips to enhance your experience in Moto X3M. https://motox3mfree.com/ Thrilling Gameplay Experience The core of Moto X3M lies in its fast-paced motorcycle racing action. Players navigate through various levels filled with ramps, loops, water hazards, and spikes. The goal is to reach the finish line as fast as possible while avoiding crashes. The game offers a perfect balance between speed and precision, requiring both skill and timing. Every level introduces new challenges, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging. One of the standout features of Moto X3M is its risk and reward system. Players can attempt daring stunts for higher scores but face the risk of crashing. This feature adds excitement and encourages repeated play to master each track. The game successfully combines adrenaline-pumping action with strategic decision-making, making it appealing to a wide range of players. Level Design and Challenges Moto X3M features a variety of levels that increase in difficulty as the game progresses. Early levels are simple and designed to help players learn the controls and mechanics. However, later stages introduce complex obstacles that test reflexes and problem-solving skills. Ramps, loops, and moving platforms demand precise timing, while water and spikes require careful navigation. Each level has hidden shortcuts and secret paths that can reduce completion time. Discovering these hidden routes adds an extra layer of strategy for advanced players. The combination of creativity in level design and progressive difficulty ensures that players remain engaged and challenged throughout the game. Controls and Mechanics The controls in Moto X3M are intuitive, making it easy for beginners to start playing immediately. Players can accelerate, brake, and tilt the bike forward or backward using simple keyboard or touchscreen inputs. Mastering these controls is crucial for performing stunts, avoiding obstacles, and completing levels efficiently. The game’s physics engine is realistic, offering a sense of authenticity while maintaining fun gameplay. The bike responds naturally to ramps, jumps, and collisions, allowing players to experiment with different techniques. Precision control is key, especially in levels with narrow platforms and sharp turns. Graphics and Sound Moto X3M features vibrant and colorful graphics that enhance the overall gaming experience. The detailed environments, dynamic backgrounds, and smooth animations contribute to immersive gameplay. Each level has a unique theme, such as water parks, deserts, and industrial zones, keeping the visuals fresh and appealing. Sound design plays a significant role in the game’s excitement. The engine sounds, crash effects, and background music create a thrilling atmosphere that complements the fast-paced action. The combination of visual and auditory elements ensures that players are fully engaged during each ride. Tips for Success To excel in Moto X3M, players should focus on mastering both speed and control. Here are some tips to improve performance: Learn Level Layouts: Spend time observing the track to anticipate obstacles and plan the best route. Master Stunts: Performing flips and tricks increases your score and can unlock achievements. Use Shortcuts: Explore hidden paths to save time and gain an advantage. Practice Timing: Precise jumps and landings are essential to avoid crashes. Upgrade Skills: If the game allows, unlock better bikes and equipment to enhance performance. Consistent practice and experimentation are key to mastering challenging levels. Each failed attempt provides insight into better strategies and techniques, making the learning process rewarding. Multiplayer and Community Features Moto X3M has expanded its reach by offering multiplayer modes where players can compete against friends or global opponents. Racing against others adds competitive excitement and motivates players to improve their skills. Online leaderboards showcase top players, encouraging healthy competition and community interaction. The game also has an active fan base that shares tips, tricks, and custom level designs. Engaging with the community can enhance your gaming experience by providing new challenges and opportunities for collaboration. Sharing achievements and discussing strategies fosters a sense of camaraderie among players. Updates and New Content The developers of Moto X3M regularly release updates that introduce new levels, bikes, and features. These updates keep the game fresh and encourage players to return for new challenges. Seasonal events, limited-time competitions, and bonus levels add variety and excitement. New content often includes innovative obstacles and creative level designs that push players to adapt their strategies. Staying updated with the latest releases ensures that players remain engaged and continue to enjoy the evolving game world. Why Moto X3M Stands Out Several factors make Moto X3M a standout game in the motorcycle racing genre: Engaging Gameplay: Combines speed, stunts, and strategy in a seamless experience. Challenging Levels: Progressive difficulty keeps players motivated to improve. Beautiful Graphics: Colorful and detailed visuals enhance immersion. Responsive Controls: Intuitive mechanics make the game accessible to all players. Active Community: Multiplayer modes and fan engagement create a vibrant player base. These qualities contribute to the game’s popularity and long-lasting appeal, making it a must-try for racing game enthusiasts. Conclusion Moto X3M is a thrilling and entertaining motorcycle racing game that offers endless fun for players of all skill levels. With its challenging levels, vibrant graphics, intuitive controls, and active community, the game provides a complete gaming experience. Whether you are a casual gamer looking for excitement or a competitive player aiming for the top of the leaderboard, Moto X3M delivers adrenaline-pumping action and rewarding gameplay.
