FW: UML announcement post
by Susan Petras 06 Feb '26

06 Feb '26

Hello D3, D4 and DH2 & DH3, Please see the following announcement from Professor Laura MacDonald, regarding an IPE pilot project. This announcement has been placed in all your GS courses on UM Learn, but as I know you do not always go into that course, I thought I would send this along as well. Please let Professor MacDonald know if you have any questions. Susan Petras Connect with Health Profession Students to Explore Oral Health-Health As a health profession student we invite you to participate in a pilot of a novel initiative titled: Team-Based Collaborative Experiential Learning (TBCEL): From Head to Toes The initiative offers a unique opportunity to engage in team-based learning with students from other health disciplines and patients, focusing on the integration of oral and overall health. Though oral health is integral to overall health, it is often underrepresented in non-oral health professional education. This pilot offers you the opportunity to explore the relationship in a collaborative manner with fellow health profession students in an experiential learning practice setting. We hope you join us and help interprofessional education planners gain insights into future opportunities promoting wholistic healthcare. A short information session about the pilot will be held on Monday, Feb 23, 12:15-12:45 PM in Merkley. If you're unable to attend but are interested in participating, please contact the TBCEL pilot investigators at Dr. Laura MacDonald at Laura.MacDonald(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Laura.MacDonald@umanitoba.ca>, Dr. Gayle Halas at Gayle.Halas(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Gayle.Halas@umanitoba.ca>, or Dr. Moni Fricke at Moni-Fricke(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Moni-Fricke@umanitoba.ca> The commitment involves participation in the following: · Team orientation session (via UM Zoom, less than 30 minutes, during a noon hour). · Two in-person team meetings with two of your patients (at different times) in the dental clinic of the Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry (during a noon hour; about 60 minutes, includes a team debrief). These will take place between February and end of March/early April. · Team Focus Group (via UM Zoom during a noon hour; no more than 80 minutes). This will take place after the second patient meeting and before the end of April/beginning of May. The TBCEL is an opportunity to volunteer in helping develop quality interprofessional education sessions for the Rady Faculty of Health Sciences students. Additionally, those who maintain portfolios, it is an opportunity to reflect on a novel interprofessional collaboration experience. The TBCEL pilot has been reviewed and approved (HE2025-0361) by the Human Ethics Research Board, University of Manitoba. Many thanks for your consideration, Dr. Laura MacDonald, PhD, RDH Laura MacDonald, RDH, PhD (she/her) School of Dental Hygiene Associate Professor Dr. Gerald Niznick College of Dentistry & School of Dental Hygiene<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/health_sciences/dentistry/index.html> 780 Bannatyne Ave., and College Lead, Office of Interprofessional Collaboration<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/health_sciences/education/ipc/about_ipc.html> Rady Faculty Health Sciences [cid:image001.png@01DC9755.401EFFE0] University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba R3E 0W2 Laura.MacDonald(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Laura.MacDonald@umanitoba.ca> I acknowledge that the University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation.

Endodontic Treatment Guidelines
by Trenna Reeve 04 Feb '26

04 Feb '26

D3 and D4 students, For teeth planned for endodontic treatment you must have the following information included in your patient notes: Tooth # - percussion sensitivity (Yes/No), apical palpation tenderness (Yes/No), EPT results, cold test results, mobility, any probing depths >3mm, restorable (Yes/No) Then with that information you need to clearly indicate a pulpal and periapical diagnosis for the tooth in question Without data collection and a diagnosis, you should never proceed with endodontic treatment for a tooth (at the college or in private practice). If the treatment is elective endo then you still need to collect and report all data and pulpal and periapical diagnosis, then clearly state why elective endodontic treatment is needed. All endo treatment assignments are managed through the PCCs Elaine and Athena. They must be aware of when you are moving forward with endo treatment on any assigned patient. For all endo co-assignments within D3 and D4 these must be emailed to myself, Elaine and Athena to be reviewed and reassigned. If I do not see the information listed above the case will be on hold until you have properly collected/recorded in the patient chart the necessary pulp vitality testing information and confirmed an endodontic diagnosis. If you have any questions please let me know. Dr. Reeve Trenna M.

Change to Lab Work Requirements
by Trenna Reeve 04 Feb '26

04 Feb '26

D4 Class, In consideration of your request to reduce your lab work for Term 2, I will support you by allowing you to send your complete denture cases to the lab for set up of all denture teeth. For CUD, CLD or CUD/CLD (conventional or immediate) cases, you can send these to the lab without setting your anterior 6 and have the lab set ALL teeth. With this change, ensure that you have your case mounted correctly at the established VDO, mark your midline on the maxillary cast and send the denture teeth with the case. If at your wax try-in/tooth try-in stage the teeth are not set properly and changes are required, you will need to make the modifications to the tooth placement yourself. We do not want the lab to complete multiple tooth set ups for your case. You have one shot at having the lab set all of your denture teeth so ensure your VDO is correct and confirm repeatedly that your CR is accurate, and the case is mounted properly. For all partial denture cases you will still be required to mount the cases and set the denture teeth yourself. I hope this helps support more study time for your boards. Dr. Reeve Trenna M.
