The examination of applicants shall be sufficiently thorough to test the fitness of the candidate to practice dentistry. It shall include, written in the English language, questions on the following subjects: Anatomy, physiology, chemistry, materia medica, therapeutics, metallurgy, histology, pathology, operative and prosthetic dentistry, oral surgery and orthodontia; the answers to which shall be written in the English language. Said written examination may be supplemented by an oral examination. Demonstrations of the applicant's skill in operative and prosthetic dentistry must also be given. All persons successfully passing such examinations shall be registered as licensed dentists on the board register, as provided in section three, and shall be granted by the board a license to practice dentistry in the State of California, which license is subject to renewal, as hereinafter provided.

JOSEPH DUPUY HODGEN, D.D.S., Professor of Operative Dentistry. LOUIS GRAHAM, D.D.S., Assistant in Operative Dentistry. EDWIN H. MAUK, D.D.S., Instructor in Operative Technics. ELMER ELLSWORTH EVANS, D.D.S., Demonstrator of Operative Technics. SAMUEL W. HUSSEY, D.D.S., Demonstrator of Clinical Dentistry. The course of instruction in this department will consist of lectures, recitations, operative technics and clinics. The work has been thoroughly systematized, and graded to meet the needs of the various classes of students, beginning with the fundamental principles in the first year and systematically advancing to the practical details of the most elaborate and complicated operations upon the teeth in the third year. The course in Operative Technics is designed to ground the student thoroughly in the principles of operative dentistry and prepare him to prosecute intelligently the practical work of the infirmary. This course is completed in the first year, and embraces a study of the forms of the teeth and training in the discrimination of the individual characteristics of the different classes of teeth. This is done by examination and dissection of the natural teeth, a study of typal forms by drawing and modeling, a series of lantern slides, lectures, and quizzes. Special attention is given to the study of the pulp chambers and root canals, their number, size, form, their relation to the outer surfaces of the teeth. This course also includes an interesting study in instrument making; the use and care of instruments; the manner of their manipulation, and their adaptation to the various classes of operations by systematic practice on teeth out of the mouth. Instruction is also given in the manipulation and physical characteristics of filling materials, and the application of the rubber dam; the methods employed in gaining space; the use of the matrix and clamp; and the preparation of the cavity and insertion of specimen fillings in tooth forms. In the early part of the second year special attention will be given to the filling of teeth with the various materials employed for that purpose, and laboratory tests of such fillings made out of the mouth. By such tests only can the student learn how to overcome his faults in manipulating the filling materials. The clinical instructions in the infirmary will begin with the more simple oper ations, the student being advanced to the more difficult ones as rapidly as his capabilities are demonstrated to the satisfaction of the instructors in this department. Surgical cleanliness as applied to dental operations will receive especial attention from the lecture platform and in the infirmary. Prominent features of the clinical instruction to the third-year class will be inlay work of gold and porcelain and the introduction of large contour gold fillings. A Deposit Fee of $10 is required to cover breakage in infirmary and laboratories. DEPARTMENT OF PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY. WM. FULLER SHARP, D.D.S., D.M.D., Professor of Prosthetic Dentistry. EDWIN H. MAUK, D.D.S., Instructor of Prosthetic Technics. ELMER ELLSWORTH EVANS, D.D.S., Demonstrator of Prosthetic Technics. SAMUEL W. HUSSEY, D.D.S., Demonstrator of Clinical Dentistry. The instruction in this highly important department embraces every thing necessary to enable the dentist successfully to apply substitutes for lost organs or parts of the oral cavity. Special reference is made to the principles involved in the restoration of the natural functions of the teeth, namely, mastication, enunciation, and facial expression, keeping in view always the health and future usefulness of the living parts. The instruction is both didactic and practical, is divided into consecutive courses intended for all the classes, and includes the following subjects: First year includes lectures on the history of prosthetic dentistry; the fixtures, materials, and appliances of the laboratory; the manufacture of artificial teeth, their selection and arrangement for special cases and temperaments; the principles involved, together with the methods in constructing dentures on vulcanite, celluloid, cast, and swaged metallic bases. In addition to the didactic teaching, there are requirements in prosthetic technic which are of the greatest value, giving the students a familiarity with and knowledge of the working properties of all the materials employed, embracing the use of wax and plaster, the construction, use, and care of instruments and appliances, and experience in the use of vulcanite, making dies and counters, swaging and soldering processes, and in constructing dentures. Subsequent courses include lectures upon metals and alloys employed in the dental laboratory operations; treatment of the mouth preparatory to the insertion of artificial dentures; the construction of the more advanced styles of dentures, including a thorough study of continuous gum cases, crown, bridge, and porcelain work, and the hygienic and physiological relations of the denture to the parts with which it is in contact. |
