Download Lecture Schedule and Reading Assignments

We hope to have the files for each lecture available by the day of the lecture. Many of the lectures are updated prior to class. If you download a lecture more than a week before class, you should check to see if a later version of a lecture has been uploaded to the website after the lecture has been given.

Some of the files are large (several megabytes). Unless you have a high-speed internet connection at home, download the files in CAIDENT.

I have provided copies of past exams for your enjoyment. Please remember that the course has evolved over time. New topics have been added and some have been retired. I recommend that you use the exams as study guides to help you identify topics and issues that the course faculty feel are important. Do not expect to see the same questions again (unless the multiple choice answers are changed.) You should also remember that this year's final will be comprehensive.

MidTerm and Final 2003 Grades

On the Midterm: There were "issues" with questions #29, 32, 35. I gave everyone credit for them. Also, I accepted B or D for #38

Final Grades are based on percents. There was a total of 90 points (midterm + final)

A= 90% or higher

B= 80-89%

If you have any "issues" you may contact me by e-mail, almost anytime.

I want to thank you for being such an interesting class! I am pleased with how you did in the exams and hope to be able to interact with all of you throughout your dental careers (even after you graduate). Trust me.....it will happen!

"Doc" Lopatin
