Please allow up to 48-72 hours for the assignments to be graded and returned. ATTENDANCE POLICY Absenteeism In order to ensure the students in the dental hygiene program achieve the necessary didactic and clinical competencies outlined in the curriculum, it is necessary that the student complete all assigned lecture classes, clinical and laboratory hours. It is the responsibility of the student to attend class, clinic or lab. The instructor expects each student to be present at each session. It is expected that students will appear to take their exams at the regularly scheduled examination time. Make-up examinations will be given only if the absence is due to illness (confirmed by a physicians' excuse), a death in the immediate family, or at the discretion of the instructor. If students are unable to attend lecture class, clinic or lab, it is mandatory that you call the appropriate instructor prior to the scheduled class, clinic or lab time. An absence will be considered unexcused if the student fails to notify the course faculty prior to the start of class, clinic, or lab. Attendance through Blackboard Collaborate is considered an absence. The course instructor must be notified at least one hour prior to the beginning of class/lab if the student plans to attend through Blackboard Collaborate. The student is responsible for all material missed at the time of absence. Extenuating circumstances will be taken into account to determine if the absence is excused. Extenuating circumstances might include but are not limited to funeral of immediate family member, maternity, hospitalization, etc. If the student has surgery, a debilitating injury, or an extended illness, a doctor’s release will be required before returning to clinic. Summer Sessions: Regular class attendance is expected. Be sure to sign in on a regular basis to check for any additional assignment openings, and to be sure your coursework is being completed. Also, be sure to check your gradebook regularly for missing or inaccurate grades. Bring any grade questions to the instructor immediately upon noticing them. Fall/Spring Semesters: Dental hygiene students will be allowed two excused absences in any lecture, clinic or lab. Absences must be accompanied by a written excuse on the next class day. In the event that a student misses class, clinic or lab beyond the allowed absences, the following policy will be enforced: 2 absences = notification in Starfish Beginning with the third absence, 2 points will be deducted from the final course grade for each absence thereafter. Two (2) points will be deducted from the final course grade for each unexcused absence. Tardiness Tardiness is disruptive to the instructor and the students in the classroom. A student is considered tardy if not present at the start of class, clinic or lab. It is expected that students will arrive on time for class, clinic or lab, and remain until dismissed by the instructor. If tardiness becomes an issue, the following policy will be enforced: Tardy 1 time = notification in Starfish Tardy 2 times = is considered an unexcused absence. (See the definition of an unexcused absence) If a student is more than 15 minutes late to any class period, it will be considered an unexcused absence. Students should plan on attending classes, labs and clinic sessions as assigned throughout the semester. Family outings, vacations and personal business should be scheduled when school is not in session and will not be considered excuses for missing assignments, examinations, classes, labs or clinic time. DROP POLICY If you wish to drop a course, you are responsible for initiating and completing the drop process by the specified drop date as listed on the Academic Calendar. If you stop coming to class and fail to drop the course, you will earn an “F” in the course. STUDENT EXPECTED TIME REQUIREMENT For every hour in class (or unit of credit), students should expect to spend at least two to three hours per week studying and completing assignments. For a 3-credit-hour class, students should prepare to allocate approximately six to nine hours per week outside of class in a 16- week session OR approximately twelve to eighteen hours in an 8-week session. Online/Hybrid students should expect to spend at least as much time in this course as in the traditional, face-to-face class. TEACHING METHODS Teaching methods will include: Slides, Handouts, Kaltura Videos, YouTube Videos, Virtual sessions, Website links Interactive 3D apps and software (Primal Pictures and BoneBox) Blackboard Learn discussions, activities, assignments, quizzes, exams Reading Assignments COURSE REQUIREMENTS • Examinations and Comprehensive Final Exam • Quizzes • Web Assignment: dentalcare.com • Assignments (Individual and Group) COURSE EVALUATION Final grades will be calculated according to the following criteria: Exam: 12 Lecture: 10 Lab: 2 *12 exams x 5% each = 60% 60% Comprehensive Final Exam 15% Quizzes (lecture and lab) *All quizzes are weighted equally 10% Assignments (lecture and lab) *All assignments are weighted equally 10% Web Assignment (dentalcare.com) 5% TOTAL 100% GRADING SCALE A = 92 - 100 B = 83 - 91 C = 75 – 82 D = 60 - 74 F = 59 and below LIT does not use +/- grading scales **A grade of C must be acquired to pass this course ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Students found to be committing academic dishonesty (cheating, plagiarism, or collusion) may receive disciplinary action.

ADDITIONAL COURSE POLICIES/INFORMATION Examination and Quiz Policy Examinations will be based on objectives, lecture notes, handouts, assigned readings, audiovisual material and class discussions. Major examinations will consist of multiple choice, true/false, matching, short answer, and case study questions. No questions will be allowed during exams. Students are expected to complete examinations as scheduled. Make-up examinations will be given ONLY if the absence is due to illness (confirmed by a physicians’ excuse), a death in the immediate family, or at the discretion of the instructor. All make-up examinations must be taken within two (2) weeks from the scheduled exam date. All examinations will be kept on file by the instructor. Students may have access to the examination by appointment during the instructor’s office hours. Exams may be reviewed up to two (2) weeks following the exam date. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute or publish any exam questions. This action may result in dismissal from the program. A grade of “0" will be recorded for all assignments due on the day of absences unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. Students must use their personal equipment, such as computer, MacBook, laptop, iPad, to take their exams and must not use their classmates’. School computers may be used if personal equipment is not available. Respondus Lockdown Browser and Respondus Monitor will be used for examinations and quizzes, therefore, a webcam is required to take the test. The student is required to show the testing environment at the beginning of the exam to assure the instructor that it is clear of any study materials. Failure to do so will result in a 10-point exam grade deduction. If you need online assistance while taking the test, please call Online Support Desk at 409-951-5701 or send an email to lit-bbsupport@lit.edu. It shall be considered a breach of academic integrity (cheating) to use or possess on your body any of the following devices during any examination unless it is required for that examination and approved by the instructor: cell phone, smart watch/watch phone, electronic communication devices (including optical), and earphones connected to or used as electronic communication devices. It may also include the following: plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, use of A.I, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. Use of such devices during an examination will be considered academic dishonesty. The examination will be considered over, and the student will receive a zero for the exam. This policy applies to assignments and quizzes Students with special needs and/or medical emergencies or situations should communicate with their instructor regarding individual exceptions/provisions. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate such needs to the instructor. Individual and Group Assignments To maintain fairness and uphold academic standards, the following policy applies to all coursework: Individual Assignments: These must be completed independently. Students are not permitted to collaborate, share answers, or submit identical or substantially similar work. Each student is expected to produce their own original responses. Sharing work or submitting work that is not your own will result in a grade of zero (0) for the assignment, with no opportunity for resubmission. Group Assignments: These are designed to be collaborative. All group members are expected to contribute meaningfully and work together to complete the assignment. Mandatory Tutoring If a student receives a failing grade on any major exam, the student will be required to meet with the course instructor within 2 weeks of the failed exam. A review of the exam by appointment with the course instructor will be provided and/or written academic warning when a student is failing to meet minimal requirements in the classroom setting. Electronic Devices Electronic devices are a part of many individual’s lives today. Students must receive the instructor's permission to operate electronic devices in the classroom and lab. Texting on cell phones will not be allowed during class or clinic. Late coursework Assignments, quizzes, tests and projects must be completed by the due date. Late submissions or completion will not be accepted and will result in a zero for that assignment/quiz/test/project. Remediation Remediation is available by appointment.

Discuss the drainage pattern of the lymph system in the head and neck region. 2. Define “primary”, “secondary”, and “tertiary” nodes. 3. Integrate an understanding of the head and neck lymphatic system into clinical dental practice. Purpose: • The lymphatic system is a part of the immune system that consists of vessels, nodes, ducts, and tonsils. It helps fight disease processes such as infection and cancer and also serves other functions in the Body. As dental professionals, we need to have an understanding of the head and neck lymphatic system. Lymph nodes are bean-shaped bodies groups in clusters along the connecting lymphatic vessel. They are involved in production of lymphocytes and removal of toxins to fight the disease processes in the body. Primary node is the lymph node draining lymph from particular region. Secondary node is the lymph node draining lymph from primary lymph node. Tertiary node is the lymph node draining lymph from secondary lymph node. As dental professionals need to check carefully for any palpable nodes during an extraoral examination because palpable lymph nodes may help determine where a disease process is active. Complete the table with the regional lymphatic drainage pattern of the structures given. This assignment is due on June 12 at 10:30pm. This is an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. Vascular System Worksheet (Individual Assignment) LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Identify and trace the routes of the blood vessels of the head and neck in a diagram, skull, and patient. 2. Integrate an understanding of the head and neck vascular system into clinical dental practice. PURPOSE: • The vascular system of the head and neck consists of an arterial blood supply, a capillary network and venous drainage. Arterial Blood Supply begins at the heart and carries oxygenated blood away from it. Venous Drainage drains blood from the area, travels back to the heart and carries deoxygenated blood to it. As dental professionals, we need to keep in mind the possibilities of vascular lesions when treating patients with vascular disease or dental-related infections. Complete the diagram of the pathway of blood from heart and back to heart. You can type inside the box. More information is written on the actual worksheet that is attached to this assignment. Please read and understand carefully. The rubric can be found on the worksheet. This assignment is due on June 19 at 10:30pm. This is an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. Nervous System Worksheet (Individual Assignment) LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Identify and trace the routes of the cranial nerves on a diagram and skull. 2. Discuss each of the structures innervated by each of the cranial nerves. 3. Identify and trace the routes of the nerves to the oral cavity and associated structures of the head and neck on a diagram, skull, and patient. 4. Describe the structures innervated by each of the nerves of the head and neck. PURPOSE: • The nervous system is an extensive intricate network of neural structures that activates, coordinates, and controls all functions of the body. • The nervous system causes the muscles to contract resulting in facial expressions and joint movements, such as those involved in mastication and speech. • The nervous system stimulates the glands to secrete and regulate other systems of the body. • The nervous system allows sensation to be perceived, such as touch and also pain if present during dental treatment. • Understanding the nervous system and its component is important to the dental professional as this system allows for the function of the muscles, the temporomandibular joint and the glands of the head and neck. • A thorough understanding of certain nerve is also important in pain management that involves administering local anesthesia during dental treatment. • The dental professional must understand the pathology associated with nerves of the head and neck for effective dental care. Complete the table of the cranial nerves. Complete the table that is attached to this assignment. More instructions can be found on the document. More information is written on the actual worksheet that is attached to this assignment. Please read and understand carefully. The rubric can be found on the worksheet. This assignment is due on June 19 at 10:30 pm. This is an INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT. Muscles of the Head and Neck Worksheet (Individual Assignment) LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Locate and identify the muscles of the head and neck on a diagram, skull, and patient. 2. Describe the origin, insertion and action, and innervation of each muscle of the head and neck. 3. Integrate an understanding of the muscles of the head and neck into the clinical dental practice. PURPOSE: • The muscular system includes skeletal muscle tissue. A muscle within the muscular system shortens under neural control causing soft tissue and bony structures of the body to move. Each muscle is attached at both ends of these moving structures, with each end categorized according to its role in movement. The origin is the end of the muscle that is attached to the least movable structure. The insertion is the other end of the muscle and is attached to the more movable structure. The insertion of the muscle moves toward the origin where the muscle begins when the muscle is contracted. The movement is accomplished when the muscle fibers or fascicles contract is the action of the muscle. • The dental professional needs to determine the location and the action of the skeletal muscles of the head and neck in order to perform a thorough patient assessment. This information is important because the placement of other structures such as bones, nerves, blood vessels and lymph node are related to location of these skeletal muscles.

Discuss the histology of pulp and the clinical considerations for pulp pathology and repair, integrating it into patient care. PURPOSE: • Unlike enamel, both dentin and pulp cannot be viewed clinically if the teeth and associated periodontium are healthy. That is because both dentin and pulp make up the inner parts of the tooth and are not exposed to the oral environment except when certain dental pathology exists. In addition, due to their shared developmental background from the dental papilla, close proximity in the tooth, and tissue interdependence, both dentin and pulp form a dentin-pulp complex. • Dental professionals must have a clear understanding of the histology of these two types of tissue. In the past, these two inner types of dental tissue were thought of as being analogous to a “black box” that was opened only during restorative treatment or endodontic therapy and hidden the rest of the time. With the advent of expanded responsibilities and increased preventive concerns for patients, all dental professionals must be able to know about these two interesting and challenging dental tissue types.

Describe periodontal ligament properties. 9. Identify the fiber groups of the periodontal ligament on a diagram and discuss the functions assigned to each of them. 10. Discuss the clinical considerations for periodontal ligament pathology and repair, integrating it into patient care. PURPOSE: • To understand the pathologic changes that occur during the disease states involving the periodontium, dental professionals must first appreciate the histology of the healthy periodontium. Thus, the underlying histologic features of these components provide a clue to the clinical appearances noted with the periodontium, whether in a healthy or diseased state. • The periodontium consists of both the supporting soft and hard dental tissue between the tooth and the alveolar process as well as parts of the tooth and alveolar process. The periodontium serves to support the tooth in its ongoing relationship to the alveolar process. Thus, the periodontium includes the cementum, alveolar process, and periodontal ligament (PDL), as well as each of the individual components of each type of tissue. Some clinicians may include various types of gingival tissue in the category of the periodontium, but it has only a minor role in the support of the tooth. Answer the questions correctly.

Identify the key concepts of occlusion on a diagram, a dentition model, and a patient. 9. Discuss malocclusion and outline Angle classification and how it relates to patientcare, including clinical considerations concerning parafunctional habits. PURPOSE: • The dental hygienist has several roles as a primary oral healthcare provider. One of the roles is being a clinician and utilizing ADPIE (assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation), the process of care module, to develop an individualized, person-centered care plan. A key element in formulating a plan is identifying risk factors that might indicate, progress to or predict diseases. However, risk factors associated with an occlusal assessment are often overlooked, with the main reported restraint being time limitations. • Malocclusion can negatively affect quality of life, self-esteem, and the health of the periodontium. • Dental hygienists have the potential to make a significant impact on their clients’ oral health by identifying malocclusion early and making referrals. • Establishing an occlusal assessment during dental hygiene appointments reinforces comprehensive client care and provides greater opportunities for interprofessional collaboration. Complete the table below with information about Occlusion. More instructions are written on the actual worksheet that is attached to this assignment. Please read and understand carefully.
