This is the first clinical practice course in the MSRD program. The course consists of clinical patient management and treatment plan sessions under the guidance of clinical instructors. Each student is assigned a number of patients with a variety of comprehensive complex restorative needs.  He/she is required to perform diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning, and management to address patient-mediated and dentist-mediate concerns.  As a result of the comprehensive nature of patient management, treatment of patients will continue over more than one semester of the program.  By the end of this course, the student should be conversant in performing diagnosis and formulating treatment plan of cases requiring comprehensive complex restorative dentistry.  In addition, he/she should have started the treatment of some of the assigned patients. Students should maintain the records of all treated clinical cases for the portfolio to be submitted at the end of the clinical practice component of the program.
