A proposal is presented for Periodontics II, a course offered at the Community College of Philadelphia to give the dental hygiene/assisting student an understanding of the disease states of the periodontium and their treatment. A standardized course proposal cover form is given, followed by a statement of purpose for the course, a list of major course goals, a course outline, and a bibliography. Next, eight course-level objectives (CL0) are presented, along with levels of acceptable performance, intermediate performance objectives, and student activities pertaining to each CLO. According to the CLO's, the student will: (1) describe a rationale for the usage of the various models of temporary stabilization; (2) describe at least five types of periodontal surgery; (3) describe the healing of a periodontal surgical wound; (4) describe relationships of mandible to maxilla and of the jaws to the tempromandibular joint; (5) describe at least four roles of minor tooth movement in relation to the broad scope of periodontal treatment; (6) list 10 different types of oral habits; (7) describe the maintenance program indicated for a periodontally treated patient; and (8) list indications for and implications of the uses of drugs in periodontics.
