This course provides foundational knowledge for those interested in developing a better understanding of basic dental terminology. The course will define and explore clinical and non-clinical terms commonly used in endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, dental radiography, and dental practice administration.
The course is organized by specialty so participants may personalize their experience and focus their learning as needed. Identifying and applying these terms will help the learner to become a better communicator and more effective oral healthcare team member, to prepare for future studies, and to act as a more informed oral health advocate for themselves or others.

Very easy to read and follow. Some questions on exams used abbreviations for covered materials that made it difficult to answer correctly because I wasn’t told to remember the acronyms.
