Case Studies in Dental Hygiene
Unique in content and approach, this text is devoted entirely to case
situations that provide opportunities for problem-based learning in multiple dental hygiene sciences at any point along the learning continuum—from
beginning to advanced. The text's 10 diverse case-based learning scenarios help
students learn to apply basic knowledge to client care, develop critical
thinking skills, and link their classroom learning to real-world experiences
they may encounter in clinical practice. Case study work will also prepare them
for success on national, regional and state examinations which have a client
care focus. Each chapter contains one complete case scenario with accompanying
questions categorized both by difficulty (basic or complex) and by dental
hygiene discipline—making it a complete module that may be introduced or
revisited in any order and at any time during the curriculum.
