Learn about the dental industry from the inside out
In order to identify when there’s a problem, you first need to know when things are working properly. A detailed understanding of dental anatomy, morphology and physiology is important for every member of the dental team—knowing things like tooth anatomy, structures of the teeth and oral cavity irregularities can help you better identify what’s normal and what may need extra attention. This review course teaches those details and more to help you assist in procedures and serves as excellent preparation for the DANB AMP exam.
The course is an interactive online learning experience broken down into six course modules. You may take one subject at a time or all six at once — how you divide up the course to complete it within your six-month access period is totally up to you. Before, during and after the course, you will complete learner assessments, so you can continually check your progress. You may also go back and review any part of the course at any time and retake your post-course assessment* to make sure you are ready for the DANB AMP exam.
*Questions are not from actual DANB exams, and completing the review course does not guarantee that you will pass the DANB AMP exam.
