Name of Training Site
Roseman University of Health Sciences, Henderson

What is the mission of your training site?
The goal of the affiliation with the NYU Lutheran Dental Medicine AEGD residency program is to develop patient-centered clinicians with the ability to provide comprehensive oral health care for a wide patient population.

What types of dental services can I expect to perform?
You can expect to learn how to perform a wide variety of dental procedures that extends beyond what is typically covered in dental school. Aside from the “bread and butter” procedures of general dentistry (operative, fixed and removable prosthodontics, etc.), you will be exposed to procedures such as molar endodontics, surgical extraction of third molars, implant placement and restoration, evaluation and treatment of dental emergencies, pain and anxiety control of adult, pediatric, and special needs patients, and much more. Beyond the core program requirements, clinical instruction is catered to what you want to learn more about.

What types of technologies can I expect to use?

• CBCT imaging in the diagnosis and treatment planning of pathology, implant dentistry, endodontics, etc.
• Digital Dentistry through intraoral scanners used for treatment of various fixed and removable prosthodontics, surgical guides, and smile design.
• Intraoral Cameras and State-of-the art dental operatories and equipment, including a dedicated surgical suite.
• Endodontic surgical microscope.
• Several multi-media platforms around the clinic for instruction and patient education.
• Nitrous oxide and oxygen in every operatory with flush-mounted, digital control panels.
