Alan W. Budenz, MS, DDS, MBA

2. Changes in the ODTP Process
ODTP Step 1
New July 2018:
Students need to complete an X-ray Interpretation form in axiUm. This should be done BEFORE the first appointment for all new patients, or, if new x-rays are taken on recall patients, during Step 1.
Faculty need to review the form and x-rays, and approve the form
The Head & Neck Exam Form (ODH&N) now requires faculty review and approval

3. ODTP Quarterly Minimum Clinical Experiences
Minimum Clinical Experiences: combined D0150 & D0120 procedures completed by the end of each Quarter of the Senior year
DDS: Summer Quarter – IDS: Summer Quarter – 12
Autumn Quarter – Autumn Quarter – 16
Winter Quarter – Winter Quarter – 20
Spring Quarter – Spring Quarter – 24

4. ODTP Quarterly Clinical SUMMATIVE Competency
You will be required to complete and pass 3 of these in your Senior Year
One Competency is required to be passed per quarter for the Summer, Autumn, and Winter Quarters
This comprises 20% of your quarterly COH 318 & 319 Clinical Management and Judgment course grade assigned by your GPL
Failure to complete and pass this Competency will result in an INC grade for the quarter, and the loss of one letter grade once remediated
INC grades MUST be remediated within the following quarter. If not, the INC becomes an F grade

5. ODTP Quarterly Clinical SUMMATIVE Competency
The goal is to assess each student’s ability to identify and evaluate patient data and clinical findings; formulate diagnoses; and plan treatment interventions from a multidisciplinary perspective.
This is a teaching tool and an assessment tool that will move your ODTP skill set forward towards consistent competency.
This is why one Competency is required to be taken in each quarter: to demonstrate continued growth and consistency.

6. ODTP Quarterly Clinical SUMMATIVE Competency
Patient Criteria:
A new patient D0150 or a recall patient D0120
The treatment plan must involve at least 3 of the 6 disciplines: Perio, Endo, Operative (direct or indirect), Fixed & Rem Pros, Ortho, OS
Missing or will be missing 2 or more teeth (excluding 3rd molars)
Mounted study casts are MANDATORY
At least some form of periodontitis with some probing depths of 5 mm or more
All factors must be completed and scored, otherwise the test case is incomplete and doesn’t count

7. ODTP Quarterly Clinical SUMMATIVE Competency
(REQUIRED)

8. ODTP Quarterly Clinical SUMMATIVE Competency
To complete a Quarterly Clinical Competency :
Print out the ODTP Clinical Competency SUMMATIVE
Competency form
Have the faculty circle the score for each of the 15 completed factors on the form.
After completing the appointment (these competencies take two appointments), have the faculty enter the scores for all completed Factors into the Quarterly Clinical SUMMATIVE Competency form in axiUm; you should keep the paper copy for your records.

9. The GOAL:
Is competency, proficiency in oral diagnosis and treatment planning
That requires a very intimate and fully integrated knowledge of ALL aspects of dentistry
Our new graduates have a well deserved reputation as competent beginning general practitioners
The hardest clinical skill is to know WHAT to do (or not to do!) and WHEN
I want each of you to be the best diagnosticians this school has ever produced
