This study session helped me immensely, not only was the information easier to understand but also this session acted as a good refresher to test my knowledge and memory. Throughout my studying I realized there were some parts of the material that I didn’t fully grasp the first time around which allowed me the opportunity to go back re-read and bridge all gaps regarding both topics.

I decided to purchase additional cue cards to help supplement my root morphology learning as the notes I made were great, yet I felt I needed something more. These are great because not only is the information all in one place but also because I can have someone else help me test my knowledge as it’s all easily organized. In terms of the TMJ I went back through the chapter in the textbook and completed the diagrams after to test my knowledge and keep as study notes.

I know this help expand my knowledge because prior to reviewing the chapter I would have never been able to fully label those diagrams without looking. Due to this study session, I feel more confident during sub-gingival scaling because I have a better understand of each tooth's root morphology. This knowledge will help me remove calculus more efficiently and effectively during my debriding appointments with my clients. I will apply my knowledge learned about the TMJ when it comes to clients concerns and extra oral exams because I have a deeper understanding of how the TMJ works and potential issues. All this information I will apply throughout my journey at Niagara College and well beyond into private practice.
