CERTIFICATE in DENTAL EQUIPMENT REPAIR TECHNICIAN – IDL 435 Clock Hours / 24.0 Semester Credits 24 Weeks Full Time / 48 Weeks Part Time PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Dental Equipment Repair Technician (DRT) certificate program is founded on equipping students with the essential knowledge and skills required in the dental equipment repair field. The curriculum covers many topics, ensuring a well- rounded educational experience and outcome, beginning with basic electronics. Students will gain a foundational understanding of electronic concepts and components crucial for diagnosing and repairing dental equipment. Additionally, the program includes in -depth lessons on Ohm's Law, principles of electrical circuits, and their applications in troubleshooting and repair tasks. Safety and infection control are also critical components of the program and are focused throughout the curriculum. This ensures that technicians are well-versed in maintaining a safe and sterile dental environment for patients, dentists, and technicians. This knowledge is vital for patient safety and regulatory compliance. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The Dental Equipment Repair Technician (DRT) certificate program provides in -depth training on the operation, maintenance, and repair of dental -specific equipment essential for accurate diagnostics and patient care. It includes instructions on compressor and vacuum systems, emphasizing their maintenance and repair. Additionally, the curriculum covers sterilizer maintenance to ensure a sterile environment and prevention of infections. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES This program curriculum is designed to generate graduates who are competent to: • Define the role of a Dental Repair Technician (DRT) within the dental healthcare environment, including their responsibilities and professional scope. • Students will be able to explain Ohm's Law, define its components (voltage, current, resistance), and apply it to calculate the voltage, current, or resistance in a circuit using appropriate formulas. • Recognize and describe common electrical components such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, and transistors. • Students will demonstrate proficiency in identifying these components both visually and through schematic symbols. • Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the principles underlying direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) electrical systems. • Understand the principles of lockout-tagout (LOTO) procedures. • Identify and interpret safety data sheets (SDS). Recognize color coding for gases and hazardous signage in healthcare and dental clinic settings. • Identification of Safety Hazards. Identify potential safety hazards related to environmental factors. Identify potential safety hazards related to macro/micro electrical situations. Identify potential safety hazards related to chemical exposure. • Demonstrate a foundational understanding of dental anatomy, identifying key structures and their relevance to equipment maintenance and repair. • Exhibit proficiency in identifying and describing various types of dental handpieces, including their components and basic functions. • Differentiate between different dental specialists and delineate their respective roles within the dental practice, facilitating effective communication and collaboration. • Attain a basic comprehension of hydraulics and pneumatics, including the principles governing fluid and gas transmission systems commonly found in dental equipment. • Describe the units of pressure utilized in dental equipment maintenance, such as PSI, Pascal, and Bar, and demonstrate the ability to convert between these units as necessary for troubleshooting and calibration purposes • Identify the essential components and layout of a dental clinic and understand the importance of ergonomics, sterilization, and infection control in the clinic setup. Explain the basic principles of ultrasonic cleaning. • Differentiate between wet ring and dry vacuum systems in design, operation, maintenance requirements, and suitability for dental applications. • Assess and identify common issues, such as loss of suction or water contamination, and implement appropriate troubleshooting steps to resolve them. • Perform routine maintenance tasks on the wet ring and dry vacuum systems, including cleaning filters, checking oil levels (if applicable), and inspecting for leaks to ensure optimal performance and longevity. • Adhere to safety regulations when working with vacuum systems, including ensuring proper ventilation, practicing electrical safety, and using personal protective equipment. • Demonstrate knowledge of proper installation and setup • Describe the proper use and maintenance of ultrasonic cleaners in a dental setting. Understand the importance of sterilization in infection control. Identify different types of sterilization methods used in dental clinics. • Describe the procedures for testing the effectiveness of sterilizers. Describe the proper handling and recycling procedures for amalgam waste. • Provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to troubleshoot, maintain, and repair a variety of dental delivery equipment. • Provide in-depth knowledge in dental x-ray systems, dental chairs, delivery units, and concludes with a practical assessment to demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills.
