Submit a 4 page (approx.) template on the geriatric patient. The document attached should be downloaded and saved (see below) to your computer. Fill in all appropriate sections and include 2 references (see below) or sources for your information.
The Wilkins text has excellent general information about each patient type however the template requires details about each heading area. Students should plan on 4-5 sentences per heading. Students will include at least two peer-reviewed references; typically these are journals and not websites (in addition to your required texts) in APA format, for this assignment.

This will be a graded discussion board post and requires each group (15 points for initial post), and individual (10 points for 2 responses) to respond to at least two of the alternate groups with feedback, references REQUIRED for posted information and/or a clinical observation discussed in ALL posts.
The initial posting (worth 15 points) by the group should include all of the subheadings below. I recommend you work together for this section in a collaborative Google Doc BUT post ONLY ONCE for the entire group. So someone should be the “leader” of the group. If you use references please cite them:
periodontal risk (for specific age range)
tobacco use/side effects and oral manifestations
financial concerns (for specific age range)
typical work/family concerns (for specific age range)
restorative needs/requirements for replacement of faulty restorations
insurance accessibility (coverage through work or none)
systemic diseases/health challenges commonly found (for specific age range)
cosmetic concerns (discuss ALL: whitening, veneers, orthodontics, crowns and implants)
childcare issues (as applicable)
aging parents (“sandwich generation” https://www.seniorliving.org/caregiving/sandwich-generation/Links to an external site.)
The initial “group” posting is expected to be 500 words or more by November 17th by 11:59pm.
The individual student responses are expected to be 250 words or more (substantial, new and accurate information added to original post – avoid repeating their information and only complimenting 🙂 which are NOT included in words counted and are due by Monday, November 20th at 11:59pm.

Research Paper
Topic: Talk about the history of Digital panoramic ( x-ray machine that takes digital panoramic images of teeth). Start with the history of film panoramic, then follow with digital. Start with who was the inventor, what year etc.
5 pages:
-1 title page
-3 research paper
-1 Referencesb

Background
According to the American Dental Association (2023):
In 2000, the Surgeon General issued a report on the status of oral health in the US,
recognizing an association between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular health,
stroke, diabetes, and adverse pregnancy outcomes, and calling for more research to
determine whether causation may be established.
Instruction
For this project, you will be answering the call to action placed by the Surgeon General. Your
group will choose which topic/objective you would like to research to determine whether
causation between oral health and systemic health may be established. You will pick an
objective from the Healthy People 2030 website:
https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-da… that correlates with a
topic we are learning from your textbook: Dental Management of the Medically Compromised
Patient. 9th edition. Little, Falace, Miller, Rhodus. Elsevier 2018. ISBN 978-0-323-44355-5.
First Part of Project
Once your topic has been chosen, you and your partner will conduct the research to gather the
appropriate data necessary to draw a conclusion. You will then individually write a 3-5 (not
including title and reference) page paper. APA 7 format with at least 3 references (1 referenceMedically Compromised Special Needs Project

Second Part of Project
Once your research has concluded, you will create an infographic to help your audience
understand the complex concepts between the systemic disorder and oral health based on your
research findings. You and your partner will also create 10 national board style questions on your
topic. You will provide the correct answer for each question along with the rationale for the
answer. The rationale MUST be properly cited to include the source information. The question
must be well written, and appropriate questions. Please limit the amount of easy/simple questions
and strive to develop questions that are challenging , detailed, and will require applied,
developed, and critical thinking.
Putting the Project Together
You and your partner are free to decide how you would like to finalize your project for your in
class presentation. Whether you use PowerPoint, PDF file, a file for your infographic and a
flashcard style presentation for your 10 questions etc that is your choice, but it must be agreed
upon. On your presentation day, your group will have 15 minutes to present. Once you have
completed your presentation, one of you will post the 10 board style questions on the discussion
board titled “10 National Board Style Questions

please create a research paper that talks about Marijuana Abuse only ( do not talk about any other drug or alcohol abuse). use the info in this chapter and you can use some online resources as well. make sure you add all the resources. the paper should be about 6 pages. please address everything about marijuana, like etiology and epidemiology etc…..
