Introduction to demographic and the emphasis is on the use of demographic materials and methods for planning, policy analysis, and evaluative research in public health. Emphasis should be placed on the demographic features of the Nigerian population, its size, composition and distribution should be highlighted. Response of demography to mortality, fertility and migration. Health need of each population group and health planning in relation to demography. The course gives an overview of the Nigerian population policies. Trends in general population growth are featured prominently in the course. Topics to cover include: sources and quality of data from census, special surveys, and other vital registration systems. Students are to present the descriptive statistics and graphics with report writing and submit assigned projects.

Explain the various principles of sharpening hand instruments such as lubrication of the Arkansans stones, the firm grip of the Arkansans stones and many others. Sharpen various dental instruments. Clean and sterilize hand instruments; Preserve and store hand instruments: Identify the equipment needed in the dental surgery such as dental chair, dental unit, compressor, steriliser and many others. Carry out simple maintenance of the equipment above such as lubricating cleaning and many others.

Identification of the appropriate instruments for examination of the oral cavity such as dental (mouth) mirror, periodontal probe, other probes, tweezers. Set the instruments identified. Reflect, retract and protect parts of the mouth using dental mirror. Determine the depth of gum loss using the periodontal probe. Determine presence of tooth decay using other probes. Transfer materials to and from the oral cavity using tweezers. Identify the appropriate instruments for gross scaling such as jacquets 1,2 and 3, hoes, chisel, gross excavators and many others. Set the instruments identified ready for use. Apply the jacquets 1, 2, and 3 appropriately. Apply the hoes appropriately. Apply the chisels appropriately. Apply the gross excavators appropriately. Apply other instruments for gross scaling. Identify appropriate instruments for fine scaling such as drury scalars, fine excavators, chisel (fine), curettes, sickles and many others. Set the instruments identified ready for use. Apply the drury scalars appropriately. Apply the fine excavators appropriately. Apply the line chisels appropriately. Apply the curettes appropriately.
