This class will review dental implant component materials and design and how to choose safe biological compatibility instruments and therapeutic materials.
Course objectives:

Lynn started her clinical career as a Broome County Community College Department of Dental
Hygiene graduate. She received her baccalaureate from Thomas Jefferson University and the
Department of Dental Hygiene and her Master of Science in Dental Hygiene from The University
of Maryland School of Dentistry. Lynn has held Dental Hygiene faculty appointments at Thomas
