1.2 Course Introduction

This course is designed to provide the initial clinical general dental practice knowledge and

experience which is the basis of dental practice following graduation.

The course follows on from the prior course in Dental Practice in Year 2, and stresses

diagnosis, treatment planning and provision of clinical care to adult and adolescent patients.

It also introduces patient management.

The course extends over 2 semesters, for a total of 28 weeks (which includes a one week

Block Teaching intensive prior to both semester one and two). Students are involved in

continuous patient care from week 2 of semester 1.

Students are expected to apply the skills and knowledge learnt in the pre-clinical

environment, including preventive oral care and intra-coronal restorative dentistry, to the

clinical care of patients.

Students will gain skills in diagnosis, preventive oral health care, intra-coronal restorative

dentistry, basic endodontics and pain management. They will develop an understanding of the

ethical, behavioural and communication principles governing the delivery of oral health careto individuals.

Course Changes in Response to Previous Student Feedback

This course is re-designed and now contains material relevant only to Clinical Dentistry. Its

companion DENT3050 is a new course whose content was split from the previous course

DENT3022 in 2010. This was based on both student and staff feedback.

acknowledging that performance should improve as the year progresses and with increased

experience in the clinic.

During both semesters, a sessional clinical grade will be awarded to each student. Gradingwill not be given for individual patients but for the work of the session and will reflect

clinical performance as described above. Grading will be awarded on a scale of points

ranging from 1 to 10 as explained in the Course Guide and in Criteria and Marking.

4/23

The calculation of the final mark is not only derived by dividing the total points gained by the

number of sessions worked but also takes into account the quantity of work performed over

the year.

Marks will be entered in a record book at the end of each session. This book is held in Clinic

5 and is available for perusal by students at all times. It is suggested that any query a student

may have concerning the grading given for the session should be discussed without delay

with the Clinical Supervisors concerned.

penalty.






Required work: Students are required to (A) satisfactorily complete at least 4 units, which

would normally be comprised oftwo partial chrome denture units, and one F/F patient with 2

units, or the equivalent, and (B) to treat the allocated patients for assessments, reviews,

relines and repairs. Attendance at rostered clinical sessions is compulsory. Each clinicalsession will be graded on a 1-7 basis.

Students who miss more than 2 clinical sessions during the year because of illness or other

reasons (even if notified) will be required to undertake "catch-up" sessions during the

semester, subject to clinic space and staff availability.

Students must pass both the clinical and the theory components to gain a passing grade.

A formal component of the assessment for clinical work in DENT3030 is a warning card

system. Any of the following will result in the student receiving a "yellow card" status ontheir sessional grading sheet:

a. Late attendance to the clinic by more than 10 minutes.

b. Unwillingness to see allocated patients for reviews, adjustments and relines.

c. Not entering the correct ADA item codes on the patient's record.

d. Breach of OH&S or infection control requirements in the clinic or laboratory.

Once at "yellow card" status, the next infringement in the year will move the student to "red

card" status, at which point they will be allocated a fail (a grade of 2 out of 7) for that week's

clinical session, and will be required to submit a written statement to the course coordinator

regarding how they intend to rectify their behaviour.

For the theory examinations, all material presented in lectures in DENT3030 is assessable.

The theory exams in DENT3030 will consider all lecture and seminar information from the

preceeding course DENT2032 as assumed knowledge.


Students should note that where formal written examinations are held at the end of semester

as part of course assessment, students must pass these examinations (regardless of

weighting) in order to pass the course. This is a School wide policy and over-rides anycourse-specific policy in relation to passing end of semester examinations.

Course Description: Basic instruction in laboratory & clinical techniques in paediatric

dentistry & orthodontics.


Dentistry for children is an essential component of general practice. Sound laboratory

techniques and basic clnical methods form strong foundations for patient care in paediatricdentistry and orthodontics. A basic undergraduate course in dentistry for children would

provide these important foundations for general clinical practice.

Course Changes in Response to Previous Student Feedback

Changes have been made to this course based on student feedback and peer review mainly in

relation to orthodontic preclinical exercises. PBL/case based exercises have been introduced.

greater than 90% number of "competent" and/or "outstanding" grades relative to the

number of "unacceptable " and/or "marginal" grades in order to pass the clinical component

in orthodontics irrespective of the marks obtained in the other assessment items. Non-

attendance without appropriate prior notification will result in an unacceptable grade for

the orthodontic clinical session.

Please note that it is the responsibility of the individual student to present their clinical

attendance folder to the orthodontic clinical supervisor at the end of each orthodontic clinical

session for confirmation of attendance and grading. In the event that the clinical attendance

folder is not signed off by the orthodontic clinical supervisor, an unacceptable grade will be

recorded for that session.

Course Description: Interface between basic science & clinical dentistry,

provides sound clinical understanding that underpins diagnosis of important oral

diseases. Applied microbiology & immunology of importance in oral diseases,

outline of cellular & molecular basis of health & disease, systemic disease

conditions relevant to dental practice.

Intro: The course is designed to provide an interface between basic science and clinicaldentistry. It commences with a focus on applied microbiology and immunology of

importance in oral diseases. This is followed by an outline of the cellular and molecular basis

of health and disease, and the course progresses through the study of a number of systemic

disease conditions relevant to dental practice. The knowledge obtained will provide a

foundation for the move into clinical dentistry. The emphasis of this course is to provide the

student with a sound clinical understanding that underpins diagnosis of important oral

diseases.

2.1 Course Aims

DENT3062 Oral Diagnostic Sciences I comprises the basic diagnostic sciences required by

students in the third year of the BDSc program. It is a natural extension from DENT2052 and

DENT2062, and links with the basic surgical sciences stream DENT3072 Oral Surgical

Sciences I that runs parallel to and concurrent with this course.

This course is focused on the applied and clinical importance of microbiology, immunology,

pathology, and molecular genetics. It emphasizes the relevance of the diagnostic process,

irrespective of the subject matter covered. Components of this course including Applied

Clinical Microbiology & Immunology, and Cellular & Molecular Pathology are delivered

highlighting their "diagnostic" importance.

DENT3062 builds on the basic sciences delivered in the second year of the BDSc program

DENT2052 and DENT2062. The content of these courses is assumed background knowledge

for DENT3062.

Subject areas will include:

1. Applied Clinical Microbiology & Immunology

Acquisition of plaque, formation of biofilms

Oral ecology and microbiota

Oral diseases: including caries, periodontal diseases, salivary diseases

Viral pathogens including HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis Fungal infections relating to dentistry

Immunodeficiency

Immunological disease and immune based diagnostic tests

Immunotherapy

2. Cellular & Molecular Pathology

Inflammation and repair

Neoplasia

Thrombosis, embolism and infarction

Respiratory pathology

Cardiovascular and rheumatic heart disease

Specific granulomatous diseases

Gastrointestinal and hepatic pathology

Bone, renal and endocrine pathology


20/23

Blood and haematopoietic pathology

Normal histology of relevant tissues and organs

Hereditary conditions and dentistry

Techniques for identification of defective genes

Genetic engineering and dental practice

2.2 Learning Objectives

After successfully completing this course you should be able to:

1 Understand the role of infectious agents in oral disease etiology, and the basic tests

undertaken to recognise them, and be able to relate this to the body's response in

immunological and pathological terms.

2 Understand the cellular and molecular basis of oral disease, and demonstrate this

understanding by analysing relevant clinical problems and explaining a patients response to

infectious agents, and other immunological diseases and abnormalities.

3 Recognise the anatomical basis for common, dentally relevant, diseases of the principal

systems of the body, and understand, apply, and explain the oral manifestations of systemic

diseases and how the oral tissues are affected.4 Understand the cellular and molecular basis of genetic disease, and genetic disorders that

affect the oro-facial region, and be able to analyse and explain these disorders.

5 Communicate with medical and dental colleagues on morbidity and terminal pathology,

from a basic understanding of the more common general systemic diseases and their

histopathology, and be able to relate this to normal

ASSESSMENT IN THIS COURSE IS CRITERIA AND STANDARDS

REFERENCED.

It is a requirement that each student attend classes, practical sessions, and group

presentations. Specific criteria and standards will be provided for each assessment task

throughout the year before the task is undertaken. Each student/group will receive a marking

sheet detailing the assessment criteria and standards before the assessment task, and will

receive the completed marking sheet at the conclusion of the assessment task.

Students will be provided with appropriate feedback on their work in a timely manner.

It is strongly recommended that each student attend the lectures and seminars. These will

form the basis of assessable work. If a student is noted to be absent from more than 2

lectures/seminars/group presentations per semester without appropriate cause and approval,

the course coordinator will seek consultation with the student to remedy the situation, and if

this persists without reason, the student will be deemed not to have completed the necessary

tasks to satisfy this course.
