The emphasis on the preventive principles of dentistry is introduced in this module together with an introduction to dental disease, dental caries and periodontal disease.
The module covers systemic conditions that may modify the response of the patient to disease and its treatment. This knowledge is interlinked with recording and monitoring of disease, prior to, during and after treatment. It also links the treatment of specific oral diseases. It is vital that the student recognise their role in treating and maintaining dental disease and the concept of the working as part of the dental team with regard to patient care.
