Year 2:
Subject Areas:
1. Treatment of periodontal disease
2. Prevention advice/Maintenance of Oral Health
3. Management of patients with complex medical needs
4. Restorative techniques in adults and children
Aims:
Throughout this unit existing periodontal and restorative skills are developed in the clinical environment and will incorporate the management of patients with complex medical needs. Following on from development of clinical skills and techniques, clinical practice is performed in a variety of clinics and departments to expand clinical knowledge and experience in the care of adults and children
The unit will encompass undertaking restorative techniques, enabling the student to recognise dental caries, and other oral and dental disease and provide appropriate preventive care.
Intended Learning Outcomes
Teaching methods include:
Teaching will use a blended learning approach delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous activities. Students will be expected to engage with all learning.
Summative assessment
1. Periodontal Case (100% of unit total)
The students will write a case report for a periodontal patient they have treated, describing, discussing and reflecting on the treatment given. The student will then participate in a 30 minute face to face discussion with two examiners where the case will be discussed and the student's demonstration of achievement of the required learning outcomes will be explored. This will include discussion of the case and a number of standardised questions to meet learning outcomes above.
Formative assessment
Students are supported in their learning by a variety of directed formative assessments with which they must engage within this unit. Overall performance will be reviewed and discussed at the School Progress committee at regular meetings x 1 per term.
1. Continuous Clinical Assessment through CAFS e-portfolio
Clinical assessment and student reflection for each patient seen, graded with feedback from staff and patients.
Marks obtained in formative assessments above do not contribute to the overall unit mark but failure to complete by the stated end of term deadlines will be raised at the Progress Committee, and may be a barrier to progression.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. ORDS20026).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
