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.
