This module will detail the steps required to assess a patient for their suitability for implant treatment and arrive at a provisional diagnosis. The further special tests and information which may be required to arrive at a final diagnosis and the development of a treatment plan. Aspects to be covered will include the consideration of the patient's expectations, medical history and contraindications to dental implant treatment.
Lectures and small group teaching. Distance learning package delivered via Blackboard including additional podcast lectures/videos and directed reading.
This unit runs concurrently with the Clinical Practice attachment Unit and is closely linked with it, teaching is therefore supplemented by one to one teaching and observation of clinical practice.
Methods of assessment - Summative and formative
Formative assessment
During the study day via direct verbal feedback, particularly during group treatment planning sessions.
Summative Assessments
Written assignments:
1. Treatment planning case study. Structured written assignment of real patient case, highlighting patient assessment and treatment planning skills. 50% of unit mark
2.Case presentation. Case presentation of a patient case. 50% of unit mark

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. DENTM9008).
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.
