Course description
This course builds on the foundations provided by Dental Practice I and II through experience in general dental practice. Emphasis is on the delivery of oral care for healthy adults through preventive oral, simple periodontal, simple restorative care. Students will consolidate skills and attain competence in general oral examination, recognition and diagnosis of common dental and oral conditions, and care planning for simple general dental needs. Students will provide preventive oral health care, simple periodontal care, intra-coronal restorations, radiographic interpretation, dental analgesia and simple surgical extractions for patients in the Oral Health Centre. Each week students will undertake 6 hours of direct patient care and approximately 6 hours of competency building activities such as lectures, case-based discussions, workshops and preclinical simulation exercises. This course assumes approximately 3 hours of self-directed learning each week.
