Course description

Through further experience in general dental practice this course develops the skills, knowledge and understanding acquired in Dental Practice I, II and III A. Emphasis remains on the delivery of oral care for adults through preventive oral, simple periodontal and simple restorative care but with integration of removable prosthetics. Students will consolidate skills and attain competence in general oral examination, recognition and diagnosis of common dental and oral conditions, comprehensive oral care planning for simple general dental needs. Students will provide preventive oral health care, periodontal care, intra-coronal restorations and dental analgesia as well as removable prostheses for patients with simple prosthetic needs and simple root canal therapy. Each week students will undertake 6 hours of direct patient care and 3 hours of competency building activities such as lectures, seminars, case-based discussions and workshops. This course assumes approximately 3 hours of self-directed learning each week.
