DENT 2005AHO - Dental Science and Practice II Part 1

Teaching Hospitals - Semester 1 - 2016

This stream has a patient care focus and builds on the knowledge acquired in first year. The aim is to develop an understanding of the changes that occur to the oral cavity when an imbalance develops in the oral ecosystem. The emphasis will be to maintain a healthy balance through prevention and minimal restoration where necessary. By working through a series of interactive learning activities, students will develop and integrate knowledge relating to evidence-based patient care including clinical skills and professional behaviours. These integrated learning activities will be supported by class meetings, laboratory, tutorial and clinical sessions. Learning will also be supported by independent study and discussion of findings in class. Students will work in a collaborative environment to learn to critically evaluate themselves, and plan and implement strategies for improvement. The stream emphasises the scientific basis of dentistry by integrating knowledge of the structure and function of the body, especially of the head and neck region, and also aspects of microbiology, immunology and pathology, with an emphasis on developing the skills to examine, assess risk and systematically manage healthy patients with minor oral conditions. There is a strong emphasis on the acquisition of manual dexterity skills relating to operative dentistry while building on knowledge relating to a preventive approach to oral health. Students will further their experience in behavioural science by examining and managing patients.

    Specific Course Requirements
    Equipment Required

    Dissection kit:
    This kit is required for learning laboratories in Anatomy in semester 2. Details will be provided during semester 1.

    Extracted natural teeth:
    You will need to have your natural tooth manikins that were constructed in first year during semester 2 for second year operative technique sessions. Please ensure you keep the manikins moist in water. Please remove your magnets from the models prior to storage to avoid rust. Do not let the teeth dry out as they will become brittle and unusable.

    Laboratory coat:
    You need to wear a coat in all learning laboratories in Dental Science and Practice II. You are required to wear this during your laboratory sessions, to conform with HW&S regulations.

    Clinic coat:
    You need to wear a clean and ironed clinic coat during clinic in Dental Science and Practice II.

    Protective glasses:
    You are required to wear protective glasses during your learning laboratories and in the clinic sessions, that conform with 最新糖心Vlogn HW&S regulations. The eyewear should be close fitting and not have gaps at the side of the eyes or above the brow. Students who wear prescription glasses need to purchase an overshield.

    Dental Loupes:
    Dental loupes play a vital role in the delivery of a high standard of dental care by improving vision for greater accuracy in diagnoses and in providing greater precision in operative dental procedures in general and specialist areas of dentistry. Correctly fitted dental loupes allow improved posture with less eye strain facilitating healthy musculo-skeletal functioning. It is highly recommended that students purchase dental loupes during second year of the BDS program. Dental loupes must conform to the 最新糖心Vlogn Standards in terms of HW&S.

    Instrument Kit:
    The dental instruments purchased for Dental Science and Practice I are also required for use in 2nd, 3rd and 4thyr for operative technique exercises.

    Columbia Models:
    Plastic Columbia teeth, gums and bases are required. During 2nd yr additional plastic teeth will also be required for additional procedures. It is the responsibility of students to ensure they have adequate teeth prior to all operative technique laboratory sessions (as outlined in the simulated clinic program).

    Practice Blocks and Wax Carving Teeth:
    Practice blocks and wax carving teeth will be required as outlined in the simulation clinic program and advised by coordinator.
    Small Group Discovery Experience

    Student learning from the SGDE activities involves the following processes as part of participating in the ILAs:
    • learning the systematic scientific approach to patient investigation, ie, consistent with students current and future professional practice;
    • identifying, critiquing and referencing relevant evidence derived from the literature and interactions with School researchers;
    • researching answers to questions they identify using this evidence related to clinical, population health, behavioural and biodental sciences.

    As a result of their research, students develop, structure and apply their knowledge so they can understand their patient’s situation and recommend appropriate care.

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
