The method of delivery of knowledge would be mainly via lectures and seminars with emphasis on marked student participation. The students will also get the chance to practice their learning on restorative patients. Some of the topics covered are:
- Dental materials
- Complete dentures
- Partial dentures – design and provision
- Caries
- Principles of tooth preparation
- Restoration of root filled teeth
- Planning and designing bridges
- Implant dentistry
- Tooth surface loss
The aim of the clinical units is to give the student an understanding of the scientific basis of fixed and removable prosthodontics, with particular emphasis on current theories relevant to the diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical management of adult patients.
The principles of feedback are as follows:
-
feedback should be provided in a timely manner that helps students understand (i) the marks or grades they have received for work submitted and (ii) how they might improve their performance in the future;
-
feedback should be as personal as possible to the individual student to enable reflection on individual skills and performance;
-
students have a responsibility to consider feedback given on their work, to seek to understand it, and to act on it.
