Module summary

Child Centred Dentistry 2 follows on from CCD1 and continues to focus on the management, diagnosis and treatment of the child patient, albeit with an increased knowledge and level of clinical ability. Students will build upon their knowledge of the general and craniofacial developmental aspects of the child. Behaviour management will continue to be emphasised to enable the full range of procedures to be provided to all individuals, as will good communication with both the patient and the parents. Diagnostic and treatment planning skills will be enhanced further as will clinical experience to enable the student to perform the full range of restorative procedures, including the treatment of dental trauma. The student also will develop experience in the diagnosis of malocclusions. The importance of knowing the limits of one's expertise will be emphasised, in conjunction with information on when and where to refer patients for specialist care.
