Module summary

This course follows from Introduction to the Oral Environment and links to Clinical Skills A in Year 2. It relates the clinical development of the periodontal diseases to concomitant histological, microbiological and biochemical changes. This integrated approach will permit the student to apply understancing of the disease processes, host defences and repair mechanisms to clinical practice.The principles of basic instrumentation and periodontal operative technique skills and simple periodontal indices will be learned, prior to their application in the clinic working on peers. Understanding of good dentist-patient communication skills will be developed in preparation for the introduction to patient care. Principles of diagnosis, periodontal treatment planning and provision of non-surgical periodontal therapy will be covered, incorporating clinical and radiographic interpretation.Other learning opportunities include tutorials and traditional small group teaching in conjunction with self-reflection and peer review. Small/large group practical work provides the opportunity for shared learning and self-directed learning. Some lectures will be given ‘live’, whilst others will be on-line, therefore helping to develop IT literacy

Objectives

On completion of this course, students should be able to:

-understand the development of the periodontal diseases, the nature of host defences and mechanisms for repair;
- understand why good communication is essential in dental practice and to have a working knowledge of the terminology used to describe a variety of communication techniques for listening, questioning and explaining;
- record and evaluate information acquired from a patient

Learning outcomes
On completion of this course, students should be able to:
- be familiar with oral and dental health promotion as specified in the scientific basis of oral health education;
- relate the development of periodontal dieases to:
> clinical and radiographic findings;
> concomitant histological, microbiological and biochemical changes;
- apply an understanding of basic scientific information to clinical practice in terms of host defences, repair and prevention;
- record and evaluate dental and medical information acquired from a patient by:
>performing a history and examination and using simple indices;
> evaluating radiographs for dental disease and recording findings;
- draw up an appropriate treatment plan, recognising the relationship between periodontal status, restorative dentistry and the need for any other dental treatment;
- undertake basic non-surgical periodontal therapy;

- demonstrate an awareness of:
>standards, ethics and team working;
> the role of IT and a variety of learning resources in furthering understanding of the clinical and scientific basis of diseases, defence and repair;
- understand why good communication is essential in dental practice and to have a working knowledge of the terminology used to describe a variety of communication techniques for listening
