Syllabus

This module focuses on the provision of multi unit fixed prosthodontic restorations.
The student will discover how to design and construct a variety of multi unit restorations in a range of materials.
They will develop the skills acquired in Fixed Prosthodontics Simple to construct more complex restorations and to improve their ability to produce restorations that mimic natural tooth form.
The module will build on the students understanding of simple all ceramic restorations and expand their awareness of the range of methods used to produce these restorations.
The student will explore the use of dental implants and precision attachments in multi unit restorations and gain skills in post ceramic soldering.
The module will allow the student to strengthen and develop their expertise in their chosen specialist field.

Total hours (100hr per 10 credits)			250.00

Private study

4 hours reading per lecture
2 hour preparation per seminar
20hours information research
20 hours revision for examination
Students are asked to pre read lecture notes in preparation for lecture. Highlight areas that require greater discussion. Students are asked to present small topics at seminars. The information research time allows for further reading around the topics to gain a greater insight into the topics covered. The time given for examination revision is the estimated time required to obtain a good result in both the practical and written examination.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

There are 2 formative assessments, an essay of 1000 words and a small group poster presentation.
The titles are given at the beginning of semester 2 to allow the students to research the topics both individually and as small groups the date for submission is staggered so as to not overload the student

Methods of assessment

Exams

Exam type	Exam duration	% of formal assessment
Standard exam (closed essays, MCQs etc)	2 hr	40.00
Practical Exam / OSCE	4 hr	60.00
Total percentage (Assessment Exams)		100.00

Normally resits will be assessed by the same methodology as the first attempt, unless otherwise stated
