Clinical Practice and Outreach 3 (DSUR3017)

This module is not approved as a discovery module

Module summary

The third course in clinical practice and outreach is related closely to the new skills gained in the Clinical Skills B course.These comprise history-taking, examination, investigations, diagnosis, treatment planning and treatment in relation to more complex endodontic problems, restoration of the root-filled tooth, failing restorations and the issue of unrestorability, simple tooth extraction, options for and treatment of the edentulous saddle (both fixed and removable methods). Issues of consent and referral will be discussed. Consolidation of clinical practice will be in relation to periodontology and periodontics (scaling and root debridement, powered and manual) and decision-making in relation to non-operative care for the individual patient presenting with caries, periodontal diseases and tooth wear. Issues in relation to anti-microbial therapy will be considered, together with continued practise of a range of operative procedures covered in Clinical Skills A and clinical practice 2.Radiology and radiography will continue to be integrated into students' learning.

- maintain a high level of infection control throughout all clinical procedures;
- work more effectively with chair-side assistance, acknowledging the role of the dental nurse;
- assist a patient through treatment planning and consent for treatment with guidance from supervisory staff.
