Module summary
‘Child Centred Dentistry 2’ (‘CCD2’) continues the focus on the management, diagnosis and treatment of the child patient, leading on from ‘CCD1’, albeit with an increased knowledge and level of clinical ability than in the preceding year of study. 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 competence will be emphasised, in conjunction with information on when and where to refer patients for specialist care. There will be theoretical content in relation to management of the orthodontic emergency.Objectives
This module aims to:Help the student to differentiate normal from abnormal physical and psychological development of the child;
Show how to positively influence the behaviours of the child dental patient;
Discuss effective history-taking, examination, investigation and diagnosis of a child's oral health problems;
Gain agreement of appropriate therapies for the full range of problems in paediatric dentistry;
Promote discussion of effective communication strategies with the patient and their carers;
Scrutinise ways in which a scientifically-based programme of the prevention of oral disease can be applied;
Present regimens for the treatment of pulpally-affected primary and young permanent teeth;
Enable discussion of oro-facial trauma and the recognition of non-accidental injury;
Develop understanding of the relevance of facial growth to orthodontics;
Give an insight into the developing permanent occlusion, so that selected malocclusions can be successfully intercepted;
Rehearse the processes of referral and the recognition of paediatric and orthodontic cases that may need action
Present an outline of specialist orthodontic services;
Encourage the analysis of the role of the dental practitioner in the management of medically, mentally, physically, socially, and/or emotionally disadvantaged members of the population
Learning outcomes
by the end of this module, you should be able to:
1. Critically determine how to diagnose, plan for and execute a full range of preventive and restorative oral care to children, taking into account medical and social factors of relevance
2. Distinguish how to appropriately assess and respond to children presenting with oral pathologies and dental trauma
3. Successfully demonstrate how to diagnose normal dental occlusion and malocclusion, including aetiology
4. Judge the most critical times for orthodontic assessment in general dental practice
5. Critically determine when and how to refer patients for specialist treatment appropriately, both in paediatric dentistry and orthodontics
6. Differentiate among the methods of treatment for orthodontic emergencies
Skills outcomes
The module will encourage development of clinical knowledge and understanding to support the development of the skills of related clinical dentistry (practised in Clinical Practice 4 DSUR505M)
