Module summary

This is the first of two modules in Child Centred Dentistry in which you will focus on the oral diagnosis, management and treatment of the child patient. In this module you will gain knowledge of the general development of the child (physiological/psychological) and the development of the craniofacial complex and dentition.The module emphasises your learning with respect to Behavioural management to enable future provision of care, There is also an emphasis on communication with both the patient and the parents/carers.Your learning will cover the diagnosis of common oral conditions, formulation of treatment plans and simulated dental treatment.

Objectives

The objective of this module is to further develop students‘ knowledge, understanding and skills in relation to the dental care of children.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this module, students should be able to:

1. Understand differences between normal and abnormal physical and psychological development of the child, and the rights of the child in society.

2. Diagnose health problems in children, plan (and simulate) their treatment.

3. Understand effective communication with a child‘s parents/carers.

4. Understand behavioural management techniques and the psychological principles on which they are constructed.

5. Understand craniofacial development, including tooth development, the biological processes of tooth movement, eruption and exfoliation.

6. Identify primary and permanent teeth from their morphological characteristics.

Skills outcomes
Relevant simulated clinical dental techniques.

Private study

Students will be directed towards appropriate resources (textbooks, clinical guidelines and policy documents) via the Reading List to reinforce their learning from lectures and practical sessions and to aid in their assessment which is expected to be evidence-based and referenced appropriately.

Opportunities for Formative Feedback

There are a number of monitoring and feedback opportunities throughout the module:

Individual feedback is provided at each practical session.

Students with difficulties with progress during the module are encouraged to seek advice from the Module Leader or their Personal Tutor.

Reflective Assignment, this will include 2-3 structured, simulated cases (description, photographs and radiographs) with questions on knowledge, diagnosis, treatment planning (both preventive and restorative). The answers will be expected to be referenced and evidence based, with an element of reflection on the challenges of treatment planning and the different treatment modalities that are possible. Word count will be 2000 in total.
