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.Unless your programme is designed to be delivered fully online, your programme and modules will be delivered predominantly on campus. These teaching activities will be supported by the use of digital tools to enhance your learning and experience. The catalogue provides details of your module and the teaching methods used to deliver your module (for example, lecture, seminar, tutorial, practical). It does not necessarily provide you with information about the mode of delivery for specific learning activities on your module (whether these will be on campus or delivered digitally). Information about the delivery mode for learning and teaching activities for your modules will be published in the timetable and in the Minerva area for your modules. You can access your personalised timetable through Minerva or our UniLeeds app on your mobile device. We sometimes need to adapt our teaching to take account of developments in the subject, in response to new research and current affairs for example, and on occasion we may need to adapt our delivery modes too. You will be kept informed of any proposed changes to the content and delivery of your modules as described in the module catalogue and we’ll make sure you understand and agree the reasons for any changes before they are introduced.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.
Methods of assessment
Coursework
| Assessment type | Notes | % of formal assessment |
| Practical | Restorative technique including simulated pulpotomy and crown preparation (progressional). | 0.00 |
| Assignment | Case Base Assignment: 2-3 structured cases 2000 words. | 100.00 |
| ------------------------- | Tooth morphology spotter, identification of primary and permanent teeth (progressional). | 0.00 |
| Total percentage (Assessment Coursework) | 100.00 | |
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.
