Subject Description | This subject is comprised of three modules. Oral Biology II expands on the common oral diseases introduced in Oral Biology I, again emphasisingthe prevention of these diseases. Human Development and Behaviour IV continues the theme of normal growth and dental/skeletal maturation and introduces common soft tissue pathology, referring to causation, natural history and clinical appearance of the diseases. Dental Materials Science and Conservative Dentistry III expands on the work undertaken in DMS&CD II (under Dental Practice 2A), with special reference to materials used in operative or surgical interventions for both cariology and periodontology. Towards the end of Dental Practice 2B, the diagnosis, treatment planning and provision for dental caries and periodontal diseases are integrated; the theoretical, practical and clinical activities of the three modules therefore focus on a more holistic approach in provision of oral health care. |
Assessment | One 3-hour written examination at the end of the semester; continuing practical and clinical work; written work of no more than 1500 words and PBL tutor assessment. |
