DOH242 Dentistry 2B (Removable Prosthodontics, Restorative Dentistry, Introductory Occlusion) (12)
Abstract
This subject comprises three distinct components and is designed to develop student understanding and competence in three fields of everyday significance to clinical dentistry. The practical aspects of the course will be carried out in a simulation clinic, a dental technical laboratory and in a dental clinic. In the Removable Prosthodontic component, by way of lectures and practical sessions, the key topics and the clinical and laboratory steps in providing a removable partial denture for a patient will be covered. The materials science section will include some basic materials science background relevant to Dentistry and, in particular, to this component. The advanced Restorative Dentistry component will build on the extensive knowledge and skills attained during the DOH241 subject. This component will emphasize the use of composite resin in posterior teeth and its use in large restorations in anterior teeth. Lectures will support and amplify the practical work. The Occlusion component introduces students to a key discipline within clinical dentistry which impacts widely on all aspects of patient treatment. This component will introduce students to the physiology of the temporo-mandibular joint and its interaction with muscles and the dentition.

Learning OutcomesUpon successful completion of this subject, students should:
# be able to demonstrate continuing expansion of performance (within the simulated environment) of a range of restorative procedures;
# be able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the clinical and research background supporting posterior composite resin restorations;
# be able to demonstrate preclinical competence in posterior composite restorations and in large anterior composite resin restorations;
# be able to demonstrate understanding of the principles in the provision of a removable partial prosthesis for a dental patient;
