DOH300 Oral Health Sciences 3 (16)
Abstract
This is the final oral science subject which further develops the knowledge needed to differentiate healthy tissue from unhealthy tissue. It focuses on advanced oral care related to high need patients and includes managing oral care for patients with systemic disease. Advanced clinical pathology will be examined. Students use a case-based approach to inform their decision making to justify specific health care decisions. This subject uses a evidenced based approach to guide the student to provide up-to-date currency in practice. |
