This subject is designed to continue (from the pre-requisite Year 1 subject) the student's development of understanding of, and competence in, restorative dentistry that form the foundation for clinical work in this field.
The Session 1 preclinical component of this subject comprises intra-coronal tooth preparations and their restoration using direct restorative materials (dental amalgam, composite resin, glass-ionomers). The practical aspects of the subject to be covered in the preclinical simulation clinic will comprise the restoration of the proximal surfaces of anterior and posterior teeth, the restoration of a fractured anterior tooth and the use of complex metallic posterior restorations. Practical aspects related to the management of dental caries will also be covered. The lecture content will support the topics covered in the practical classes and introduce students to a number of concepts of clinical significance which will be further developed in Year 3. The practical part of the Session 1 component of this subject constitutes the key development of manual skills and hand-eye coordination that is required for clinical dentistry.
The Session 2 component of this subject continues on from the Session 1 component and, by means of theoretical content and practical experience, develops understanding of, and competence in, advanced anterior and posterior restorative techniques using composite resin.
