This module will introduce concepts relating to the preservation of bone at an implant site. Students will be shown how to identify cases which may benefit from bone augmentation. Treatment planning concepts will be developed with the use of appropriate diagnostic imaging techniques including the use of CBCT scans. The basic surgical procedures involved in guided bone regeneration will be covered as well as the principles of bone healing and re-growth.
Lectures and small group teaching and practical session using appropriate cadaveric material to develop your skills on guided bone regeneration. Distance learning package delivered via Blackboard including additional podcast lectures/videos and directed reading. This unit will also include a CBCT training day in the computer assisted learning suite. This unit runs concurrently with the Clinical Practice attachment Unit and is closely linked with it, teaching is therefore supplemented by one to one teaching and observation of clinical practice.
Methods of assessment - Summative and formative
Formative assessment
During the study day via direct verbal feedback, particularly during simulated surgery session.
Practical assessments:
1. Hands on guided bone regeneration and suturing skills on appropriate cadaveric material. Assessment of practical skill, flap design, suturing and surgical skills and use of GBR materials.
Summative Assessments
Written assignments:
1. A written assignment on simultaneous augmentation – “guided bone regeneration”
Total 100% of unit marks.
Submission date will be given to students verbally and on Blackboard.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. DENTM9010).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
