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 CT 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 on study day 5. Distance learning package delivered via Blackboard including additional ‘podcast’ lectures/videos and directed reading. 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 simulated surgery. Assessment of practical skill, flap design, suturing and surgical skills
Summative Assessments
Written assignments:
1. Assessment of hard and soft tissues at the implant site. Written assignment looking at techniques for the assessment of the implant site.
2. Bone preservation. Written assignment looking at boney changes following tooth loss, and techniques for bone preservation at the implant site.
3. Bone augmentation techniques. Structured written assignment looking at the range of bone augmentation techniques and materials.
Total 100% of unit marks.
Submission date will be given to students verbally and on Blackboard.
