Why is this unit important?
This unit aims to enhance your knowledge of interdisciplinary approach when assessing, diagnosing, treatment planning periodontal conditions and the application of implant dentistry. You will enhance interdisciplinary knowledge on factors that make tooth unrestorable, adverse effects of treatment procedures on tooth structure and the influence of occlusion on periodontic practice. You will also debate the management of periodontal conditions in medically compromised patients.
How does this this unit fit into your programme of study?
This unit builds from the previous unit and bring a more holistic approach to patient treatment. It goes beyond only looking at periodontal treatment end-points to look at how integration with other dental disciplines is necessary to treat the patient as a whole.
An overview of content
This unit will bring together different specialties to recognise the patient as a whole when considering treatment planning.
How will students, personally, be different as a result of the unit?
As a result of this unit, you will recognise the patient as a whole and discuss different treatment plans based on best evidence to employ in your practice.
Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:
This unit accounts for 20 credits and there will be a total of 200 learning hours.
The unit will be taught through face-to-face contact symposium, asynchronous and synchronous online resources including tutorials, discussions based on key readings and students experiences, evidence base summaries, case study presentation involving evidence based search, analysis, problem-solving and decision-making; peer-to-peer interactions involving group and individual exercises; presentations, discussion, and debate.
The remaining learning hours will be spent in independent study and in the preparation of assessment. The symposium will be team-taught by a range of academics in the school and invited external experts. The asynchronous and synchronous teaching will follow an initial timetable with key concepts and building your learning to cover all the unit learning outcomes.
Tasks which help you learn and prepare you for summative tasks (formative):
You will have the opportunity to bring case based discussions to gain feedback from tutors..
A mock viva to aid preparation of summative assessment.
Tasks which count towards your unit mark (summative):
The assessment for this unit will be an unseen case viva (100%)
You will be presented with unseen cases. You will have time to read each case and take notes followed by a viva for each case.
When assessment does not go to plan:
If you do not pass the unit, you will normally be given the opportunity to take a reassessment as per the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes. Decisions on the award of reassessment will normally be taken after all taught units of the year have been completed. Reassessment will normally be in a similar format to the original assessment that has been failed.
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. ORDSM0050).
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 University 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. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
