This module will introduce the concepts and techniques involved in the preparation of a patient for surgery and maintenance of a sterile surgical field. Students will be shown how to gown and glove correctly. The use of preoperative medication will be outlined and the obtaining of written evidence of consent to treatment. Aspects of basic implant surgery will be covered including local anaesthetic techniques, soft tissue flap design, the use of surgical guides, drilling techniques, the use of osteotomes, implant positioning, flap closure and post operative care.
Lectures and small group teaching on study day 4. 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.
