Overview
In this unit you will develop an understanding of the anatomy and physiology relevant to the oral cavity and the practice of an Oral Health Therapist. This unit will cover the following topics: surface anatomy, bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics of the head and neck. It will include structures related to the oral cavity such as paranasal sinuses, temporo mandibular joint and salivary glands. This unit will provide you with the foundation knowledge required to administer local anaesthesia in oral health therapy practice and to conduct a dental examination of the extra oral and intra oral features. You will be familiarised with normal radiographic appearance of oral structures in preparation for second year clinical practice and studies in orthodontics. You will develop an understanding of the healthy oral biological and biochemical environment and the importance of saliva. This unit is offered in conjunction with ORAL11003 Oral Pathology and Diagnosis. The knowledge of this unit will support your study of pathology in the head and neck region. You are required to attend the compulsory residential school.

Assessment Overview
Assessment Grading
This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%). Consult the University’s Grades and Results Policy for more details of interim results and final grades.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from In class
Students found the last few weeks of the term stressful. Assignments for two other ORAL Units were due at the same time and a number of students had a clinical placement to complete in ORAL11003.
Weekly lectures in the first half of term prepare the students for the residential school so the content is necessarily heavy in the first 6 weeks and not as heavy in the second part of term. Because there is less content in the second half of term, there is scope to combine some weeks and allow students time to revise and complete assessment tasks without the addition of new learning material in the last week of term.
Feedback from In class and student evaluations
Students enjoyed the hands-on tasks with anatomy models at residential school. The residential school helped the students to learn about oral anatomy.
The residential school will continue to be a part of this unit.
Feedback from In class and student evaluations
Student would like more visual information in the lectures- less words, more pictures and diagrams.
Pictures and diagrams are important in the study of anatomy, so lectures will continue to focus on visual information. Lectures will include more use of the document camera for drawings and demonstrations with models.
- Describe the embryological development of the head and neck with relevance to the oral cavity and the developing face, dentition and occlusion.
- Identify and describe anatomical and physiological features of the head and neck with particular relevance to the oral cavity.
- Describe the features of a healthy oral biological and biochemical environment and discuss the importance of saliva.
- Communicate information regarding oral health in oral and written forms.
- Satisfy the requirements of an evolving dental practitioner utilising appropriate interpersonal / team communication skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviours.
All unit profiles in the Bachelor of Oral Health are made available to the Australian Dental Council for on-going accreditation purposes.

Examination
As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
