Overview
This unit introduces key topics in oral anatomy, which will enable you to begin preclinical training in term 2, and will form the foundations for clinical practice. In the first half of this unit you will study morphology of teeth, sequence of eruption and basic occlusion. The study of distinct features and traits of teeth will enable you to identify and examine teeth, as well as develop an awareness of root morphology required for primary tooth extractions and periodontal treatment for the adult dentition. The study of the sequence of eruption and exfoliation will develop your understanding of the changes with age from infancy to adulthood. This knowledge and understanding will also enable you to predict changes in the dentition with age and identify abnormalities in the eruption sequence. The study of dental morphology and occlusion will provide you with an understanding of tooth shape and function that applies to the restoration of natural tooth form. The second half of this unit will introduce you to anatomy of the head and neck, including surface anatomy, bones, muscles, blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics. Applications of this knowledge, in patient examination and local anaesthesia, will be developed further in ORAL11005 Oral Anatomy 2 in term 2.

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 Student evaluations and emails
Weekly quizzes were a great learning tool and helped build the student's confidence leading into assessments.
It is recommended that weekly multiple choice quizzes are retained in future and that other interactive quiz formats are developed.
Feedback from Student evaluations
Students liked the timing of the assessments as they were evenly spread throughout the term.
It is recommended that the On-Line Quizzes and In-Class tests (Multistation anatomy tests) both remain as two assessments. This spreads the assessment evenly over the term and allows opportunities for students to improve on their performance as the term progresses.
Feedback from Student evaluations
Students would like more interactive content on Moodle and in the on-line ZOOM tutorials.
It is recommended that more interactive content be added to Moodle and the format of the on-line tutorials be modified to improve interactions between teaching staff and students.
- Identify and name teeth in the human dentitions and anatomical features of the head and neck

1 In-class Test(s)
You will complete two tests worth 12.5% each to assess you knowledge of anatomy. The first test will take place in week 5. The second test will take place in week 12. Each test will take approximately 1 hour. The tests will consist of numbered stations set up around a room. You will move from station to station at timed intervals answering questions at each station. At each station there will be a model, tooth or image that you will need to answer a question about. Most questions will ask you to correctly identify or name a structure and some questions will relate to functions. The questions are not multiple choice. You will be given an answer sheet on which to write your answers. You will require pens and photo identification for this assessment. No textbooks or other written material will be allowed in the examination room, as this is a closed book assessment.
You will complete two In-Class tests. The first In-Class test will take place Wednesday 7th April at 1.00pm. The second In-Class test will take place Wednesday 2nd June at 1.00pm.
Answers will be given immediately following each In-Class test. Results will be returned within two weeks of the assessment date.
You will be assessed by the following criteria:
- Identify anatomical feature or function correctly.
- Correct spelling.
- Use of anatomical terminology.
- Identify and name teeth in the human dentitions and anatomical features of the head and neck
- Demonstrate appropriate oral and written communication skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviours as required of an Oral Health Therapist.
- Communication
- Problem Solving
- Information Literacy
- Team Work
- Ethical practice
2 Online Quiz(zes)
You will complete two on-line quizzes to assess your knowledge of anatomy. The questions will focus on terminolgy and will include matching and multiple-choice questions. As questions will be randomly generated from a pool of questions, no two students will sit the exact same list of questions. To prepare for this assessment you can complete the weekly practice quizzes as many times as you like and study the learning resources in the relevant weeks.
You are allowed only attempt on each quiz and must complete the quiz in a limited time. Your attempt for each quiz will be submitted automatically, but no more questions can be answered once the time limit expires. No attempts are allowed after the quiz is closed. If you are unable to complete the quiz by the due date, you must apply for an extension before the due date.
You must achieve 50% of the cumulative score of both quizzes.
Each quiz is outlined below.
The first quiz opens Thursday 25th March 8.00am and closes Thursday 8th April 5.00pm. This quiz tests learning material in weeks 1-4. There are 40 questions (maximum). The time limit is 25 minutes. This quiz is worth 10%.
The second quiz opens Monday 17th May 8.00am and closes Monday 31st May 5.00pm. This quiz tests learning material in weeks 5-10. There are 60 questions (maximum). The time limit is 40 minutes. This quiz is worth 15%.

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.
What can you do to act with integrity?
