Overview
This unit covers key topics which are foundations for preclinical and clinical study in the Oral Health Therapy Course. You will study morphology and development of teeth, basic occlusion and microscopic anatomy of oral structures including oral mucosa, alveolar processes, salivary glands and tissues of the periodontium. You will study distinct features and traits of teeth, in primary and permanent dentitions. This 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. You will study the normal process of eruption and exfoliation and developmental stages to enable you to identify abnormalities in the eruption sequence. The study of dental morphology and occlusion will also provide you with an understanding of tooth shape and function which applies to the restoration of natural tooth form. Throughout this unit you will familiarise yourself with the appearance of oral structures in dental radiographs. The knowledge gained from this unit will support your study of dental caries, periodontal disease and oral mucosal diseases within ORAL11003 Oral Pathology and Diagnosis. You will be required to attend a 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.

2 Practical and Written Assessment
Written and practical tasks are outlined in the Workbook for this Unit. The practical component will be completed at residential school in week 7. The written assignment will be completed after residential school.
The practical tasks involve exercises in tooth morphology and identification.
You will be required to complete tooth drawing and wax carving exercises using natural teeth and typodont teeth. You will also work in small groups to identify natural teeth by type, class and FDI notation.
The written component will be a series of short answer questions on topics covered in weeks 8-12. The questions are designed to encourage students to look further than the textbook and research the answers. All questions will have clinical applications.
Week 11 Monday (25 Sept 2017) 12:00 pm AEST
The practical components are due at the completion of residential school. Students will submit their workbook for assessment at the completion of residential school. The written component of this assessment is due Monday 25th September in Week 11
Week 12 Friday (6 Oct 2017)
The combined total of the Practical and Written Assessment is 30% of your final grade. Tooth drawing component is worth 5%. Wax carving component is worth 5%. Short answer questions are worth 20%. Completion of the practical activities in the workbook is a pass/fail assessment.
You must pass the short answer assignment and practical activities in the workbook to pass this course. The pass mark for the short answer assignment is 50%.
You need to complete the wax carving or tooth drawing in order to pass this course.
The practical tasks are due at the completion of residential school. The workbook, wax carving and tooth drawing should be submitted at the completion of residential school and will be returned at the end of Week 7.

Examination
Dictionary - non-electronic, concise, direct translation only (dictionary must not contain any notes or comments).
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.
