Overview
This unit builds on your knowledge of anatomy from ORAL11004 Oral Anatomy 1 and supports your study of oral pathology in ORAL11003 Oral Pathology and Diagnosis. In the first half of this unit you will continue the study of anatomy and physiology of the head, neck and oral cavity with an emphasis of the clinical applications of this knowledge. In the second half of this unit you will study embryology and microscopic anatomy of structures within the oral cavity. With this unit you will develop the foundation knowledge required to administer local anaesthesia and conduct an extra-oral and intra-oral examination in oral health therapy practice.

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
Students responded positively to the weekly practice quizzes. Students said that weekly quizzes helped them to, keep on track, test their understanding after a lecture, refresh their knowledge and demonstrate what subjects they knew and what they need to do more study on.
Weekly quizzes, which help students revise content and prepare for the online quizzes, will remain as part of this unit. The question bank will be updated and modified with additional feedback and revised questions for 2021.
Feedback from Student evaluations
Students enjoyed the group activities in the anatomy labs. Students said the anatomy sessions helped consolidate what they learnt in lectures and that they enjoyed the shared learning experience with their peers. Students also said that participation in the anatomy laboratory sessions helped prepare them for the station-based anatomy test. However, not all students actively participated in the group discussions which meant that some students missed the opportunity for shared learning and felt unsure of how to complete the workbook questions.
Anatomy laboratory sessions, including practical activities with anatomical models, radiographs and local anaesthetic simulation, will remain in 2021.The sessions will be modified to encourage more group discussions. The sessions will follow outlines given in the workbook Time will be set aside at the end of each session to clear any doubt on completion of the workbook.
Feedback from Student evaluations
While tutorial sessions were scheduled on ZOOM and students participated by answering prepared questions, they didn’t feel that the sessions were beneficial as the same few students answered all the questions all the time. Students felt that these sessions would be more beneficial in face-to-face with equal contribution from all students.
Tutorial sessions in 2021 have been scheduled as face-to-face delivery. The tutorials, which will follow the face-to-face lecture, will be held in suitable teaching space for group and class discussions. This will enable different learning experiences instead of a question and answer type session.
Feedback from Student evaluations
Students like to print out the lecture slides for revision, but find some of the slide presentations very long and expensive to print out.
The power point presentations will continue to be made available on Moodle but modified in consideration of the amount of paper required and cost of printing.
- Identify and describe anatomical and radiographic features of the head and neck with particular relevance to dental anaesthesia and patient examination
- Describe anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity with emphasis on innervation of oral structures, spread of infection, function of the temporomandibular joint and salivary glands
- Describe the embryological development of the teeth and oral cavity, and the microscopic anatomy of oral structures
- Demonstrate appropriate oral and written communication skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviours as required of an Oral Health Therapist.
The learning outcomes of this unit are part of the overall learning outcomes in the BOralHlth course at CQUniversity. They will form part of the annual report documentation which is submitted to the Australian Dental Council for accreditation.

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.
