Overview
This unit, which is a sequel to ORAL12002 Oral Health Pre-Clinical Practice 1, reinforces skills learnt previously as well as developing new restorative skills and techniques in the primary dentition. You will apply knowledge and demonstrate skills in the preventive and operative management of dental caries including extractions, pulpotomies, stainless steel crowns and strip crowns in the primary dentition. On completion of this unit, you will demonstrate proficiency in the administration of local anaesthesia for child and adult patients. You will communicate information regarding oral health in oral and written forms in terms of relevant interpersonal / team communication skills, professional attitudes and ethical behaviours.

Offerings For Term 2 - 2018
Attendance Requirements
All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Recommended Student Time Commitment
Each 6-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 12.5 hours of study per week, making a total of 150 hours for the unit.

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 'Have your say'
Students would prefer oral presentations and feedback earlier in the term because the last week of term has a lot of assessment items in other units and earlier feedback would assist with study for the final examination.
Oral Presentations for ORAL12005 will be held earlier in the term as a result of consultation with other unit coordinators and feedback will therefore be provided to students earlier.
Feedback from 'Have your say'
Students would like more information as to a break down of what is required in sim lab tasks and self reflective journal.
Following discussion involving all pre-clinical supervisors, more information on what is required will be provided to students on Moodle and in the sim lab pre clinical sessions.
Feedback from 'Have your say'
Students would like 'writing clinical notes' included in sim lab activities in ORAL12002 as well as ORAL12005.
Writing of clinical notes as a sim lab task will be included in ORAL12002 in 2018.
Feedback from 'Have your say'
Students feel they shouldn't have to pay for teeth models or need more notice regarding costs.
Students have been advised in term 2 year 1 of the Bachelor of Oral Health course of the costs and payment requirements set out by CQUniversity for teeth models for terms 1 and 2 in their second year of study.
Feedback from 'Have your say'
Students feel they require more information on how to reproduce dental morphology in restorations, including instruments and technique for different dental materials.
As the theory component on this is provided in ORAL12003, following consultation with other unit coordinators, more information will be provided to students in this unit. Students will practise reproducing dental morphology on pre-prepared bench top cavity preparations and 'Dentaprac' models prior to practising on teeth models in dental manikins in the simulation laboratory as a task in ORAL12002.

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.
What can you do to act with integrity?
