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 - 2021
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.
Class Timetable
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.

Paediatric typodont models are required for ORAL12005.
All students must comply with clinical and uniform requirements of the oral health clinic and simulation laboratory as promulgated.
Students must abide by infection control policies, guidelines and procedures at the simulation laboratory. All mandatory requirements for clinical practice must be met before and during the term. Failure to comply will lead to withdrawal from the pre-clinical practice and failure in the Unit.
1 Portfolio
This assessment consists of completion of dental procedures and a practical barrier examination performed in the simulation laboratory.
Simulation Laboratory Sessions:
There are two 3 hour clinical sessions per week. Attendance at all simulation laboratory sessions is compulsory. Failure to provide a medical certificate to the unit coordinator for missed sessions will result in failure of this unit component. All sessions are graded by the supervisor using criterion-referenced assessment rubrics. Detailed rubrics are available, and a sample is below. Each mark contributes to an overall piece of pass/fail assessment. A pass grade is 67%.
Barrier Exam:
The barrier examination is to ensure you can practice dental procedures safely and with basic competency. You are given two attempts to pass the barrier examination.
Personal Reflective Blog:
Self-reflection is an important practice for personal and professional development. You are required to write a self-reflective blog based on your practical experiences. The completion of the personal reflective blog is a compulsory assessment and must be completed to a satisfactory standard for each day you are in the simulation laboratory. The Gibbs’ Reflective Cycle is an example of a reflective model you could use and the upload of photos of your simulation exercises is encouraged. Reflections must be submitted by midnight each Sunday for the previous week you are in the simulation laboratory.
You may also use your personal blog as a platform to collate content notes for the unit.
The last simulation laboratory session in Week 12.
Feedback will be provided in ORAS
You must obtain a grade of at least 67% in ORAS for completed tasks and a pass mark in the barrier exam in order to pass the unit. This assessment item has a pass/fail grade. Assessment tasks submitted after the due date where an extension was not requested or where sound reasons were not given by the student for a late request are deducted a penalty of five percent or equivalent of the total available marks for the assessment for each calendar day (full or part) it is overdue. A reduced penalty will normally apply to extension requests submitted and accepted after the due date.

2 Written Assessment
The self-reflective written assessment of approximately 1000 words is worth 20% of the total marks for ORAL12005. You must show evidence of daily self-reflection of your performance of assigned tasks in the simulation laboratory through reference to particular challenges and learning outcomes documented in your personal OU blog, on which you base your reflective journal.

Your assessment is to be your own individual work and not a result of collaboration with other students. Any identified cases of potential collusion will result in a breach of academic integrity case being raised.
There are a number of support and technology mechanisms of which you need to be aware.
- If you experience any technical difficulties accessing or during the in class test, please contact TASAC (Moodle assistance option) on 1300 666 620.
- Notify the unit coordinator as soon as physically possible (same day) with details of the technical issues. If you are able, take a screenshot of any error message received and include that in your email to the unit coordinator.
- If you are unable to undertake the in class test at the set time and date you will need to apply for an extension in Moodle (in the support area on the top of the page and supply supporting documentation as per normal extension requests.
Time scheduled by the Unit Coordinator.
The in-class tests will be a combination of long answer questions, short answer questions, MCQ, and True/False.

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?
