Case Presentation

You are required to present an in-depth case study to a small (3) panel of examiners for up to 15 minutes (+/- 1 minute) at a nominated time in the scheduled 2 days within the examination period.

At the end of your presentation, you will be asked a short series of clinical questions on a selection of clinical content areas relevant overall to oral health therapy practice, but not limited to the case you've presented. The CQUniversity examiners will also comment on what you have said and how you have presented the case presentation. You must engage with, and look at, the examiners – reading from large notes with little or no eye contact is unacceptable. This Term 1 assessment task will assist you in preparing for the Term 2 assessment which will be performed in front of one internal and two external examiners.

You will be required to present an in-depth case presentation for a patient for whom you have provided dental treatment for in the student clinics using a PowerPoint presentation to support your discussion. Each case report must include justification for the way you have managed the treatment and prevention strategies. If you have not completed all the patient’s treatment, you should present a case in which you have completed the most or majority of the treatment.

The child or adolescent patient needs to have presented with hard tissue pathology, requiring you to treatment plan and justify the appropriate treatment modalities. Your care plan must include the determinants of oral health for your patient, i.e. a focus on the developmental stages of the patient, in particular relating this to the way your clinical care and home-care preventive strategies are planned and managed.

OR

An adolescent or adult patient who has presented with hard and/or soft tissue pathology and a medical condition which may or may not impede on treatment you can provide. You are required to treatment plan and justify the appropriate treatment modalities. Your care plan must include the determinants of oral health for your patient, i.e. consideration of the social and cognitive abilities of the patient, in particular, you need to relate this to the way your clinical care and home-care preventive strategies are planned and managed.

Referencing

A reference slide for the discussion section must cover all aspects of oral care provided, in relation to the points made above. References will be both in-text and in reference list at the end of the PowerPoint presentation. https://www.cqu.edu.au/student-life/services-and-facilities/referencing/cquniversity-referencing-guides

Requirements

Please bring your presentation with you on a memory stick – do not bring a laptop or tablet and do not use an external hosting site. Please make sure that your presentation is compatible with the CQUniversity Windows operating system. You should include de-identified clinical photos and radiographs of your patient and a study model, if appropriate. The study model must have the patient's real name and date of birth written on the back for correct storage. The study models MUST NOT leave the building, and be left with examiners immediately following the case presentation. The identification of the patient MUST BE anonymous in your case presentation. Failure to comply with keeping the identification of your patient anonymous is in breach of patient privacy and will result in a fail grade for this assessment. You must also have a slide at the beginning of the presentation which states a declaration that you have accessed the dental records in keeping with CQUniversity and CQH&HS clinic protocols. You must leave these records with the examiners so that they can deposit them in the locked shredding bins.

Due Dates

Your submission of this assessment will be in 2 parts:

Part A - Submit your completed PowerPoint presentation in Moodle one week before the scheduled days within the examination period.

Part B- Complete your oral presentation at the nominated time in the scheduled period within the examination period.
