Students must comply with clinical policies and procedures (workplace health and safety, infection control and dental records), and undertake clinical practice with peer-on-peer learning in Weeks 1-6 and then with patients in Weeks 7-12. On completion of this course, students should be able to demonstrate clinical judgment skills in dental examination, medical and dental history taking, risk assessment, referral for complex care, diagnosis, prevention and management of dental caries (including root caries) and periodontal diseases for child and adult patients. Students should also be able to demonstrate proficiency in extra-oral and intra-oral radiology; in the knowledge and practical skills relating to pain management and administration of local anaesthesia for child and adult patients. Students will also be able to demonstrate skills in take-home and in-office teeth whitening treatments, impression-taking, and the fabrication of study models, mouthguards, and trays for whitening and preventive medicaments.
