This subject is only available to those students enrolled in the Bachelor of Dental
Surgery
This subject integrates a clinical program with research that underpins evidence based
practice. Students participate in a clinical program (the foundations of which were
developed in DS3101:12 Introduction to Clinical Dentistry and DS3102:09 Clinical Dentistry
1) that exposes them to a wide range of clinical practice. This allows the development
of competency in procedures which are examined at the end of Year 4. This includes
further exposure to the disciplines focused on children (Paedodontics and Orthodontics),
adults (Restorative, Periodontics and Endodontics) and Gerodontics and Oral Medicine.
The cross-age disciplines of Oral Surgery and Restorative Dentistry are a strong focus
of the clinical program. This dental specific content is augmented by a medicine and
surgery component and has a strong ethical base. The development of clinical skills
continues across the year to achieve competencies in all the key areas of dentistry.
Ethical, evidence-based practice is reinforced throughout Year 4 as students deepen
their theoretical and applied knowledge about research in dental science. Groups of
students build on earlier studies by designing a research project and developing an
ethics application.
Learning Outcomes
- Perform an expanding range of dental procedures under supervision;
- Understand the use of drugs commonly used in oral medicine, their side effects and
drug interactions;
- Understand the special needs of children with disabilities;
- Develop a research proposal and complete an ethics application for the research project,
following a structured template;
- Analyse the strength and weakness of a research article followed by synthesis of a
concise and succinct summary.
