| DESCRIPTION | This one-year study-unit in which students continue to provide prosthodontic and periodontic treatment in the context of rehabilitating adult patients. Patients treated should have a variety of limitations and impairments including complete and partially edentulous patients and patients requiring treatment of advanced periodontitis. Study-unit Aims: The aim of this study-unit is to provide the student with the clinical setting to plan and provide complete and partial dentures to patients and to provide non-surgical periodontal treatment on patients with more advanced periodontal disease. By the end of this study-unit, the student is expected to complete successfully at least: - 3 Complete dentures - 4 Partial acrylic dentures - 1 Cast partial denture - 1 Immediate denture - 1 Overdenture - Completed full periodontal treatment including assessment & reassessment of 4 patients with moderate/severe disease - Undertake partially treat of 6 other periodontal cases. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Describe correctly patient clinical charts and presenting complaints in clinical practice; - Discuss the clinical steps in providing and maintaining dentures to a variety of partially and fully edentulous patients; - Appreciate how the information gathered from the history and examination to formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan (with alternatives); - Evaluate a patient’s oral hygiene and then instruct the patient on the use of the appropriate oral hygiene aid(s) and correct behavioural science technique(s); - Describe how to formulate a treatment plan and carry out the appropriate treatment and identify the need for adjunctive therapies; - Discuss how patients may benefit from surgical intervention/ referral. 2. Skills By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Collect medical and clinical data; - Interpret correctly patient clinical charts and presenting complaints in clinical practice; - Communicate with the patient and dental technologist the most appropriate clinical treatment; - Organise the sequencing of all the clinical steps involved in fabricating and maintaining dentures; - Apply different impressions techniques used in fabrication of complete and partial dentures; - Apply different jaw relation record procedures; - Select teeth that are appropriate for the patient's needs; - Carry out trial wax dentures; - Provide and maintain complete and partial dentures; - Identify both healthy(normal) and pathological signs of periodontal tissues; - Accurately carry out periodontal probing techniques; - Identify occlusal trauma/ traumatic occlusion; - Take the appropriate radiographs, interpret their findings and write a radiographic report; - Carry out initial therapy using the correct scaling and root surface debridement techniques (both with hand and power scaling instruments); - Evaluate the results of periodontal therapy; - Design and implement an appropriate maintenance therapy programme and evaluation of aftercare.
