22 Pages • Complete Study Notes • Year: Pre-2021 • Previously uploaded under: DOH124 - Foundations of Dental Clinical Practice 1 (12)

This subject is a continuation of Foundations of Clinical Dental Practice 1A. The knowledge and skills base of students is further developed in the areas of clinical dentistry and core physics and chemistry. Theory, laboratory and simulation laboratory based learning and training is extended to encompass the ongoing study and manipulation of dental materials, restorative cavity preparation techniques, caries control procedures, oral disease risk assessment, the taking and basic interpretation of dental radiographs and the management of simple periodontal disease. Towards the latter part of the session students are introduced to patients and patient history taking in a clinical setting. Study of chemistry and physics continues with a focus on thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction and organic chemistry, and on the common health care applications of physical concepts.
