| DESCRIPTION | This study-unit exposes students to further clinical training with diverse clients using digital workflows in a traditional dental clinical setting. Patients will include clients requiring prosthodontic, oral surgery, restorative and periodontics management. In Clinical Practice 2, students will lead patients' management from digital treatment plans to the execution of the entire treatment with subsequent clinical and radiographic follow-up. All treatment steps will still be conducted under supervision from dental and other allied health professionals, to foster multidisciplinary collaboration. Study-Unit Aims: The aims of the study-unit are: - Understanding further roles of the dental professional in a clinical setting using digital workflows. - Developing leadership while providing realistic digital and CAD-CAM dental services.This includes training to improve decision-making in cases requiring multidisciplinary dental treatments (i.e. treatments involving steps in more than one field of dentistry, such as prosthodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, implantology and endodontics) - Providing opportunities to integrate evidence-based dentistry in clinical settings. - Fostering the integration of knowledge and theory into dental practice. Learning Outcomes: 1. Knowledge & Understanding: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Interpret patients' data to develop an integrated digital treatment planning. - Lead and participate in the oral rehabilitation of patients using CAD-CAM methodologies. - Collaborate with dental technicians by using digital technologies to providing quality health care. - Collaborate with physicians and other healthcare professionals to discuss treatment diagnosis and data related to the head and neck, as obtained from digital radiographic methods used in dentistry. 2. Skills: By the end of the study-unit the student will be able to: - Collect data from medical and dental histories. - Perform intraoral scans of patients. - Install plan and install CAD-CAM dental prostheses - 3D-print temporary dental prostheses - Mill definitive dental prostheses. - Use evidence-based knowledge in decision-making. - Interpret conventional radiographs, 3D tomographic and intraoral scans, as well as perform software analyses to contribute to the diagnosis of cases of oncology and medical conditions involving the head and neck. |
