    Simulation clinic

    A new leading edge Dental Simulation

    Clinic, with its supporting Clinical

    Dental Education unit, was openedin early 2013. These facilities enable

    students to practise real-world patient

    care procedures in a technologically

    integrated environment. Including 90

    individual simulators equipped with

    a mannequin, dental equipment, a

    PC and monitor, students are able

    to acquire and develop clinical skills

    in a state-of-the-art environment.

    The facilities also include two dental

    surgeries, a plaster laboratory, and

    radiology and sterilisation areas.

    Dentistry is a respected and responsible professionalcareer that demands high standards of care and skill,as well as an aptitude for dealing with people.

    Dentistry and Oral Health

    The practice of dentistry may be defined

    as the science and art of preventing,

    diagnosing and treating diseases, injuries and

    malformations of teeth, jaws and mouth.

    The practice of oral health deals with the

    control and prevention of oral diseasethrough treatment and education of clients.

    Learning and teachingTeaching staff provide a supportive and

    collegial learning environment focusedon ensuring positive student learning

    experiences and outcomes.

    Students are taught using a variety of

    innovative, high quality and flexible learning

    approaches, including small groups for

    collaborative learning, case studies,

    problem-based learning packages and

    clinical placements at metropolitan, rural

    and interstate venues. Online delivery

    complements face-to-face learning.

    Community OutreachDental ProgramImproving the lives of homeless people

    The Community Outreach Dental Program

    provides dental and other health services forpeople who have suffered homelessness or

    have difficulty accessing conventional care.

    Run by the School of Dentistry, and assisted

    by a group of dedicated volunteer private

    dentists and allied health professionals, the

    centre has provided care for around 400

    clients, including revisit appointments, in the

    first 15 months of operation. The program

    also provides dentistry and oral health

    students with an opportunity to hone their

    basic oral health skills in a non-traditional

    setting while broadening their community

    understanding.

    Bachelor of Dental Surgery

    Indicative study plan

    First year From a patient care focus, this year introduces students to the practice of dentistry and provides a foundation for understanding thenormal structure and function of a healthy body. This includes the oral cavity, evidence-based maintenance of patients health, anddentistry as a career.

    By working through a series of integrated learning activities, students develop an integrated knowledge base related to evidence-based patient care and related biodental, clinical and behavioural sciences, clinical skills and professional behaviours. These integratedlearning activities present various practice situations that focus on the initial phases of patient care and are supported by class meetings,

    laboratory, tutorial and clinical exercises.Learning is also supported by independent study and discussion of findings in class. Students work in a collaborative environment tolearn to critically evaluate themselves, and plan and implement strategies for improvement.

    Second year Second year builds on the first year, maintaining the focus on patient care. The aim is to develop an understanding of the changes thatoccur in the oral cavity when an imbalance of the oral ecosystem develops.

    The emphasis will be to restore and maintain the balance towards health. Students will participate in integrated learning activities,supported by class meetings, laboratory, tutorials, clinical sessions and independent study.

    Second year continues the emphasis on the scientific basis of dentistry by pairing knowledge of the bodys structure and function withthe development of skills in examining and assessing risk, and how to systematically manage healthy patients with minor conditions.

    Third and fourth years In the third and fourth years students will extend their dental sciences studies to include the understanding of dental disorders andthe human diseases that have direct relevance to oral health and dental practice. The scientific basis of dental practice, health andcommunity components also continue throughout the year.

    Students clinical skills in comprehensive treatment planning will be developed further through the provision of supervised care forpatients in both general dental practice and dental specialities.

    Fifth year This is planned as a clinical placements year. Students will undertake a range of placements in the dental hospital and in a range ofcommunity settings, both in public and private practice.

    (PBL) approach. The emphasis of contextuallearning of relevant scientific information throughoutthe program occurs concurrently with thedevelopment of clinical skills.

    PBL is an approach that develops problem solvingstrategies, a disciplinary knowledge base andprofessional skills. PBL places students in theactive role of a problem solver confronted with anissue/patient scenario, which mirrors a real-worldsituation. In many examples, the students studyreal-life cases.

    There are four highly integrated streams in eachyear of the Bachelor of Oral Health that continuethrough the three years of the program. Someclasses are delivered in a team context withBachelor of Dental Surgery students.

    Streams

    This includes management of the oral environment,periodontology, cariology, minimal interventionand prevention. Students are introduced to thebehavioural sciences and psychology relevant tothe practice of oral health therapy.

    The Dental and Health Science 2 stream will buildon the knowledge developed in Dental and HealthScience 1 and introduce the role of the oral healththerapist in specialised dental practice. It covers

    community dental health issues and developsthe role of the operative and preventive oralhealth therapist.
