In this unit, students will participate in various learning activities to introduce dentistry in the context of healthcare and society. Concepts such as the social contract and patient centred care are introduced to facilitate student examination of the professional environment of oral health care. Sudents explore career pathways, and begin to develop skills with data, formulating research questions and searching for relevant evidence. This unit contains a program of learning in head and neck anatomy, tooth morphology and introductory concepts in basic science to establish the biomedical basis of dentistry. Students commence development of skills in tooth restoration and prosthetic construction in simulation and laboratory settings. Experience in clinical settings fosters engagement with the scope of practice and professional competencies of a dentist.
