Outline

Overview

This unit of study will build on the foundations of semester one - This unit provides students with the necessary skills to expand their treatment planning skills for patients in a general dental practice situation, using non-invasive primary and secondary preventive strategies and to undertake the management of patients presenting in pain. Students will build on their initial clinical experience by expanding the complexity of cavities and range of materials used in their treatment of patients. The foundations of Endodontics will be deepened and broadened to include advanced concepts. The program of Dental Trauma will teach students the guidelines and skills needed for the general management of acute traumatic dental injuries. The area of trauma represents a significant crossover between the disciplines of Endodontics, Paediatric Dentistry and Oral Surgery. Complementary to the clinical work, the Professional practice program covers those domains of dentistry practice that foster the development of oral health professionals who are competent, caring and committed to the healing of their patients. This discipline will explore the topics of social justice, clinical ethics and professional integrity as well as examining behavioural science learning topics including effective communication and management skills. Students may be required to attend classes at multiple locations.

Assessment summary

This is a unit integrated and aggregated with results from semester 1 SDDM5315 Integrated Dentistry for a full year assessment result combining SDDM 5315 + 5325 units.

For Semsters 1 and 2

- The Endodontic competency assessment (20%) This assessment contributes to 20% of semester 1 SDDM 5315 unit result and contributes 20% of the full year SDDM 5315+5325 combined result. For students who have not completed this in Semester 1 or require remediation and reassessment, the assessment will be completed in Semester 2. Students who have completed this assessment and who do not require remediation and reassessment in Sem 1 - will have their Semester 1 Endodontic competency assessment marks carried over into Sem 2 as a contribution to the full year result of 20%

- The Clincal Leadership Program (CLP) – Semester Report (N/A for 2023)
Referred to in SDDM 5315 will not be part of the assessment blueprint for Sem 1 or 2, units SDDM 5315, 5325 in 2023.

For Semester 2 (Combined SDDM 5315+5325)

- The ICDA Supervised theory written exam (40%) This assessment contributes to 40% of the semester 2 SDDM 5325 unit result and contributes 20% to the combined SDDM 5315+5325 full year result

Your semester 1 written exam result will be aggregated (contribute to) with your semester 2 theory written result from SDDM 5325 to calculate a full year Supervised theory written exam assessment result. This will contribute 40% to the full year SDDM 5315+5325 unit result.

- The ICDA – Continuous clinical assessment (CCA) and Clinical experience assessments (CEA) (40%) The clincal assessments for Semester 2 will be combined with your results from Sem 1 and is worth 40% of Sem 2 and the full year unit result.

Results from assessments within this unit will contribute to your full year result according to the assessment blueprint uploaded to CANVAS – See 2023 SDDM 5315+5325 – ICDA Assessment Blueprint. For Semester 1 and 2 results:
Assessments Page: DMD 3 - ICDA - 2023

Further notes:

A. Supervised Theory Written Exams contribute 40% to the full year assessment result comprising:

Semester 1 comprises 1 x supervised theory written exam for SDDM 5315 and will contribute 20% of the full year assessment result.
Semester 2 comprises 1 x supervised theory written exam for SDDM 5325 and will contribute 20% of the full year assessment result.

Both Semester 1 and 2 theory results are aggregated to contribute a total value of 40% of the full year result. The full year theory result must be a pass (50% or more as total mark aggregated for both Semester 1 and 2 theory exams) as an overall full year result and is considered separately from clinical results. A pass result must be achieved separately from clinical assessment results in order to pass this unit.

B. Continuous clinical assessment (CCA) and Clinical experience assessments (CEA) from Semester 1 + 2 contribute 40% to the full year assessment result. Your results will not show a mark for clinical work at conclusion of semester 1 as part of SDDM 5315, however feedback will be provided to students whose 1st semester results from CCA and CEA work suggest they are potentially at risk of failing this assessment component, development of a remedial study plan will be completed.

Semester 1: Your results will not show a mark for clinical work and continuous sessional assessment at conclusion of semester 1 for SDDM 5315. Feedback will be provided to students whose 1st semester performance in this assessment component indicates they are at potentially at risk of achieving an unsatisfactory result for the year. Feedback on your performance, strategies to improve and support in development of a voluntary remedial study plan will be offered for these students.

Semester 2: All CCA and CEA results from semester 1 will be carried over and combined with semester 2 clinical results to achieve a full year clinical assessment result within SDDM 5325 at the end of Semester 2. This clinical assessment result will contribute 40% to the full year result and comprises:

1. Continuous Clinical Assessment (CCA) results (30% of full yr result)

2. Clinical Experience Assessment (CEA) results (10% of full yr result)

ICDA SDDM 5315+5325 full year clinical assessment results will be derived from clinical sessions and procedures completed during DMD 3 (Sem 1 + 2) integrated and acute care clinic appointments (not specialty or preio clinics). The full year CCA + CEA assessment result must be a pass (50% or more as total mark for both Semester 1 and 2 within clinical assessment result) as an overall full year result. It is considered separately from theory assessment results. A CCA +CEA pass result must be achieved separately from theory assessment results in order to pass this unit and will be calculated from:

- Continuous Clinical Assessment (CCA) results (30% of full yr result)

CCA grades of Proficient (P) – Satisfactory (S) – Beginner (B) –Unsatisfactory (U) will be assigned for student performance in each clinical session with respect to demonstrated:

i. Knowledge and Understanding & ii. Technical ability

A result in both these CCA areas will be calculated by converting each session result into an average for your CCA during the year. This average result will be assessed and used by the school to determine if your CCA achievement is demonstrative of an acceptable CCA performance for a competent DMD 3 student. An acceptable result indicative of clinical competence must be achieved to meet requirements to pass this unit.

- Clinical Experience Assessment (CEA) results (10% of full yr result)

The CEA results will be derived from all clinical procedures completed during DMD 3 integrated and acute care clinic sessions. Minimum clinical benchmarks in terms of quantity and quality of procedures completed to demonstrate required clinical competence to pass this unit will be advised during semester 1. Clinical competence must be demonstrated in this assessment component by achieving required benchmark procedural numbers at a satisfactory level as graded in the Dental Assessment System (DAS).

C. Endodontic Competency Assessment contributes 20% to both Semester 1 (SDDM 5315) and when carried over to Semester 2, 20% to the combined full year assessment result (SDDM 5315+5325).

The Endodontic Competency Assessment is completed during Sem 1. If an unsatisfactory result is achieved in your performance in this exam, then remediation and re assessment will be required and completed during semester 2, potentially after the formal written exam period but prior to university shutdown (anytime up to and including December 22nd, 2023).

You must either pass the Semester 1 exam or be available in person up to and including Fri 22nd December 2023 of the reassessment period to complete any re assessment required. The re assessment must be completed in person and an online option is not possible. It is your responsibility to ensure that any planned travel is not booked or is deferred until after this date so you can attend required sessions in person.

Failure to attend the remediation and reassessment session if you receive a Semester 1 fail result in this assessment will mean you do not meet the requirements of this unit.

D. The Clincal Leadership Program (CLP) – Semester Report (N/A for 2023)
Referred to in SDDM 5315 will not be part of the assessment blueprint for Sem 1 or 2, units SDDM 5315, 5325 in 2023.

E. Formative UCC Presentation – Satisfactory submission and completion of the the formative UCC Presentation in Semester 2 must be achieved in order to qualify for a satisfactory result in both ICDA units. This is a non weighted (0%) pass / fail assessment.

Note: For all ICDA assessments the requirement is you sit these assessments in person. Where remediation and reassessment is required and offered for students who achieve an unsatisfactory result, You must be available in person up to and including Fri 22nd December 2023 of the reassessment period to complete any re assessment required . It is your responsibility to ensure that any planned travel is not booked or is deferred until after this date so you can attend required sessions in person.

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance: Attendance is a professional responsibility required of all students admitted to academic programs within the Sydney Dental School. All programs in the Sydney Dental School have a 90% attendance policy, for all compulsory components of Units of Study, as detailed in the Faculty of Dentistry Attendance Provisions 2015. This includes all clinical and practical sessions. The course requirements cannot be satisfied if more than 10% of any section of a course is missed for any reason.
Professionalism: Students in all Sydney Dental School programs are subject to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Professionalism Requirements 2019 and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Professionalism Provisions 2019. Professionalism is an essential component of developing competency to practice. It is important for students to demonstrate professional behaviour in all contexts and environments. In accordance with these local provisions: candidates who demonstrate serious or repeated unprofessional behaviour may be required to show cause as to why their enrolment should be continued. Failure to show cause may result in exclusion from the course.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 5 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 100-125 hours of student effort in total.

Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

LO1. In areas of: Tooth Conservation + Cariology, Endodontics, Professional Practice and Ethics, Population Oral Health, Dental Trauma: Develop knowledge in and understand the scientific methods relevant to biological, behavioural and social sciences. Apply this knowledge to understand the complex interactions between nutrition, general health, medications, systemic diseases and their impact on oral health and disease. Combine this with clinical skills for the provision of patient-centered care as part of the dental team by being flexible, adaptable, and working collaboratively with other oral health practitioners.
LO2. Demonstrate respect for all members of our community, with an appreciation of the diversity of human background and cultural values and whilst doing so comply with the ethical principles and legal responsibilities involved in the provision of dental care for individual patients, to communities and populations, practicing with personal and professional integrity, honesty and trustworthiness.
LO3. In the areas of Tooth Conservation + Cariology, Endodontics, Professional Practice and Ethics, Population Oral Health, Dental Trauma: Assess, interpret and provide integrated management of the complex needs of dental patients through sound clinical reasoning and provision of evidence based clinical care within the scope of practice, as defined by the national professional accrediting body; AHPRA
LO4. Educate patients, patients’ family or carers/guardians at all stages in their life, about the aetiology and prevention of oral disease using effective, culturally competent and evidence-based education and communication strategies to improve oral health and quality of life outcomes for patients given their oral health status
LO5. Develop the ability to evaluate evidence in a critical and scientific manner, apply clinical reasoning and judgement in a reflective practice approach, and engage in scientific methods and research to advance and integrate knowledge in clinical practice. Use this as a premise to demonstrate a commitment to lifelong learning, with the ability to acquire and apply knowledge, develop existing skills, adapt to a changing environment and acquire new skills.
