Outline

Overview

This unit builds on the fundamental concepts and procedures covered in year 1. New Disciplines such as Occlusion and Oral Surgery are introduced. Oral Surgery integrates head and neck anatomy with the principles and procedures associated with routine dental and oral surgical procedures, as well as pain management. This unit also provides students with more advanced information and the fundamentals of diagnosis and management of periodontal diseases. The foundations of Radiology and Prosthodontics are further developed introducing students with application of digital technology (CAD/CAM) in dental rehabilitation. Students may be required to attend classes at multiple locations.

Assessment summary

Written examinations (for SDDM5213 (online) and SDDM5223): Closed-book examinations consisting of modified essay questions, and multiple choice/single best answer questions where students must select the correct answer from four or five options. These examinations are designed to test theoretical understanding, and the application of concepts to practical situations.
Oral surgery pre-simulation quiz: LA/exodontia (for SDDM5213): This is a required assessment, and is to be completed to the stated standard prior to commencement in the simulation clinic.
Oral surgery barrier examination: LA/exodontia (for SDDM5213): This examination carries progression implications.
Periodontics practical examination 1: simulation (for SDDM5223): This pre-clinical assessment requires students to complete a set of specific tasks on clinically relevant simulation models.
Periodontics practical examination 2: clinic (for SDDM5223): This clinical assessment requires students to complete a set of specific tasks in clinical settings.
Continuous sessional assessment (for SDDM5213 and SDDM5223): The continuous assessment occurs during each pre-clinical session. These assessments aim to determine student development of competency throughout the unit of Study.
Clinical work (for SDDM5223): The clinical work is reported as a mark that represents the quality and quantity of all work carried out in providing patient care in all patient treatment clinics. Students are required to complete a range of different treatments for a number of patients, which is documented in the clinical workbook.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas.

Assessment criteria

The University awards common result grades, set out in the Coursework Policy 2014 (Schedule 1).

As a general guide, a high distinction indicates work of an exceptional standard, a distinction a very high standard, a credit a good standard, and a pass an acceptable standard.

Result name	Mark range	Description
High distinction	85 - 100
Distinction	75 - 84
Credit	65 - 74
Pass	50 - 64
Fail	0 - 49	When you don’t meet the learning outcomes of the unit to a satisfactory standard.

For more information see sydney.edu.au/students/guide-to-grades.

For more information see guide to grades.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

You may only use artificial intelligence and writing assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section.

Studiosity is permitted for postgraduate units unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

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 7 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 140-175 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.
