Outline

Overview

In this unit, students will participate in various learning activities to continue to develop foundational knowledge and skills needed for dental practice. Concepts of record keeping, consent and respect for privacy /confidentiality as applicable to clinical practice are introduced in the context of the regulatory framework of the health workforce in Australia. The unit continues a program of learning in the oral and systemic biosciences. Students continue development of knowledge and skills in tooth restoration, endodontics, periodontics, radiography and prosthetics in simulation and laboratory settings and local anaesthesia and oral surgery are added. Further experience in clinical settings fosters engagement with the patient interview, dental examination and assessment, and the codesign of treatment plans in simulated cases.

Assessment summary

Assessment Information:

Assessment in the DMD Program involves a longitudinal program of assessment, attendance, professionalism, Learning Advisor meetings and opportunities for remediation and further assessment. Refer to the SDS Assessment Local Provision and the SDS Attendance Local Provision for further information.

Assessments are integrated across the 7 vertical themes:

1. Leadership, communication and professionalisation (LCP)

2. Prevention and health promotion (PHP)

3. Clinical sciences and clinical skills (CS&CS)

4. Evidence based practice (EBP)

5. Social and cultural oral health (SCOH)

6. Oral and systemic biosciences (OSB)

7. Interprofessional teamwork (IPT)

Progression information:

The expected standard for each assessment must be met. Decisions will be made in reference to the expected standard for each individual assessment and based on the University grading table for knowledge-based assessments and competency levels as defined by rubrics for submitted work and skill based clinical assessment.

Progression is determined by the Portfolio Advisory Group at the end of the semester. The Portfolio Advisory Group will meet at the end of semester one to review student progress in each theme of the DMD and students will meet with a learning advisor once per semester to review their achievements.

All students who meet the expected standard in all assessments will progress.

Professionalism breaches will be considered in alignment with the FMH Professionalism Requirements and FMH Professionalism Provisions.

Where students have been determined to be Borderline or Below Expected Standard in one or more of the assessments, the Portfolio Advisory Group will determine eligibility for progression and whether remediation, additional learning tasks and further assessment is required to determine eligibility for progression.

Barrier clinical skills competency assessments are a patient safety requirement and are in place to ensure students meet the required standard prior to progressing on to the next stage / patient care. If further assessment is offered, one reassessment will be offered.

Note there is NOT a total numerical score that determines progression. Students are required to meet the individual assessment expected standard to progress.

DMD Progression Rules can be found in the Handbook (check the handbook for the year you commenced your candidature) and should be read in conjunction with the DMD Unit of study table.

Use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automated writing tools

Except for supervised exams or in-semester tests, you may use generative AI and automated writing tools in assessments unless expressly prohibited by your unit coordinator.

For exams and in-semester tests, the use of AI and automated writing tools is not allowed unless expressly permitted in the assessment instructions.

The icons in the assessment table above indicate whether AI is allowed – whether full AI, or only some AI (the latter is referred to as “AI restricted”). If no icon is shown, AI use is not permitted at all for the task. Refer to Canvas for full instructions on assessment tasks for this unit.

Your final submission must be your own, original work. You must acknowledge any use of automated writing tools or generative AI, and any material generated that you include in your final submission must be properly referenced. You may be required to submit generative AI inputs and outputs that you used during your assessment process, or drafts of your original work. Inappropriate use of generative AI is considered a breach of the Academic Integrity Policy and penalties may apply.

The Current Students website provides information on artificial intelligence in assessments. For help on how to correctly acknowledge the use of AI, please refer to the  AI in Education Canvas site.

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.

This unit has an exception to the standard University policy or supplementary information has been provided by the unit coordinator. This information is displayed below:

Late penalties: consistent with the Assessment Procedures 2024. Refer link: https://www.sydney.edu.au/policies/showdoc.aspx?recnum=PDOC2012/267&RendNum=0

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.

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.

Support for students

The Support for Students Policy reflects the University’s commitment to supporting students in their academic journey and making the University safe for students. It is important that you read and understand this policy so that you are familiar with the range of support services available to you and understand how to engage with them.

The University uses email as its primary source of communication with students who need support under the Support for Students Policy. Make sure you check your University email regularly and respond to any communications received from the University.

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 18 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 360-450 hours of student effort in total.

Required readings

Please see discipline specific notes on the relevant Canvas pages.

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.

Outcomes
Graduate qualities

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

LO1. Tooth Conservation - To apply and translate the disciplinary knowledge and practical skills of preclinical tooth conservation in patient care
LO2. Endodontics - Develop and demonstrate disciplinary knowledge and practical technical skills in endodontic procedures
LO3. Radiology - Understand and apply systematic strategies to describe various abnormalities observed in the most common diagnostic imaging modalities. Understand how the principles of systematic description correlate to the elaboration of differential diagnoses. Develop knowledge to safely apply principles of extraoral imaging techniques in simulation and clinical practice.
LO4. Evidence Based Practice (EBP) - Critically appraise evidence to determine reliability, validity and applicability to a patient context.
LO5. Periodontics - Understand and be able to explain various types of periodontal diseases and their clinical attributes, perform initial diagnostics, formulate treatment plan, and execute initial periodontal therapy
LO6. Oral Surgery - Develop knowledge to enable safe and efficient removal of teeth, thought effective pre-, peri- and post-operative management of patients requiring tooth removal.
LO7. Local Anasthesia - Develop knowledge and practice to safely and effectively administer local anaesthetic solutions to patients.
LO8. Prosthodontics - Integrate knowledge from evaluation and management of the completely edentulous patient with newly acquired knowledge to evaluate and manage the partially edentulous patient with removable prostheses.
LO9. Oral and Systemic Bioscience (OSB) - Apply integrated oral and systemic bioscience knowledge and scientific inquiry skills to critically analyse diverse oral health needs across lifespan.
LO10. Cariology - Developing competence in assessment, examination and diagnosis of dental carious lesions using both ICDAS and DiIAGNOdent tools and gaining experience in implementing the caries management system (CMS).
LO11. Occlusion - Describe the main functions of the skeletomotor system of the jaws, use facebow to articulate the study casts in the articulator, assess the accuracy of the articulated casts, carry out simple adjustments, and explain and demonstrate occlusal splint application and design using both traditional and CAD-CAM methods
LO12. Intergrated Clinics - Develop and demonstrate skills/competence in initial assessment, examination, diagnosis and treatment planning of patients
LO13. Population Oral Health - Demonstrate understanding of disciplinary knowledge in planning, implementing, and evaluating oral health programs for diverse populations, employing strategies for comprehensive patient care and oral health promotion.

Graduate qualities

The graduate qualities are the qualities and skills that all University of Sydney graduates must demonstrate on successful completion of an award course. As a future Sydney graduate, the set of qualities have been designed to equip you for the contemporary world.

GQ1	Depth of disciplinary expertise Deep disciplinary expertise is the ability to integrate and rigorously apply knowledge, understanding and skills of a recognised discipline defined by scholarly activity, as well as familiarity with evolving practice of the discipline.
GQ2	Critical thinking and problem solving Critical thinking and problem solving are the questioning of ideas, evidence and assumptions in order to propose and evaluate hypotheses or alternative arguments before formulating a conclusion or a solution to an identified problem.
GQ3	Oral and written communication Effective communication, in both oral and written form, is the clear exchange of meaning in a manner that is appropriate to audience and context.
GQ4	Information and digital literacy Information and digital literacy is the ability to locate, interpret, evaluate, manage, adapt, integrate, create and convey information using appropriate resources, tools and strategies.
GQ5	Inventiveness Generating novel ideas and solutions.
GQ6	Cultural competence Cultural Competence is the ability to actively, ethically, respectfully, and successfully engage across and between cultures. In the Australian context, this includes and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, knowledge systems, and a mature understanding of contemporary issues.
GQ7	Interdisciplinary effectiveness Interdisciplinary effectiveness is the integration and synthesis of multiple viewpoints and practices, working effectively across disciplinary boundaries.
GQ8	Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity An integrated professional, ethical and personal identity is understanding the interaction between one’s personal and professional selves in an ethical context.
