Dentistry and Oral Health

Simulation clinic
A new leading edge Dental Simulation Clinic, with its supporting Clinical Dental Education unit, was opened in 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 and Oral Health

Dentistry is a respected and responsible professional career that demands high standards of care and skill, as well as an aptitude for dealing with people.
The practice of dentistry may be dened 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 disease through treatment and education of clients.

Dentistry and Oral Health

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 the normal structure and function of a healthy body. This includes the oral cavity, evidence-based maintenance of patients health, and dentistry as a career. By working through a series of integrated learning activities, students develop an integrated knowledge base related to evidencebased patient care and related biodental, clinical and behavioural sciences, clinical skills and professional behaviours. These integrated learning 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 to learn to critically evaluate themselves, and plan and implement strategies for improvement. Second year builds on the first year, maintaining the focus on patient care. The aim is to develop an understanding of the changes that occur 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 with the development of skills in examining and assessing risk, and how to systematically manage healthy patients with minor conditions. In the third and fourth years students will extend their dental sciences studies to include the understanding of dental disorders and the human diseases that have direct relevance to oral health and dental practice. The scientific basis of dental practice, health and community components also continue throughout the year. Students clinical skills in comprehensive treatment planning will be developed further through the provision of supervised care for patients in both general dental practice and dental specialities. This is planned as a clinical placements year. Students will undertake a range of placements in the dental hospital and in a range of community settings, both in public and private practice.

Why study the Bachelor of Oral Health?

The University of Adelaides Bachelor of Oral Health is the only professional oral health degree program available in South Australia. Students work and study as part of a small oral health community in a supportive and collegial manner. Graduates gain the knowledge, skills and attributes to enable them to practice oral health therapy at the highest level. Key features of the program include early clinical experience, a signicant amount and variety of clinical practice, health promotion and development of research skills. The program focuses on the development of competence in clinical examination and diagnosis of dental disease, the formulation of individual treatment plans for clients, control and prevention of dental diseases by clinical treatment and preventive procedures, and health promotion of clients and the community to establish patterns of behaviour conducive to good oral health. There are substantial opportunities to learn and practice in a variety of hospital and community settings, both in public and private, in metropolitan, rural and interstate locations. Bachelor of Oral Health graduates strive through their advocacy and clinical practice to empower individuals and communities to maintain optimum oral health throughout their lives.

Graduates from the Bachelor of Oral Health form an integral part of the dental team and provide preventive and general dental care for the population in both public and private sectors.

Program structure
The dynamic curriculum of the Bachelor of Oral Health is delivered within a problem-based learning (PBL) approach. The emphasis of contextual learning of relevant scientic information throughout the program occurs concurrently with the development of clinical skills. PBL is an approach that develops problem solving strategies, a disciplinary knowledge base and professional skills. PBL places students in the active role of a problem solver confronted with an issue/patient scenario, which mirrors a real-world situation. In many examples, the students study real-life cases. There are four highly integrated streams in each year of the Bachelor of Oral Health that continue through the three years of the program. Some classes are delivered in a team context with Bachelor of Dental Surgery students.

Global Learning
The University of Adelaide is committed to offering all its students the opportunity to study overseas through a range of programs including student exchange, study tours and summer and winter schools. There are many exciting opportunities in the Americas, Europe and Asia. For the most up-to-date information about these programs please visit www. adelaide.edu.au/student/study_abroad

In third year, students have the opportunity to undertake an Oral Health Elective to broaden their research and experience in preferred areas.

Second year

Third year

Dental and Health Science 3 aims to further develop and consolidate the paedodontic clinical role and the more specialised aspects of the oral health therapist, including areas such as early childhood, special needs, geriatric dentistry, and dental public health. Human Biology This stream aims to equip students with the biological grounding for the practice of oral health. It is an introduction to the anatomy and physiology of the human body and in particular to the orofacial regions. This leads to the study of the Human Biology 2 stream, which prepares students to understand the medical aspects of clinical oral health practice including pharmacology, the use of local anaesthetics and the management of dental and medical emergencies in dental practice. Clinical Practice Clinical Practice provides students with the opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application in a clinical setting. This stream will build on students skills as clinicians in oral health therapy practice. Each successive year assists in the consolidation of skills in preventive (minimal intervention), periodontal and restorative clinical practice. Professional Studies This stream will assist students in developing a broad range of generic skills to support their role asoral health care workers. Communication skills will be developed to assist students in their role as oral health educators. Team building communication introduces the concept of teamwork, which underpins the professional role of member of the dental team. It will enable students to communicate effectively and facilitate the establishment of professional working relationships with patients and other members of the dental team. Students are also introduced to evidence based dentistry to enable them to apply evidence-based decision making to the clinical issues they may be faced with.

Oral Health Elective This stream is made available to students in third year and provides the opportunity to focus on a major area of interest that will enhance a students role as an oral health professional. Study will be in the form of a research-based project that will allow exploration of a focus area in greater depth.
