Course Description This is a preclinical course -composed of theoretical and practical componentsdesigned to introduce students to rehabilitation of edentulous patients using complete dentures. The didactic part covers the theoretical chairside and laboratory procedures of complete denture production. The practical component will provide the students with the skill and the understanding of laboratory procedures required for construction of the complete denture prosthesis. A series of exercises are conducted to prepare the student for the clinical phase of managing edentulous patients.

Course Objectives The theoretical course provides the platform of basic knowledge of dental procedures and stepwise methodologies leading to the construction of a successful denture Relevance and evidence of each methodology is introduced along with alternative current practices. The lab provides hands-on training to develop basic skills of laboratory procedures which are incorporated in the denture design. The hands-on experience produces various outcomes related to students limited abilities. These faulty procedures are used as an education tool to construct critical assessment skills and relate them to clinical complaints and patient managements. Students are introduced to the e-Learning course which follows the progress of student and allows for a customised learning path based on students abilities. E-Learning based quizzes and assignments will help introduce students to the clinical situations by simulations designed to be used as self learning material

Teaching & Learning Methods Class lectures, handouts and presentations are designed to achieve the course objectives Laboratory sessions are essential part of the course Demonstrations performed by the teaching assistant are main component of the teaching methods E-learning program will be activated concurrently with presented courses to provide activities and template questions to increase proficiency of students in relevant subjects. Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to Related Refrance

Additional Notes Professionalism

Professions tend to be autonomous and self-sufficient which means having a high degree of control of own affairs while having freedom to exercise professional judgment/ As it is a trait, which can be easily enhanced, it is thus subject to self-interest and a continuous process of critical evaluation of ethics and procedure/ As the students have been part of the university for some considerable time, they would be familiar with general principles about its beliefs on matters such as quality studentship within this environment/ We thus expect our students to develop their professionalism even further

group assignments in the lab Attendance is encouraged at all times on time To receive course credit, a student should attend a minimum of 90% of the contact hours of the class; meaning losing only one and a half lecture/ ABSENCES FROM CLASS ARE COUNTED FROM THE DAY THE CLASS MEETS OFFICIALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME - NOT FROM WHEN THE STUDENT OFFICIALLY ENTERS THE CLASS/ Students who are absent for the lecture must contact the course coordinator prior to the class/ If absent from lectures, then the course coordinator will refer to related guidelines set by the university/ Any student who is absent on a test day, will have to demonstrate an acceptable medical or social statement explaining the illness or personal crisis as instructed by their faculty/ Individual instructors may accommodate by arrangements for a make-up test only when a written request is sent to and approved by the Dean/ Any student who feels that s/he may need accommodation for any type of disability is encouraged to contact the course coordinator who will be happy to help in any way/ Accommodations to the course plan can be tailored to the needs of specific individuals after consultations with the dean/ MCQs will be computer based and the answers will be discussed in the class/ Written answers will take shortessay, definition, enumeration and matching questions/ All students are highly encouraged to participate in the classes and laboratory session Quizzes and brain storming will be essential part of the course The course coordinator is always available to talk with the student when problems arise/ If you have any problems that require the attention of an instructor, do not wait until the problem is insurmountable/ If a student must talk with the course coordinator after office hours, an appointment can be made for that time/ Do not allow tension to build-up to unsolvable proportions/ Information contained in this course outline is correct at the time of publication/
