| Study course description | |||||||||
| Preliminary Knowledge: | To start study course (or semester) all previous assessments according to Study plan (D1) should be successfully passed. Human anatomy, normal and pathologic physiology, histology, biomaterials in dentistry, roentgenology and radiology, internal disease with basic propaedeutic, emergency care and pharmacology. | ||||||||
| Objective: | Upon completion of the course the students will have acquired the basic knowledge of pain, discomfort and psychological stress elimination, basic knowledge of the most common oral surgical procedures – exodontics and preprosthetic surgery in general dentistry practice. To acquire and practically apply in the clinic the skills of local anesthesia and simple and complicated exodontics, and performing small surgical manipulations in the dentoalveolar region, acquire and practically apply administration of medications subcutaneously, intramuscularly and intravenously, make profilaksis and management for possible complications. Abtaine competence to communicate and clinically investigate patient and to make diagnosis of pathology in clinical setting, to abtaine competence to make dentoalveolar surgery with pain management according to dentoalveolar procedure and patient's general health status. | ||||||||

| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Individual acquisition of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in compliance with the topic of each practical class, independent study of the given literature. Please fill in the course evaluation form at the end of the course. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | During the practical classes, the lecturer observes student's communication skills and attitude towards patients, lecturers, group members and other medical staff. Before each class there is a short discussion about current topic. The lecturer asks questions about the theory, expecting oral answers. Students answer to control questions in writing or electronically. During the course students fill in all manipulations in the “Student Diary in oral and maxillofacial Surgery” including i/m, i/v, s/c injection techniques and signature from MITC lecturer. At the end of the course an exam, which consists of 2 theoretical questions and the following tasks: 1. Name the chosen types of local anesthesia for tooth or root extraction (by drawing lots). 2. Choice of instruments for tooth or root extraction (by drawing lots), as well as additional questions about instruments. 3. X-ray description (by drawing lots). The type of X-ray image should be named, the radiological pathology should be described, the possible clinical diagnosis should be mentioned. Students' practical work in clinical classes, which is described and approved by the lecturer's signature in "Student's diary of oral and maxillofacial Surgery" is evaluated. The lecturer asks questions about students' practical work in previous semesters. At the study course student’s performance is evaluated in cumulative assessment. Total final grade is formed from the fulfilment of the following criteria with an appropriate proportion: 1. Class attendance - 15% 2. Attitude and communication to patients, staff and colleagues (classmates) - 20% 3. Performance in practical class and seminars - 15% 4. Course final exam - 50% | ||||||||
