| Study course description | |||||||||
| Preliminary Knowledge: | Successfully completed study course - Dental Anatomy (ZTMVK_056). Prerequisites in Human Anatomy, Medical Physics, General Medical Chemistry, English in Dentistry, Radiology. Successfully completed previously completed all study courses. | ||||||||
| Objective: | 1. To introduce students with the basic principles of functional tooth anatomy and occlusion and to integrate the acquired knowledge in practical work by: taking alginate impression from phantom jaws; by casting plaster models; by modeling teeth on plaster models and by preparation of artificial phantom teeth for metal-ceramic crowns and bridges according to occlusal basic paradigms. 2. To give students an understanding of fixed teeth supported dentures (focusing on metal-ceramic crowns and bridges), of their manufacturing possibilities, of tooth bio-mechanical and aesthetic preparation principles. 3. To develop skills to perform sequential clinical steps in the fabrication of fixed teeth supported dentures (metal-ceramic crowns and bridges on artificial phantom teeth in preclinical conditions) - preparation of upper and lower jaw incisors and canines, according to tooth bio-mechanical preparation principles. | ||||||||

| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | As part of independent work, students have to improve their manual skills by using virtual dental MOOG simulators in preclinic. To learn the theory (lectures, video materials and guidelines) and read the recommended publications according to the list specified in E-studies, whose comprehension will be controlled by e-tests during the lessons. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | 1. Observance of the requirements of RSU Academic Regulations and general regulations in pre-clinical training premises. 2. All 3 tests of lecture control questions with at least 55% evaluation have been successfully passed and evaluated in the 10-point system with at least 4 points. According to the RSU Academic Regulations, the achievement of learning outcomes in exams and tests (for example, computer-based tests and similar) can be assessed as a percentage aligning it with 10-point grading scale: *from 55% to 59% - almost satisfactory(4); * from 60% to 64% - satisfactory (5); * from 65% to 69% - almost good (6); * from 70% to 74% - good (7); * from 75% to 84% - very good (8); * from 85% to 95% - excellent (9); * from 96% to 100% - with distinction (10). If the test is passed unsuccessfully, in order to continue studying in this study course and get permission to write the colloquium, the test must be passed successfully (grade at least 4) before the colloquium lesson. Only the first obtained grade (even if unsuccessful) is taken into account for obtaining the cumulative exam grade. 3. Successfully passed and evaluated in a 10 - point system colloquium with a grade from 4 to 10: According to the RSU Academic Regulations, the achievement of learning outcomes in exams and tests (for example, computer-based tests and similar) can be assessed as a percentage aligning it with 10-point grading scale: *from 55% to 59% - almost satisfactory(4); * from 60% to 64% - satisfactory (5); * from 65% to 69% - almost good (6); * from 70% to 74% - good (7); * from 75% to 84% - very good (8); * from 85% to 95% - excellent (9); * from 96% to 100% - with distinction (10). 4. It is prescribed that each semester examinations (tests of lecture control questions, colloquium) within the framework of the study programme acquisition may be taken not more than three times (if the examination by 1st try was evaluated as not passed - less than 55%, then extra 2 possibilities are offered) according to the RSU Academic Regulations. Absence from the classes in which assessment of knowledge, skills and competence is carried out (a test, a colloquium, etc.) shall be equivalent to the first time of taking the respective semester examination, with exception of cases referred to not taken the semester examination for valid reasons. 5. Successful evaluation in a 10-point system (at least 4) for practical work and seminars in each lesson (9 evaluations). The evaluation of practical work is fixed, taking into account the student's best performance (for example, if in the lesson it was intended to prepare the incisors of the upper jaw and the student has prepared 4 incisives, one of which is rated with 8 points, and the other preparations with 4, 6 and 7 points, then the final grade is the best grade, i.e. 8 points): * 1 successful incisive preparation of the upper jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful canine preparation of the upper jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful incisive preparation of the lower jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful canine preparation of the lower jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 frontal tooth wax-up - 1 evaluation * 1 buccal tooth wax-up- 1 evaluation * 1 alginate impression taking and pouring of diagnostic casts- 1 evaluation * 2 seminars - 2 evaluations. If the student is unsuccessful in any of the practical work, the lecturer must immediately notify the head of the department in order to decide on the student's additional opportunities to improve clinical skills and assessment. 6. Assessment in a 10-point system for the attitude towards work (diligence, analysis of mistakes) and the workplace (preparation for work, timely (10 min before the end of the lesson) finishing the work and arranging the workplace after the end of the work) during the semester. Observance of work safety. During the study course it is possible to obtain an assessment of the attitude towards work 10 points, if during the study course no minuses are obtained in the practical classes. Every minus reduces the assessment of the attitude to work by 1 point. (For example, if during the study course the student has gained 3 minuses, then the evaluation is 7 points). 7. The student needs to complete 75% of the full-time study course, without which further participation in the study course is not possible. Allowed 25% absence of full-time classes (2 lessons) from the total amount of the study course. Of the intended 2.3. 32 academic contact hours of the study course (1 ac.h. = 45min), may be missed 8 ac.h. (=6h= 2 lessons) The cumulative assessment of the exam in the 10-point system is obtained by summarizing all the assessments obtained during the study course and by evaluating all assessment criteria described above: *the requirements of RSU Academic Regulations and general regulations in pre-clinical training premises have been observed; * attendance of classes at least 75% (missed no more than 25% of classes); * 3 assessments in a 10-point system for tests of lecture control questions (arithmetic mean mark - 10% of the exam assessment); * 7 assessments in a 10-point system for 7 lessons of practical work (arithmetic mean mark - 30% of the exam assessment); * successfully passed and evaluated in a 10-point system colloquium with a grade from 4 to 10 (50% of the exam assessment); * 2 assessments in a 10-point system for seminars (arithmetic mean mark - 5% of the exam assessment); * 1 assessment in the 10-point system for the attitude towards work and the workplace and observance of work safety during the semester (5% of the exam assessment). | ||||||||
