Assessment
Unaided Work:
Preparing for examinations; studying literature and preparing presentations for seminars on given topics; completing the periodontal chart and treatment plan; preparing clinical case presentation.
Assessment Criteria:
• Active participation in practical classes and seminars; • a test after completion of the preclinical course; • a written test at the end of the 1st semester; • short tests during the course; • clinical case presentation; • written examination at the end of the course. The course's final grade consists of 50% exam grade and 50% annual grade, which is a cumulative assessment of the student's knowledge, skills and competence throughout the course (clinical work with a patient, seminars, presentation of a clinical case). Assessment criteria published in e-studies.
Final Examination (Full-Time):		Exam (Written)
Final Examination (Part-Time):
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to: • explain the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases; • describe how to prevent periodontal disease progression and maintain periodontal patients; • to understand the classification of periodontal diseases and recognise periodontal diseases and conditions • understand the principles of periodontal treatment, the different phases and their sequence.
Skills:		On successful completion of the course, the students will be able to: • to perform a periodontal examination on a patient and diagnose periodontal disease; • assess the prognosis of periodontal disease and formulate an appropriate periodontal treatment plan; • diagnose and perform emergency treatment for acute periodontal conditions; • apply non-surgical (conventional) methods of periodontal treatment; • plan the surgical and maintenance phases of treatment; • assess and interpret the results of periodontal treatment.
Competencies:		Upon completing the course, the students can apply their knowledge and practical skills in diagnosing periodontal diseases and complex treatment of oral diseases.
