| Unaided Work: | For every lesson, students should read or listen to materials in e-studies (methodical materials, video and scientific articles); In 7th class students must prepare a fully completed patient card with an assessment of the disease risk, a treatment plan and a letter to the patient. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | 50% written exam + 40% grade of practical class test + 10% attendance of practical classes. | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Full-Time): | Exam (Written) | ||||||||
| Final Examination (Part-Time): | |||||||||
| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | Will name and characterise the oral health assessment indices, corresponding codes. Will describe the methods for caries risk assessment. Will classify professionally applied fluoride products and will explain their indications in different caries risk groups. Will name occlusal and proximal dental sealant indications. | ||||||||
| Skills: | Will apply oral health assessment indices. Will detect and record the stage and activity of carious lesions. Will apply professional topical fluorides according to patient's age and caries risk group. Will apply occlusal and proximal sealants. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | Will be able to independently assess the need for different caries diagnostic, detection, prevention and treatment methods, taking into consideration the needs of each patient; will be able to follow the scientific literature about new diagnostic and treatment tools and rational use of existing methods. | ||||||||
