Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Successfully completed study course for transition to the 9th semester Dental Prosthetics – Clinic ZPK_015 Successfully completed study course for transition to the 10th semester Integrated Dentistry ZPK_026 Successful assessments in clinical study courses: cariology, endodontics, periodontology and dental prosthetics.
Objective:
To increase students’ level of skills, knowledge and competence, giving the opportunity to combine previously acquired knowledge and practical skills in a new quality, raising their level of competence and bringing it closer to the dentistry model of general practice, looking at the patient as a whole, and performing all necessary treatment according to one’s level of competence.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
Analysis of clinical cases posted in the e-learning environment and preparation of versions of treatment plans for discussion in seminars. Selection of the literature and research articles necessary for solving the problem posted in the e-learning environment of the current seminars and lectures in the library database and analysing these materials in order to participate in an evidence-based discussion about dental predictions, long-term results of restorations, comparison of prosthetic types and materials used, analysis of different therapy results in case of dysfunctions and pathologies.
Assessment Criteria:
1. Evaluation of clinical work in units of completed work, which allows to reflect the quality of completed work in %, expressing it on a 10-point scale. 2. The number of fully treated patients has been determined – complete diagnosis, development of a treatment plan and successfully completed treatment. 3. Theoretical knowledge is evaluated in colloquia. 4. Evaluation of independent learning.

Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		As a result of successfully completing the study course, the student is able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge corresponding to evidence-based decision-making in medical treatment, i.e.: • will be able to evaluate the patient’s medical anamnesis and the impact of existing diseases on the selected treatment; • will recognise both individual tooth and bite pathologies; • will draw up both optimal and alternative treatment plans for the specific clinical situation, justifying the chosen treatment and determining scientifically based long-term forecasts; • will be able to evaluate the need for the sequence of implementation of the stages of the proposed treatment plan and offer optimal dental treatment and prosthetics; • will recognise the dysfunctions of the muscles of mastication and the temporomandibular joint, will be able to differentiate them from pathologies with similar symptoms; • will recognise the causes of tooth wear, will be able to evaluate the associated possible change in the vertical dimension of occlusion and offer restoration options.
Skills:		As a result of successfully completing the study course, the student will be able to independently use both theory and problem-solving skills, i.e.: • to justify the proposed treatment plan; • to use terms correctly; • to assess the pathology; • to set a long-term forecast; • to plan the stages of the treatment to be performed and perform the treatment of the patient’s oral cavity and dental prosthetics according to the justified treatment plan.
Competencies:		As a result of successfully completing the study course, the student will be able to independently formulate and critically analyse different clinical cases, making informed decisions in the proposed treatment plans, and comprehensively perform this treatment.
