The patients are selected by members of staff responsible for this unit and will be directly allocated to the students. Students must not treat patients other than those assigned by their clinical supervisor(s). Students will initially treat patients who present with the need for straightforward fixed and removable prosthodontic treatment. Following successful completion of the clinical and technical skills unit they may, later in the course, be challenged with medically compromised patients, complex treatment and re-treatments, interdisciplinary cases and those patients requiring surgical prosthodontics. Case selection and patient load for all students will be determined by their aptitude and clinical competence. Students should demonstrate competence in the following clinical fields: <ul style="color: rgb(60, 60, 60); font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> <li> consultation sessions in fixed/removable prosthodontics;</li> <li> complete upper/lower dentures, including established complete dentures (conventional and template);</li> <li> partial dentures;</li> <li> direct restorations;</li> <li> indirect restoration, including crown/bridge units;</li> <li> TMD.</li> </ul> Students will have patient treatment sessions.
