This module develops knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the theoretical background and scientific basis of Periodontology and integration of periodontal treatment in total patient care. The aetiology, classification and diagnosis of periodontal diseases and the multifactorial nature of disease susceptibility will be considered regarding the role of major risk factors. The epidemiology of periodontitis and the interaction between systemic diseases will be considered. Clinical skills training will include management of simple/moderate periodontal disease by non-surgical and surgical means. Students, working singly and in groups, will seek knowledge through a range of learning modalities: Lectures, critical appraisals and skills practice.

This module will develop knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of endodontic disease. Students will obtain a foundation of basic science knowledge relevant to the understanding of Endodontology. They will develop relevant knowledge and clinical skills in the principles of root canal treatment and be able to carry out non-complex treatment. They will develop knowledge on how to assess and manage endodontic complications within the context of other dental specialties and so understand treatment options. Students, working singly and in groups, will seek knowledge through a range of learning modalities: Lectures, critical appraisals and skills practice.

This module will develop knowledge in the diagnosis and treatment of caries and other conditions that impact negatively on the biological health and structure of teeth. Students will obtain a foundation of basic science knowledge relevant to the understanding of Prosthodontics. They will develop relevant knowledge and clinical skills in the principles of management of compromised teeth and the dentition as a whole using direct and indirect restorative systems. They will learn when and how to provide the most appropriate restorative modalities to restore function and aesthetics in a predictable and durable manner with due attention to the achievement of occlusal harmony. Students, working singly and in groups, will seek knowledge through a range of learning modalities: Lectures, critical appraisals and skills practice.

This module will develop knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the effect that loss of teeth has on function, aesthetics and the patient's psychological well-being. Students will develop an in-depth and critical understanding of the different restorative methods available for the restoration of function and aesthetics of a partial dentition in a predictable and durable manner. Students will develop the necessary skills to establish a diagnosis, prognosis and treatment strategy for the management of the partially dentate patient.

Research is key to the practice of clinical dentistry. This unit will introduce students to the background reading and critical appraisal of the literature related to their chosen project.

The candidate will attend consultant clinics and case based discussion seminars which develop the skills required for Restorative Dentistry practice with an emphasis on the development of a multidisciplinary treatment strategy specific to the needs and expectations of an individual patient. The candidate will develop the skills to effectively communicate these treatment strategies to the patient and colleagues in primary or secondary care who may be required to execute them.

Research methods are a key part of clinical dentistry. This unit will aim to introduce students to patient-centred research methods and will include evidence-based dentistry, critical appraisal, research governance and ethics, quantitative and qualitative research methods, statistical appraisal of research reports.

This module introduces the basic concepts of clinical management of a patient including clinical governance, cross-infection control and radiology.

The candidate will attend consultant clinics and case based discussion seminars which will develop competency in the skills required for Restorative Dentistry practice with an emphasis on the development of a multidisciplinary treatment strategy specific to the needs and expectations of an individual patient. The candidate will be competent at effectively communicating these treatment strategies to the patient and colleagues in primary or secondary care who may be required to execute them.

In this module, students will undertake experimental work and data collection aspects for their chosen research project under the direction of the supervisory team.

This module provides the clinical experience for the candidate to become competent in the skills required for Restorative Dentistry practice. The emphasis is on the development of clinical skills within the monospecialty, but embraces a multidisciplinary treatment strategy specific to the needs and expectations of individual patients. Effective communication with colleagues, whilst managing patients for shared care will also be developed throughout this unit .

This module provides the clinical experience to develop the key skills of the specialist to a proficient level, including diagnosis, treatment planning and management of patients within the speciality and for patients requiring multidisciplinary care within restorative dentistry and other disciplines of dentistry. It will enable the student to develop a deeper understanding of treatment planning across the dental disciplines and monitoring of treatment outcomes.

The candidate will attend consultant clinics and case based discussion seminars, during which they will demonstrate proficiency in the skills required for Restorative Dentistry practice with an emphasis on the development of a multidisciplinary treatment strategy specific to the needs and expectations of an individual patient. They will become proficient at communicating these treatment strategies to the patient and colleagues in primary or secondary care who may be required to execute them.

This unit will introduce students to the analysis and report writing aspects of research and preparation of a manuscript for submission to a scientific journal.
