Course/Module description:
This course provides each student with basic clinical training and experience in comprehensive treatment for undergraduate students. Students are given the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in comprehensive treatment planning, health promotion, disease prevention and the management of a recall system. Each student is assigned to a clinical group which is managed by dentists. These clinical instructors provide the students with training in diagnosis, treatment planning, sequencing and the actual treatment of their assigned patients. Consultations in the various specialties of dentistry occur as required. The instructors direct and coordinate the total dental health care of the patients of each of their students. Weekly seminars are provided to discuss and review dental techniques and journal articles. Individual student meetings are scheduled to discuss clinical performance.

Course/Module aims:
This course aims at preparing the fifth year student to be capable of formulating comprehensive treatment plans and manage the recall system for their patients. This is a clinical course where the students are given the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge in comprehensive treatment planning, oral health promotion and oral disease prevention. During this clinical training, fifth year dental students will be able to perform basic clinical procedures to their assigned patients under the direct supervision of clinical instructors and other specified faculty. These experiences prepare the students to develop clinical competency in these disciplines to a satisfactory level serving the needs of their patients.

Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
• Perform a thorough patient anamnesis including: medical review, sociological and psychological review, dental history and risk assessment.
• Perform a thorough clinical examination including: examination of head and neck and orofacial soft tissues, examination of teeth and restorations and radiographic examination, assessing occlusal status in scheme of the treatment plan and being able to execute an occlusal analysis.
• Demonstrate a range of diagnostic skills by: evaluating medical histories, showing radiographic diagnosis/diagnostic skills, identification of pathologies of oral soft and hard tissues and demonstrate skills for caries risk assessment.
• Demonstrate accurate dental charting، assessing the need for consultation with specialists in the fields of periodontics/endodontics/orthodontics/oral surgery /oral medicine.
• Diagnose by determining the variation from normal and detection of pathological and etiological conditions.
• Evaluate teeth and supporting structures from a prognostic standpoint.
• Demonstrate the ability of developing sequenced treatment plans designed to consider patients’ desires and limitations، to eliminate or control etiological factors and create a functional and maintainable oral environment.
• Demonstrate clinical skills in the treatment/restoration of teeth to form, function, esthetic standards (restoring damaged teeth due to caries, trauma, post endodontic treatment and iatrogenic dentistry) and develop maintenance protocols as assessed by the clinical instructors every 3 months in a narrative report.
• Maintain patient case assignment at satisfactory level for continued care, and understand developing and following recall systems.
