Course/Module description:
This course provides each student with basic and advanced clinical training and experience in comprehensive treatment. This multidisciplinary prosthodontic treatment experience will include the following disciplines: oral diagnosis, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics, periodontics, orthodontics, hospital dentistry. Consultations in these various specialties of dentistry are available upon need. The course is focused on: operative dentistry, fixed prosthodontics, dental implants and digital dentistry. 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 a dentist (Prosthodontist/general dentist). The clinical instructors provide the students with training in diagnosis, treatment planning, sequencing and the actual treatment of their assigned patients. The student, supervised by the instructors, direct and coordinate the total dental health care of their patients. Weekly seminars are provided to discuss student's cases 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 sixth year student to be capable to manage and preform multidisciplinary prosthodontic treatment. To Implement and integrate the acquired knowledge during his studies: formulate comprehensive treatment plans, treat and manage the recall system for their patients. Acquire knowledge for diagnosis and treatment tools of adult patients with an indication for teeth supported FPD and implant supported fixed dentures. 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, dental students will be able to perform basic and advanced 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 in privated6 practice and in the community.

Learning outcomes - 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.
• Perform a thorough patient anamnesis and clinical examination
• Discuss the diagnosis dental diseases and etiological
• Recommend detailed comprehensive treatment plan
• Assemble caries management by risk assessment
• 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.
