Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Successfully completed study course Prosthetic Dentistry - Clinic (ZPK_015) (4.8.) to be transfered to 9 th semester. Successfully completed study course Integrated Dentistry ZPK_017 (5.9.) to be tranfered to 10th semester. Successful evaluations in clinical study courses: cariology, endodontics, periodontology, and dental prosthetics. Radiology. Successfully completed previously completed all study courses.
Objective:
Enhance the level of students' skills, knowledge and competence by allowing them to combine previously acquired knowledge and practical skills in a new quality, raising their level of competence and bringing them closer to the general practice dental model, looking at the patient as a whole and carrying out all the necessary treatment according to their level of competence.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
Analysis of clinical cases placed in e-studies and preparation of versions of treatment plans for discussion in seminars. Selection of literature and research articles needed for solving the problem of topical seminars and lectures in the e-environment in the library database and analysis of these materials in order to participate in the evidence-based discussion on dental forecasts, long-term results of restorations, comparison of prosthetics and materials used, analysis of different treatment results at dysfunctions and pathologies.
Assessment Criteria:
1. The evaluation of clinical work in work units, which allows in percentages to reflect the quality of the work done, expressed in a 10 - point system. 2. The number of fully cured patients – full diagnostics, treatment plan development and complete treatment. 3. Theoretical knowledge is evaluated in 5 colloquia. 4. Evaluation of independent work with completed self-assessment e-tests.

Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:On successful completion of 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 history and the impact of existing illnesses on the selected treatment; • recognise both individual tooth and bite pathologies; • draw up both optimal and alternative treatment plans for the particular clinical situation, justifying the chosen treatment and setting scientifically based long-term forecasts; • will be able to evaluate the necessity of the implementation of the proposed treatment plan stages and to offer optimal dental treatment and prosthetics; • recognise dysfunction of the musculature and temporo - mandibular joints, be able to differentiate them from pathologies with similar symptoms; • recognise the causes of tooth wear, be able to assess the associated possible change in the vertical dimension of occlusion, and offer options of restoration.
Skills:On successful completion of the study course the student will be able to use both theory and problem solving skills independently, i.e.: • justify the proposed treatment plan; • properly use the terms; • evaluate pathology; • establish a long-term prognosis; • plan the stages of the treatment to be performed and treat the patient's oral cavity and dental prosthesis according to the justified treatment plan.
Competencies:On successful completion of the study course, the student will be able to independently formulate and critically analyse different clinical cases by making informed decisions in the proposed treatment plans, as well as to complete the treatment.
