Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
Successfully completed study course Preclinical Course in Prosthetic Dentistry IV (ZPK_025). Successfully completed study course Prosthetic Dentistry - Clinic ZPK_028 (4.7.) Successfully completed study course Dental anatomy, craniofacial aspects of physics and bio-materials, medical emergency, radiology, normal physiology, oral pathology diagnosis, clinical pharmacology, prosthodontics clinic dental technical laboratory.
Objective:
To develop students' skills in the clinic, diagnosing oral cavity pathology in a patient, using modern technologies, making a simple dental treatment plan for a real patient; to develop skills and abilities in clinical work by performing dentures on patients.

Assessment
Unaided Work:
Control of theoretical knowledge with tests, colloquiums, exams, discussions on unclear questions, clinical work with the patient, collection of anamnesis, examination, work with literature, drawing up treatment plans, carrying out the clinical stages of dental prosthetics. Grinding teeth on Simodont Moog clinical simulators for your patient's teeth (from oral cavity sound) before real work in the clinic. Parelometry should be performed and the design of a metal-based removable prosthesis should be drawn on one plaster model of one's patient. In order to evaluate the quality of the study course as a whole, the student must fill out the study course evaluation questionnaire on the Student Portal.
Assessment Criteria:
1st Part Active participation in practical classes, ability to independently prepare all necessary instrumentation and materials in order to perform the planned work stage and ability to perform the particular stage of clinical work. Eligible treatment plans or other homeworks submitted electronically to the group tutor in timely manner. Passed all 3 colloquiums (1 theroterical colloquium, 2 treatment planning colloquium). Attended/ active interaction in discussion during seminars/ submitted or presented presentations in 8 seminars. At the end of the semester at least 1 prosthetic unit should be done (fixed or removable). 2nd Part Active participation in practical classes, ability to independently prepare all necessary instrumentation and materials in order to perform the planned work stage and ability to perform the particular stage of clinical work. Eligible treatment plans or other homeworks submitted electronically to the group tutor in timely manner. Passed all 3 tests. Submitted 5 treatment plans/homeworks on e-studies; active interaction in discussion during seminars. Passed all 3 colloquiums. At the end of the semester at least 1 fixed prosthetic unit and 1 removable prosthetic unit should be done. At the end of the course- writing exam (finding mistakes in the treatment plan, treatment planning, theoretical questions).

Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:On successful study course completion the students will be able to define the patient's problem and be able to explain the treatment plan in prosthetics for simple clinical situations. Students will be able to describe the stages of treatment, the applied treatment technology and the used materials, prosthetics tools, removable and non-removable making dentures. Will use knowledge of the use of digital technology in dentistry.
Skills:On successful study course completion students will be able to develop a simple clinical situations treatment plan in dental prosthetics and make prosthetic non-removable and removable dentures, working through the simple steps of clinical situations. Will know how to use intraoral scanners.
Competencies:By developing a treatment plan students will be able to properly organize clinically obtained information, process and interpret it. When working with patients in clinic, students will be able to solve a variety of problem situations, making dental prosthetics in simple clinical situations. Students will be evaluate the use of intraoral scanners in various clinical situations.
