This unit of study introduces students to the concepts and foundational knowledge of Tooth Morphology, Periodontics theory and Cariology and Prevention.

This unit of study introduces students to the practice of dental radiography, professionalism and ethics, communication and motivational behaviour change and the development of periodontal and tooth conservation knowledge and skills in the simulation clinic.

This unit of study occupies as a significant portion of learning in Year 1 and is gradually replaced by clinically focused units of study as the course progresses. As a foundational unit of study, students are introduced to the head and neck anatomy and the biochemical and biological processes which are fundamental to life, cells and tissues.

In this unit of study students build on the theoretical knowledge of periodontics cariology and prevention and are introduced to the foundations of health and the framework for health promotion.

In this unit, students continue to develop the skills needed for Periodontal Instrumentation and Tooth Conservation in a simulation environment, and begin to apply these periodontal instrumentation skills in the pre-clinical setting. Additionally, students continue to build on foundational theory and practice of dental radiography, professionalism and ethics, communication and motivational behaviour change.

This unit of study further builds on head and neck anatomy knowledge and also introduces major human organ systems in health and disease that are significant in the oral disease diagnosis and patient management.

In semester 1, this unit of study continues to deepen the knowledge and understanding of students in periodontics, cariology and health promotion, and introduce paediatrics and evidence based practice.

In semester 1, this unit of study, students are introduced to periodontal clinical practice, the theory and practice of medical emergency management, and build on radiography knowledge. Students learn the theory and practice of local anaesthesia, the application of the Caries Management System to patient care and engage in pre-clinical practice.

This unit of study continues introducing major human organ systems in health and disease and related pharmacotherapeutics principles that are significant in the oral disease diagnosis and patient management.

This unit of study continues to deepen the knowledge and understanding of students in integrated theory, oral health in society, and evidence based practice.

In semester 2, students are introduced to restorative clinical practice and continue to build on periodontal and radiographic knowledge and skills. Students learn the application of evidence-based practice in the clinic and further investigate the ethical and professional concepts required for accepted behaviour in clinical practice.

This unit introduces the complexity of host-microbial interactions, advanced oral physiology and related oral facial dysfunction, and oral pathobiology of common dental and oral conditions to support understanding of the clinical disciplines.

This unit of study continues to broaden the student's knowledge and understanding in the profession of Oral Health Therapy. Tutorials take the form of scenarios, encouraging the integration and application of critical thinking and clinical decision-making based on evidence. Students also participate in a Community Placement in which they plan, deliver and evaluate an effective oral health education program.

This unit of study aims to provide students a comprehensive experience in Oral Health clinical practice providing treatment of patients of all ages, including those individuals who are medically compromised. Students are required to demonstrate evidence based clinical decision-making, and high standards of professional conduct and ethics as an oral health professional.

This unit of study aims to tie together all of the clinical and theoretical knowledge gained through evidence based oral health clinical practice related to the scope of practice for Oral Health Therapists. This includes extended age range for restorative treatment.

In this unit of study, students will discuss, critique and defend theoretical and practical Oral Health Therapy concepts related to evidence based patient care. Tutorials take the form of patient scenarios which encourage a comprehensive understanding and integration of knowledge and sound decision-making. Students also reflect on their Community Placement experiences.
