The unit also provides foundation knowledge in oral biosciences, to gain a detailed understanding of the oral facial development, anatomy, histology, oral biochemistry, microbiology of oral cavity in health and disease, pathological conditions of oral facial regions and principles of dental biomaterial. Studies in head and neck anatomy, histology and biomaterials also include practical components.

This unit introduces the concepts associated with Professional Practice, Clinical Management and Population Oral Health. It also addresses the morphology, development, eruption and exfoliation of teeth to provide a framework for understanding the structure of primary and permanent teeth. The student will also be introduced to the discipline of Cariology and the prevention and management of the disease of dental caries. Students will be introduced to ethics and law. The treatment and restoration of advanced carious lesions will be introduced in Tooth Conservation and Endodontics, where the early development of technical skills in the simulation clinic will be supported by didactic teaching sessions.

This unit provides students with the necessary skills to expand their treatment planning skills for patients in a general dental practice situation, using non-invasive primary and secondary preventive strategies and to undertake the management of patients presenting in pain. Students will build on their initial clinical experience by expanding the complexity of cavities and range of materials used in their treatment of patients. The foundations of Endodontics will be deepened and broadened to include advanced concepts. The program of Dental Trauma will teach students the guidelines and skills needed for the general management of acute traumatic dental injuries. The area of trauma represents a significant crossover between the disciplines of Endodontics, Paediatric Dentistry and Oral Surgery. Complementary to the clinical work, the Professional practice program covers those domains of dentistry practice that foster the development of oral health professionals who are competent, caring and committed to the healing of their patients. This discipline will explore the topics of social justice, clinical ethics and professional integrity as well as examining behavioural science learning topics including effective communication and management skills.

This unit of study will introduce students to the management of common denture-related problems frequently encountered in practice and includes repairs and reline procedures. More advanced rehabilitation procedures involving overdentures will also be introduced as well as the fundamental theoretical and technical framework for fixed prosthodontics. The crucial importance of the supporting soft and hard tissues will be emphasised by intensive exposure to diagnosis and management of common periodontal diseases with a focus on non-surgical periodontal therapy. This unit also aims to provide the student with the practical application of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning of simple malocclusions and interceptive cases. The learning sessions in paediatric dentistry will include restorative options (including pulp therapy), medically compromised patients, syndromes and clefts, and caries. Students will also learn to provide total patient care to the rapidly growing, diverse and dynamic aging population by addressing the complexities of management of individual medical, nutritional, and preventive care required.

The Elective program option offers students an opportunity to undertake supervised experience in aspect of dentistry. The placement may occur locally, interstate or overseas. It is an opportunity to prepare for a particular career direction, explore different experiences or enhance skills in particular areas of a student's choice. Students organise their own Elective, but if advice or assistance is needed students can contact the Academic Elective Coordinator. Successful completion of this unit will be recorded on the student transcript.

Students will continue to critically appraise the research evidence and assess their applicability in clinical practice. Students will develop written summaries of evidence (critically appraised topics (CAT) summaries) addressing a focused clinical questions raised during clinical practice. Students will continue to apply Evidence Based Dentistry principles based on clinical scenarios to inform treatment planning decisions. . At the completion of this unit of study, students will submit their final research project report (critical literature review), or present their experimental/original research at the School Research Day.

Students will undertake treatment and maintenance of patients with moderate to severe periodontitis (observation of periodental surgery), peri-implantitis. Students are required to provide a complete course of periodontal care and thus learn to evaluate the prognosis of periodontally involved teeth.
The unit further aims to develop an understanding of behaviour management and pain control for paediatric patients; the provision of care for paediatric patients recognising and managing developmental anomalies. Students also may treat medically compromised children. Students will gain an understanding of the knowledge and scope of orthodontics carried out by general practitioners as well as the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea.

Learning in Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine builds upon earlier material and will assist students to develop a critical understanding of the maxillofacial and oral diseases as well as systemic diseases with oral manifestations that may be encountered in the course of their professional career and be called upon to diagnose, prevent and treat. The course in Oral Surgery further prepares the student for surgical procedures beyond the level of skill acquired in earlier years, and exposes the student to the hospital setting and observing advanced surgical procedures. Study in conscious sedation develops deeper understanding of sedation techniques as well as of medical emergency and life support. The course content of Special Care Dentistry aims to develop the students' knowledge and skills to manage patients with special needs, including intellectual and physical disabilities, mental illnesses, neurodegenerative disorders and frail/elderly patients.
