Required Knowledge
The student must have completed courses that correspond to previous courses carried out during the 1st-7th semester within the dentistry programme.
Form of instruction
The student perform clinical dental practice under supervision. Compulsory accounts of patients and case discussions in the form of seminars are included. At absence from compulsory parts, the one responsible for the courses should be contacted who then decides how the missing part should be supplemented.
Examination modes
The students' knowledge and practical skills will be assessed by the supervisors during clinical practice. To get the grade "Pass" the student must have attended the mandatory parts of the course and have passed the required clinical work. The grade concludes all assessments and is stated after the student has passed all parts of the course with “Pass”-results. A student who hasn't been able to attend during a compulsory element has the right to get an optional appointment. After a consultation with the students' supervisor, the responsible examiner has the right to terminate the ongoing practice if the student shows deficient knowledge and approach and thereby constitutes a risk for the patient. The students practice is then cancelled and he/she receives the grade "Failed". When such a decision is made, the examiner has to offer a plan describing what the additional requirements are to gain the necessary knowledge to proceed with the clinical practice. If the student has acquired the knowledge, attainment and approach that are required, the student has the right to start a new clinical practice period. During practice the student has the right to change examiner. A written request to change examiner has to be submitted to the Programme council for the Odontological Programmes (PRO).
