Preclinical Course in Prosthetic Dentistry II

As part of independent work, students have to improve their manual skills by using virtual dental MOOG simulators in preclinic. To learn the theory (lectures, video materials and guidelines) and read the recommended publications according to the list specified in E-studies, whose comprehension will be controlled by e-tests during the lessons.

Evaluation criteria 2.4. 1. Observance of the requirements of RSU Academic Regulations and general regulations in pre-clinical training premises. 2. All 4 tests of lecture control questions with at least 55% evaluation have been successfully passed and evaluated in the 10-point system with at least 4 points. According to the RSU Academic Regulations, the achievement of learning outcomes in exams and tests (for example, computer-based tests and similar) can be assessed as a percentage aligning it with 10-point grading scale: *from 55% to 59% - almost satisfactory(4); * from 60% to 64% - satisfactory (5); * from 65% to 69% - almost good (6); * from 70% to 74% - good (7); * from 75% to 84% - very good (8); * from 85% to 95% - excellent (9); * from 96% to 100% - with distinction (10). If the test is passed unsuccessfully, in order to continue studying in this study course and get permission to write the colloquium, the test must be passed successfully (grade at least 4) before the colloquium lesson. Only the first obtained grade (even if unsuccessful) is taken into account for obtaining the cumulative exam grade. 3. Successfully passed and evaluated in a 10 - point system colloquium with a grade from 4 to 10: * with distinction (10) – knowledge, skills and competence exceed the requirements of the study programme, study module or the study course and they testify to the ability to carry out independent research and deep understanding of problems; * excellent (9) - knowledge, skills and competence fully comply with the requirements set for the study programme, study module or the study course; they possess the ability to use independently the knowledge acquired; * very good(8) - the requirements of the study programme, study module or the study course are completely met, though in certain issues they do not have understanding deep enough to use the knowledge independently for solving more complex problems; *good (7) - in general the requirements of the study programme, study module or the study course are met but sometimes the inability to use the acquired knowledge independently is detected; * almost good (6) - the requirements of the study programme, study module or the study course are met, but there is a lack of deep understanding of the problem and inability to use the acquired knowledge; * satisfactory (5) - in total, the study programme, the study module or the study course is acquired but there is insufficient knowledge of certain issues and inability to use the acquired knowledge; * almost satisfactory (4) – in total, the study programme, the study module or the study course is acquired, however, there is insufficient understanding of some basic concepts and there are considerable difficulties in practical application of the acquired knowledge. 4. It is prescribed that each semester examinations (tests of lecture control questions, colloquium) within the framework of the study programme acquisition may be taken not more than three times (if the examination by 1st try was evaluated as not passed - less than 55%, then extra 2 possibilities are offered) according to the RSU Academic Regulations. Absence from the classes in which assessment of knowledge, skills and competence is carried out (a test, a colloquium, etc.) shall be equivalent to the first time of taking the respective semester examination, with exception of cases referred to not taken the semester examination for valid reasons. 5. Successful evaluation in a 10-point system (at least 4) for practical work for each practical skill (10 evaluations). The evaluation of practical work is fixed, taking into account the student's best performance (for example, if in the lesson it was intended to prepare the premolars of the upper jaw and the student has prepared 4 premolars, one of which is rated with 8 points, and the other preparations with 4, 6 and 7 points, then the final grade is the best grade, i.e. 8 points): * 1 successful manufacture of a temporary crown for maxillary and mandibular incisors - 1 evaluation * 1 successful manufacture of a temporary crown for maxillary and mandibular canines - 1 evaluation * 1 successful construction of a temporary bridge in the anterior tooth area - 1 evaluation * 1 successful premolar preparation of the upper jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful premolar preparation of the lower jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful molar preparation of the upper jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful molar preparation of the lower jaw - 1 evaluation * 1 successful construction of a temporary bridge in the posterior tooth area - 1 evaluation * Impression for indirect restorations / Impression taking for crown or bridge fabrication / Fulfillment of a dental technical laboratory order - 1 evaluation * Delivery and cementation of a metal ceramic crown or bridge prosthesis with permanent cement / Cementation of temporary crown or bridge prostheses with temporary cement - 1 evaluation If the student is unsuccessful in any of the practical work, the lecturer must immediately notify the head of the department in order to decide on the student's additional opportunities to improve clinical skills and assessment. 6. Assessment in a 10-point system for the attitude towards work (diligence, analysis of mistakes) and the workplace (preparation for work, timely (10 min before the end of the lesson) finishing the work and arranging the workplace after the end of the work) during the semester. Observance of work safety. During the study course it is possible to obtain an assessment of the attitude towards work 10 points, if during the study course no minuses are obtained in the practical classes. Every minus reduces the assessment of the attitude to work by 1 point. (For example, if during the study course the student has gained 3 minuses, then the evaluation is 7 points). 7. The student needs to complete 80% of the full-time study course, without which further participation in the study course is not possible. Allowed 20% absence of full-time classes from the total amount of the study course. Of the intended 2.4. 60 academic contact hours of the study course (1 ac.h. = 45min), may be missed 12 ac.h. (= 9h = 3 lessons) The cumulative assessment of the exam in the 10-point system is obtained by summarizing all the assessments obtained during the study course and by evaluating the 7 assessment criteria described above: *the requirements of RSU Academic Regulations and general regulations in pre-clinical training premises have been observed; * attendance of classes at least 80% (missed no more than 20% of classes); * 4 assessments in a 10-point system for tests of lecture control questions (arithmetic mean mark - 10% of the exam assessment); * 10 assessments in a 10-point system for 8 lessons of practical work (arithmetic mean mark - 55% of the exam assessment); * successfully passed and evaluated in a 10-point system colloquium with a grade from 4 to 10 (30% of the exam assessment); * 1 assessment in the 10-point system for the attitude towards work and the workplace and observance of work safety during the semester (5% of the exam assessment).
