• performed the activities outlined in the performance criteria of this unit during a period of at least 240 hours of work in a clinical dental workplace environment

• prepared 4 patients for adjustment and maintenance of a range of new and existing dental prostheses

• followed procedures to ensure 4 patient’s safety during adjustment and maintenance

• assessed the functional and aesthetic acceptability of at least 4 different completed prostheses.

 To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency.   Regular attendance is necessary.  Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks and consist of theory and practical based tasks.

 

 


Assessment Tasks

TASK 1 Knowledge evidence assessment - open book assessment - all questions to be answered to achieve Satisfactory

TASK 2 Practical Assessment   Undertake Clinical placement and skills evidence record – observation checklist (4 patients – 2 x partial, 2 x full) for adjustment and maintenance of new and existing dental prosthesis.Clinical log book used as proof of 240 hrs in the clinical dental workplace.

TASK 3 ADC Assessment 

          In order to meet the requirements of the Australian Dental Council (ADC) accreditation of this program, students are required to undertake an assessment by external assessors.

You will not be given an opportunity to undertake this assessment until you have been deemed satisfactory in clinical competencies by your clinical demonstrators. 

The assessment will be undertaken in two parts;

  1. Case presentations to a panel of external assessors (using 1 - F/F case and 1 - Partial denture case that have been deemed as assessment cases, with no guidance from anyone else, throughout all stages of the treatment), you will present the treatment that you undertook for the clients and respond to questions from the panel. The presentation must include a full case history as well as photographic evidence of the treatment.
  2. External assessors will assess the work undertaken in the clinical environment at the check visit, you may be asked into the clinical booth at the time to discuss the treatment. This will be at the discretion of the assessors.
