This course continues a student's exposure to the specialist dental disciplines.
Students will consolidate skills and competence in history taking, assessment, recognition, diagnosis, care planning and aspects of management for conditions commonly managed within the dental specialties including prosthodontics, endodontics, dentomaxillofacial radiology, oral medicine, oral surgery and orthodontics.
Students will begin to acquire knowledge and an appreciation of aspects of children's dentistry and special needs dentistry. To support their understanding and clinical skills in these areas students will explore aspects of human and oral diseases, general medicine and surgery, analgesia and anesthesia, dental pharmacology and therapeutics, the human life cycle, growth and development, disability and medical compromise.
Each week students will undertake approximately 6 hours of clinical patient care including provision of care, dental assisting and observations and 9 hours of competency building activities such as lectures, seminars, problem-based learning, workshops, self-directed activities and pre-clinical simulation exercises. This course assumes approximately 3 hours of self-directed learning each week.

This course follows from DENT3070 and continues introducingᅠ students to a range of specialist dental disciplines expanding the breadth of their clinical knowledge, skills, and understanding beyond those needed for the delivery of basic general dental care.

Students will acquire skills and attain competence in history taking, assessment, recognition, diagnosis, care planning, and aspects of management for a range of dental, oral, facial, and masticatory conditions commonly managed within the dental specialties including removable prosthodontics, endodontics, and orthodontics.ᅠᅠ

Task description

The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the student’s clinical performance at the interim stage and provide formative feedback to support improvement before the final clinical competence assessment at the end of semester.

Course Coordinator in consultation with the MNHHS Oral Health Centre clinical supervisory team will complete a report based on student’s clinical performance during the assessment period and quality of critical self-reflections following each clinical session.

See Submission Guidelines for all components that must be submitted for the interim clinical practice performance task to be assessed. Detailed assessment criteria and rubrics will be provided on Blackboard.

Four domains will be assessed to an expectations met (EM) or not met (ENM) standard and mapped to the Professional competency requirements for the accreditation body for this program - The Australian Dental Council (Professional Competencies of the newly Qualified Dentist)

The domains being assessed are: 

1. Professionalism, Communication and Health Promotion 

2. Scientific knowledge and Clinical Information Gathering

3. Critical Thinking, Diagnosis and Management Planning

4. Clinical Treatment and Evaluation

To achieve a pass, the criteria are as follows:

All domains are weighted equally, and the student must achieve a pass in each domain, and an overall pass.

  • A pass in each domain will involve a student receiving 2 or fewer "expectations not met" (ENM) mark in Domain 1, and no more than one "expectation not met" (ENM) in Domains 2-4. 
  • An overall pass for the report will involve a student receiving 4 or fewer "expectations not met" (ENM) mark across the 4 domains.


In addition to this, there must be NO outstanding missing information within ISOH or the relevant patient management system. This includes missed treatment items, unsigned clinical records and incomplete OPG reviews. If this is not completed to a satisfactory standard, it will be deemed a fail grade for the assessment item. Please refer to the policy titled, "Process for Managing Incomplete Clinical Records by UQ Dentistry Students".


Please note:

  • Written feedback will be provided for any areas to improve as this is formative. Students must reflect on feedback and demonstrate improvement in the latter half of the semester.
  • ePAD records may be randomly audited by the Course Coordinator for authenticity and supervisor signatures.
  • Any significant clinical concerns related to patient safety will be escalated immediately via clinical communication pathways and documented and taken into consideration for the assessment outcomes.


There is no resubmission or resit available for this component. This is a formative assessment to enable the student to receive feedback on their developing clinical competency.

Any significant clinical concerns pertaining to patient safety will be escalated via clinical communication pathways to the course coordinator and recorded on this report to be considered for the assessment outcome.
