This course builds on the knowledge, skills and understanding developed during Dental Practice III A, III B and IV A through the provision of comprehensive oral care for adult patients with increasingly complex needs.
While maintaining competencies previously achieved students will acquire and consolidate new skills in assessment, recognition and diagnosis of a broad range of dental and oral conditions, comprehensive oral care planning including referrals, preventive oral health care, periodontal care, intra-coronal restorations, endodontics and dental analgesia for patients with moderately complex general dental needs. Fixed and removable prostheses may also be provided within a comprehensive course of care.
Each week students will undertake 6 hours of direct patient care and 3 hours of competency building activities such as lectures, case-based discussions and workshops. This course assumes approximately 3 hours of self-directed learning each week.
Course requirements
Assumed background

Task description
The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate the student’s clinical performance at the mid-semester stage and provide formative feedback to support improvement before the final clinical competence assessment in this course.
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. This will be completed for all three sub components including General Dental Practice Clinical Portfolio (Digital ePAD); Exodontia Competency and Case Identification task.
See Submission Guidelines for all components that must be submitted for the interim clinical practice performance portfolio (ePAD).
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 sign offs.
- 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 clinical concerns pertaining to patient safety will be escalated via clinical communication pathways to the course coordinator and recorded on this report.

Submission guidelines
The portfolio in DENT4060 has three sub components including General Dental Practice Clinical Portfolio (Digital ePAD); Exodontia Competency and Case Identification task.
All subcomponents in the submitted portfolio must be COMPLETE in following respects before it can be assessed as part of this assessment task. Any incomplete or missing information will result in a fail grade.
- Students must complete the ePAD portfolio for all clinical, observational and assisting sessions upto the due date for this submission.The electronic logbook (ePAD) must be completed with regards to patient information (de-identified) and treatment codes/activities twice daily (AM and PM sessions), and must all be signed off by a clinical supervisor. If no feedback (written or verbal) is provided by the supervisor during a session, the student must proactively seek feedback immediately after the session. The student should then record the feedback and obtain the supervisor’s sign-off to confirm the discussion.
- A weekly structured reflection must be written around a specific case undertaken during the week, particularly where the supervisor/s have provided constructive feedback, or a grade of expectations not met was received. This is also submitted via ePad.
- Treatment summary sheets ("tallies") must be submitted for all treatment items at the mid-semester timepoint on ePad.
- These following reports (upto the submission due date) must be signed off as complete by the Principal Dentist for the following. Please attach the ISOH treatment Report and a Missing Treatment Item Report generated (upto due date) for the student to the ePAD submisison:
- Clinical Records
- Missing Treatment Items and
- CCC: Client identified, informed consent, site identified, final team check.
- At least three case learning summaries must be submitted via ePad for this report completed upto the submission due date for this assessment task.
Students are required to take a minimum of 15 OPG for the whole year (DENT4060-DENT4061)ﾠas well as interpretation of these OPGs. Students are encouraged to complete as many of these in Semester 1 and Semester 2 placements as possible. In the instance that a student does not achieve these minimum requirements, the standard of the cases completed by the student will be reviewed by the course coordinator and the minimum requirement may be waived. This will be replaced with an appropriate assessment task for students who do not achieve adequate OPG numbers. This is at the discretion of the Course Coordinator.
