This course applies a holistic approach to client treatment. The focus is on cases completed in the DEND 2104 Clinical Prosthetics 2 course. Students integrate and reflect on previously learned theoretical knowledge and practical skills from removable partial denture courses and present to their peers the rationale and methodology for choosing the content of their client treatment plan. Students reflect on the difficulties and successes they encountered throughout the entire client treatment process and identify ways to improve their practice. In addition students are required to demonstrate patient record management and confidentiality. Opportunities to role play difficult case scenarios are provided.
