Id does not exist in shared textODSEM7 - Odontologistudiet, 7. semester.
All obligatory activities in the 8th semester must be completed to have the right to take the exam.
A student who fails an examination normally cannot progress in the programme until the examination has been passed. Students who take a re-sit examination/postponed test, can continue to attend their courses until the examination results are announced, and if applicable until the result of the appeal has been announced. The student must stop attending courses and will be transferred to the following class if he/she does not appeal the examination result, or if the result of the appealed examination grade is that the student fails the examination.
Recommended previous knowledge
Before this semester begins it is expected that the students know how to examine the oral cavity and can recognise diseases in the teeth and their supporting tissues and of the oral mucosa (relative to healthy tissue). It is not expected that diagnoses can be made for all conditions, but it is expected that the students have advanced knowledge of extended prophylaxis, what precautions must be taken to prevent diseases in teeth and supporting tissues and what hygiene measurements must be applied to prevent spread of infections in the clinical environment by means of sterilization autoclaving and hygiene regimes. In addition it is expected that the students know the different treatment modalities and under supervision get training to perform these.
Teaching
In small groups, seminars, courses, lectures, clinical courses and demonstrations, individual work and guidance in patient treatment

Evaluation
Feedback from our students is essential to us in our efforts to ensure and further improve the high quality of our programmes and courses. All courses are subject to continuous evaluation. At regular intervals we also ask students on a particular course to participate in a more comprehensive, periodic evaluation of this course.
