Recommended prior 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

Teaching takes place throughout the semester.

Possibility of make-up exams and re-takes

Students who due to illness or other valid reason of absence were unable to sit for their final exams and students who have failed the final exam may apply for participation in make-up exams. Make-up exams are arranged either later in the same semester or early in the semester following the exam in question. Documentation of valid reasons for absence from the regular exam must be submitted upon application to participate in make-up exams.

Withdrawing from exams and limits on re-takes

A student can sit for this exam up to 3 times. If a student wishes to withdraw from the exam, s/he must do this in StudentWeb at least two weeks prior to the first day of the exam. Failure to do so will be counted as one of the three opportunities to sit for the exam.

Exam options for students with special needs

Students may apply for access to alternative exam resources or exam forms on the basis of chronic illness and/or special needs that create a marked disadvantage to other students in the exam situation. Mothers who are breastfeeding may apply for extra time to complete the exam.

Evaluation of this course

Feedback from our students is essential to us in our efforts to ensure and further improve the high quality of our programmes and courses. As a student at the University of Oslo you will therefore be asked to participate in various types of evaluation of our courses, facilities and services. All courses are subject to continuous evaluation. At regular intervals we also ask students on a particular course to participate in a more comprehensive, in-depth evaluation of this course, a so called "periodic evaluation".
