Detailed information

Module objectives	To prepare the student to work with patients in the field of periodontal disease prevention. Detailed learning objectives of the course are to get student familiar with: with dental deposits the principles of professional and home plaque control the instrumentation for professional supragingival cleaning. In addition, the goal of the course is for the student to acquire practical skills: evaluation of oral hygiene and assessment of the status of the gingiva carrying out prophylactic measures
Prerequisite /essential requirements	Knowledge	knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the oral cavity with particular emphasis on the anatomy and function of the periodontium principles of aseptics and antiseptics
Skills	ability to work in accordance with ergonomic principles, ability to assist
Competences	ability to work in a team, the need for self-education, the use of various sources of knowledge and their critical evaluation
