Overview

In the Dental Therapy offered by Teesside University you gain deep theoretical knowledge and combine clinical skills to prepare you for the role of a dental therapist, and the wider multidisciplinary team in the promotion of health and prevention of disease.

On successful completion of the objective structured clinical examination gateway assessments, you will start treating adults, children and adolescents restoratively within your work-based learning placements.

How you'll learn

Lectures and briefings

Lectures are used to impart knowledge to larger groups. These tend to be tutor-led and aim to inform, inspire and engage. But don’t expect just to sit and listen! These types of learning are not passive, they include note-taking, question and answers and/or small group debates and tasks.

Seminars

Seminars enable structured discussion and analysis to take place between groups of students and a tutor. They are interactive and facilitate the free exchange of ideas through which you learn the process of argument and reason. You may be asked to present a short, researched talk on a particular subject or based on a particular clinical experience, after which the group will discuss the matters raised.

Clinical skills sessions

You’ll be introduced to essential clinical skills techniques that include demonstrations using the state-of-the-art AV equipment in the phantom head skills laboratory and the opportunity to practice and progress new skills in the context of patient-based scenarios.

Group and individual tutorials

Group tutorials comprise small groups of students and a tutor discussing your project work or team efforts. These are interactive, and are intended to promote the exchange of ideas, brainstorming, analytical skills and feedback on project work. Group tutorials normally occur in the lead up to the viva voces.

Individual tutorials involved one student discussing their work or their general progress and pastoral situation with one member of staff.
