Why is this unit important?
This unit aims to enhance your knowledge of interdisciplinary approach when assessing, diagnosing, treatment planning and treating mucogingival conditions.
How does this unit fit into your programme of study?
You will learn how to assess mucogingival conditions from a functional and aesthetic perspective. You will be able to recognise biological and anatomical alterations and be able to communicate effectively with peers and the lay people the technical requirements in relation to resective and augmentation therapy and possible outcomes based on evidence-based information. You will also gain practical skills on relevant techniques for treating mucogingival conditions. You will be able to discuss relevant biomaterials, their properties and indications when treating mucogingival conditions.
An overview of content
This unit will focus on advance techniques to address mucogingival conditions.
How will students, personally, be different as a result of the unit?
As a result of this unit you will be able to assess, diagnose, treatment plan and practice techniques to address mucogingival conditions.
Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:
This unit accounts for 20 credits and there will be a total of 200 learning hours.
The unit will be taught through mix methods including face-to-face contact symposium, asynchronous and synchronous online resources including tutorials, discussions based on key readings and students experiences, evidence base summaries, case study presentation involving evidence based search, analysis, problem-solving and decision-making; peer-to-peer interactions involving group and individual exercises; presentations, discussion, and debate.
The remaining learning hours will be spent in independent study and in the preparation of assessment. The face-to-face symposium will be team-taught by a range of academics in the school and invited external experts. The asynchronous and synchronous teaching will follow an initial timetable with key concepts and building students learning to cover all the unit learning outcomes.

Tasks which count towards your unit mark (summative):
When assessment does not go to plan:
If you do not pass the unit, you will normally be given the opportunity to take a reassessment as per the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes. Decisions on the award of reassessment will normally be taken after all taught units of the year have been completed. Reassessment will normally be in a similar format to the original assessment that has been failed.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. ORDSM0052).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the University Workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The assessment methods listed in this unit specification are designed to enable students to demonstrate the named learning outcomes (LOs). Where a disability prevents a student from undertaking a specific method of assessment, schools will make reasonable adjustments to support a student to demonstrate the LO by an alternative method or with additional resources.
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
