Taught Courses

 

 This preclinical course aims at introducing third year dental students to the dental clinical environment.
 It demonstrates dental clinics with special emphasis on cross-infection control.
 Students are expected to learn ways of collecting diagnostic information. This starts with taking the clinical history after learning the skills of communication with patients in a clinical confidential way.
 Methods of clinical examination are also explained to students so that all students would be able to identify the main steps in extra-oral and intraoral examination.
 Students should differentiate between normal and abnormal structures of the oral cavity.
 Students should also learn the most frequently needed investigations by dental practitioners with emphasis on intraoral plain radiography.
 Students will start learning clinical history taking and clinical examination by doing so on their colleagues, and later on in the course on patients attending dental clinics in the Jordan University Hospital.
