Training activity: 3

Details

Review the materials used in the treatment of dental alveolar trauma in primary and secondary settings and reflect on the impact this has on practice

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Reflect on the impact this has on practice, considering:
  • Assessment of imaging
  • The primary application in the clinic of rigid fixation and secondary laboratory rigid and flexible custom devices
  • Materials selection, including rigid/flexible
  • Principles of fixation and reduction
  • National guidance
  • Clinical reduction in the outpatient setting and immediate fixation
  • Model analogues for device manufacture
  • Infection control
  • Medical device management
  • Aftercare and the impact of the treatment and quality of life
