Introduction to current regulations regarding healthservice and working enviroment. Regulations regarding dental technicians, ethical code of conduct and working permit from Directorate of Health. Introduction to quality control, registration of medical devices and place of origin. During the course the students will learn about protocol regarding disinfections in the dental laboratory, affects of disinfectants on impression materials and quality control regarding delivery of medical devices.

Courses based on practical work at the University Dental Laboratory, students works with the dental team and train their practical skills to solve real projects in dental technology. They practice CAD design for fixed partial dentures, involing more complex cases such as multiple crowns, bridges and implants.

Students work on chosen projects in dental technology by using problem-based learning methods.

Self-administration:

• Students will train their ability to perform independent work procedure.
• Students will train their time management skills.
• Students will train their communication skills within the dental team.

Practical work:

• The practical work is performed within the dental laboratory in the faculty.
• Students administrates their working hours but must complete all assignments on right time.

Students will introduce their own project and get an opportunity to get acquainted with other students projects. Introduction to pre-chosen project related to dental technolgoy.  Use of theoretical concepts in relation to the practical work in dental technolgy. Opportunity to share views on theoretical matter of opinion and constructive critisism on the project. The students will learn to give each other support and supervision.

Workshop during first week of semester to support students in their BS project, groupwork and worksessions are organised according to students need for support. The student(s) presents their researh finding for teachers, supervisors and peers during the examination period.

The object of this course is that students write a final essay or thesis that shows the depth and efficiency of their studies for the last 3 years. The object is to show that they have learned how to make their own realistic aims for such work, which methods are to be used and how it is to be put in theoretical context. The students will get a thorough revewing on methods, working rules and theories before they begin working on the thesis. After that they work independently or as pair on their study in cooperation with their guiding tutors.
