Requirements to the exam
Credit
Attendance 100 % in practical classes. Student has to complete a relevant chapter from e-learning course in Moodle prior the practical classes. E-learning course consists of theoretical informations and instructions for practical classes. Test at the end of each chapter needs to be completed prior clinical classes as well.
Achieve at least 80 % from all practical works evaluated.
Achieve at least 80 % of all minor tests. When at least 90 % achieved, student don´t have to take the credit test. When less than 80 % achieved, oral examination will be used to test the level of student´s knowledges (2nd and 3rd attempt). Absence during minor tests is evaluated as 0 points.
Achieve at least 80 % of credit test. One re-take test with threshold 80% (2nd attempt), oral examination (3rd attempt).
Note: In order to fulfill the content of the practical classes, Frasaco teeth with preparations (26 – cast crown, 24 – composite onlay, 21 – long wrap veneer, 11 – provisional crown, 13 – PFM crown, 34 resin crown) are required within the subject of Preclinical Dentistry. Entry to the phantom laboratory is possible in white work clothes / coat and slippers. The student is obliged to follow the safety instructions, to use protective glasses when working with the micromotor. Eating and drinking are prohibited in the phantom laboratory.
Students are loaned a set modeling tools and artificial Frasaco jaws for practical classes. The student will receive the credit after returning the set of borrowed modeling tools and Frasako jaws.
Examination
Student is allowed to apply for the final exam when all conditions of credit are completed.
In the case of repeating a study obligation, the student is required to complete the study obligation in its entirety.
