  4. Reasons for a portfolio: • to develop student skills, • creativity, research, • critical thinking, reflection

  5. “the ePortfolio has allowed me to see where my mistakes were and to think of ways to overcome obstacles” -reflection, critical thinking, creativity

  6. Reasons for a Portfolio: • more knowledgeable about one’s • profession • increases understanding of different • perspectives • stimulating and empowering

  7. “this allows me to have a profound understanding behind restorative dentistry” -more knowledgeable about one’s profession

  8. “definitely allowed me to operate on my patients with more confidence and a better understanding” -stimulating and empowering

  9. Reasons for a portfolio: • compilers become more • knowledgeable about • their profession

  10. “the levels of detail explored during the research enabled me to actually learn the material rather than memorize”

  11. Project a learning exchange between dental students Developed a web-platform www.diastemas.net Funded by U21 dental

  12. AnInternational Digital Learning Community covering 4 continents

  13. 6 Faculties of Dentistry Melbourne Hong Kong San Francisco Saskatoon Vancouver Birmingham

  14. Purpose of the IPR • Higher Education • globally shared university • learning outcomes • communication skills • global citizenship • intercultural communication

  15. Purpose of the IPR • Initiatives by ADEE and ADEA • standardize dental education • through commonly agreed • upon graduate outcomes and • competencies • Cowpeet al 2008 • Walmsley

  16. University of Melbourne IPR Ryan, Michelle, Mike W and Jordan G

  17. Similarities • Take radiographs first • Check occlusion • Slot is <1/3 BL width • Amalgam requires bulk • Students at U of Mel are very concerned about iatrogenic damage and make these mistakes easily just like us!

  18. Differences • The weather…hahahaha • No GV Black Classification system – ‘new classification system’ • Big emphasis at looking at dimensions of contacts before prep • Proximal = Approximal • Dentin = Dentine • Bur numbers

  19. Fun Facts • CPP-ACP = Recaldent • Invented by Prof Eric Reynolds who is the Dean of U of Melbourne • Unique natural Ca and P stabilizing peptide derived from casein • Improves efficacy and speed of F uptake • Now found in Trident Gum • Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBtoj33Rx-0

  20. Reflections: “it didn’t require so much work that I was really stressed out ….. But I think I learned a lot”

  21. Reflections: “It made me feel more connected to my peers around the world”

  22. Reflections: “Before this project I would have said something was done poorly now I would say it was done differently”

  23. Intro • School Intro • Prep • Resto • Conclusion VS.

  24. Class II Composite Preparation • Outline form determined by caries • Make restoration/preparation as small as possible • No undermined enamel • Sharp cavosurface edge/margin • UCSF - Straight facial and lingual walls – exposes enamel rods and functions as a bevel • UBC – Divergent walls - exposes enamel rods, allows restoration to fall out should bonding fail • Proximal box – extends proximally at 90° angle to edge of tooth • UCSF – lingual extension normally larger for finishing purposes – due to limited visibility of lingual area

  25. Inverted cone Round end taper fissure Straight fissure Pear

  26. Thanks!!

  27. Reflections: “To be able to interact with someone on a professional level in other parts of the world was a greatexperience”

  28. Reflections: “They are just like me learning the same stuff”

  29. Reflections: “For 3 years we have been hearing evidence based this and that but now I see why it is important”
