This session outlines the different perspectives of health that exist and how these have evolved over time. It is important to understand how the patient views their oral health and the role that you might play in maintaining it.

This session explores the role of special tests and baseline records in formulating a treatment plan for a patient. Elements of other sessions (such as dental radiography, occlusion, periodontology and endodontics) are identified.

Dentists should ensure that they achieve accurate and consistent radiological diagnoses. This includes optimising radiograph production, recognising the issues that can hinder successful film interpretation and identifying the more common oral abnormaliti

Effective dental radiography assists the dentist in effective patient case management. The dentist should be aware of the techniques that produce consistently good results and be able to identify when that top standard is not reached.

This session describes the dental assessment and examination of children and adolescents. It will cover all aspects of the assessment process and appropriate age-related behaviour management techniques.

This session continues to look at respiratory mechanics, including lung compliance, the role of surfactant and the factors that determine whether airflow is laminar or turbulent. Respiratory function tests are also explained

This session describes how breathing is controlled. It defines the physiological components involved in regulating breathing, and shows how they combine into an integrated system of control.

This session covers the physiology and causes of the different types of ventilatory/respiratory failure. The effect of ventilatory failure on blood gases, treatment options, oxygen therapy and oxygen toxicity will also be discussed.

This session covers the basic science of those aspects of lung function not relating to gas exchange, focusing on the humidification of inspired gas, protection against inhaled pathogens, and the processing of drugs and hormones by the pulmonary circulati
