Conditions for acceptance of the semester

Attending the classes, according to the rules of the Code of Studies and Examinations (Max 15% absence is accepted from the lectures and from the practices). 10 minutes late is equal with an absence.

Further requirement to collect minimum 10 scores from the treatments.

From the 10 scores min 8 should be plastic restoration (4) and endodontic treatment (4).

Scores of the treatments:

Esthetic filling: Class I., V.: 0,75

Esthetic filling: Class II., III., IV.: 1,25

Trepanation, enlargement of front teeth: 1,00

Trepanation, enlargement of premolar teeth: 1,25

Trepanation, enlargement of front teeth: 2,00

Root canal filling of front teeth: 0,50

Root canal filling of premolar teeth: 0,75

Root canal filling of molar teeth: 1,00

Inlay/onlay: 3,00

Status: 0,30

Scaling/arch: 0,30

10 minutes late from the practice is considered as an absence.

In case of lack of basic knowledge/preparedness the supervisor can refuse the participation.

Mid-term exams

During the semester 2 tests will be written (accepted result min. 60%). If none of the tests reaches the 60% the semester is not accepted. If one of the tests is less than 61%, there is possibility to improve it during the semester.

All the treatments will be qualified and the result of this qualification will influence the acceptance of the semester. Inadequate preparedness on the practice, improper treatment of the patient may lead to denial of the semester.
