Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the job role. There must be evidence that the candidate has:

• read and correctly interpreted 1 laboratory work order for removable acrylic partial denture

• used standard precautions and safe work practices during the set-up and waxing of partial dentures to produce 1 acrylic partial denture with a combination of bounded and free end saddle areas, suitable for insertion in the mouth

• critically evaluated the 1 acrylic partial denture produced to meet technical laboratory and patient requirements.

The candidate must be able to demonstrate essential knowledge required to effectively complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit, manage tasks and manage contingencies in the context of the work role. This includes knowledge of:

• Australian/New Zealand Standards, workplace health and safety (WHS) policies, Dental Board of Australia guidelines on infection control, Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation and organisation policies relating to dental laboratory work

• advantages and disadvantages of partial dentures

• fundamental oral anatomy, including:

- dentition – arrangement of the teeth, naming and coding of teeth

- structures of the oral cavity – hard and soft palate, lateral and posterior borders of the oral cavity, tongue and floor of the mouth

- teeth form and function

• fundamentals of dental polymers including:

- acrylic and modified acrylic prosthetic teeth

- acrylic plastics as soft liners

- acrylic plastics for denture bases including composition and properties

- acrylic-metal combinations

- acrylics for construction of custom trays

- modified acrylic denture base plastics including manipulation and processing

- the polymerisation process including cross-linked polymers, copolymers, modified polymers and vinyl plastics

• principles of partial denture design

• surveying techniques

• stages in the design of partial dentures:

- classifying, supporting and outlining the saddles

- connecting the various components together

- providing additional components where necessary to resist rotation

- providing reciprocation and bracing

- providing retention

- reviewing the design for hygiene, support and retention.
