The aim of the course is to expand current knowledge about periodontics and implants, meet new surgical techniques and gain criterion for the critical analysis of recently published articles.
Pre-course requirements
Residents are asked to have an extensive knowledge through literature research of the surgical techniques of the periodontics and dental implantology.

Teaching and learning activities
In person
The thematic content of the course has been divided into seven blocks for which approximately fourteen articles have been selected. Each student must submit an article with graphic support PowerPoint or Keynote format for 10-15 minutes. Then the rest of the students and professors can make questions for 5 minutes. Items will be distributed among the students in alphabetical order and the presentations and subsequent discussion should be in English.
At the end of each topic, there will be a clinic session during which the students will present clinical cases related to the subject. The last 30 minutes of this session will be devoted to the evaluation of the knowledge acquired.
All students must read and internalize all items to be discussed during the sessions.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
Evaluation:
The evaluation of the course will be held at the end of each topic with a short question test . It must pass the course with a minimum of 70 % of questions answered correctly . The student that does not pass the exam at the first call, has a second evaluation. If that assessment is not passed , the student will be suspended from clinical activities for a week.
Assessments during the academic year constitute 70% of the final grade of the student. The remaining 30 % will be assessed taking into account the quality of the presentation and defense of the section, attendance and active student participation during the sessions.
Attendance:
Attendance at the sessions is mandatory, only excused absences will be accepted .
The lack of more than 25 % of the sessions , leading to direct suspension of the quarter and two weeks of clinical activity .
Repeated tardiness will be sanctioned with review of the literature to present at the next session.
