Students will be expected to:

• Identify the main reason for the consultation and the history of the current disease and create a general medical record and a clinical record which accurately reflect the patient's notes.
• Become familiar with the general pathological characteristics of the illnesses and disorders that affect organic systems, specifically those which have dental repercussions.
• Become aware of clinical and laboratory-based procedures and diagnostic tests, knowing their reliability and diagnostic viability and being competent in interpreting the results.
• Perform and interpret radiographs and other image-based procedures relevant to dental practice.
• Recognise oral normality and pathology, as well as to assess semiological data.
• Diagnose, plan and undertake, at a general level, multidisciplinary, sequential and integrated treatment of limited complexity for patients of all ages and conditions and patients with special needs (diabetes, hypertension, oncological diseases, transplants, immune-depression, anti-clotting, etc.) or disabilities.
• Know about dental biomaterial: in terms of handling, properties, indications, allergies, biocompatibility, toxicity and eliminating residues as well as their environmental impact.
• Know about and be able to use the basic tools and equipment for dental practice.
• Handle, distinguish between and select the tools and materials suitable for dentistry.
• Understand and recognise the principles of ergonomics and safety at work (including the control of cross infection, radiation protection and occupational and biological diseases).
• Undertake basic oral and dental pathology treatments for patients of all ages. The treatment procedures should be minimally invasive and based on a comprehensive and integrated approach to oral and dental treatment.
• Issue appropriate medical prescriptions, while being aware of their indications and contraindications, systemic effects and repercussions on other organs.
• Apply loco-regional anaesthetic techniques.
• Prepare and isolate the operatory field.
• Identify and deal with any dental emergencies.
• Undertake endodontic treatment and apply procedures to preserve pulp vitality.
• Acquire clinical experience under suitable supervision.
• Acquire the ability to argue and defend their own scientific ideas as well as to listen, analyse, evaluate and respond to the ideas of others.
• Acquire learning skills that facilitate continued studies in a self-directed and autonomous manner.
• Understand how to provide a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas in a research context.
• Apply the knowledge acquired and develop an ability to solve problems in new environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to the field of study in question.
• Know how to communicate their conclusions and final justifications that support these to specialised and non-specialised audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
• Be able to integrate new knowledge acquired through research and study, and deal with complexity.
• Possess and understand knowledge that provides the basis or opportunity for developing and/or applying ideas, often in the field of research.
• Perform the correct analysis and diagnosis taking into account the multidisciplinary factors of the masticatory apparatus.
• Develop the ability to apply scientific method and use the knowledge acquired to solve problems in the field of science. Learn to undertake both in vitro and in vivo research projects in the fields of mechanics, biology and microbiology applied to endodontics.
• Be autonomous in the development and application of new endodontic technologies and acquire the ability to assess and undertake research projects
