Students will be expected to:

• Develop the capacity for self-learning in evolving new instrumental techniques, acquiring new scientific concepts and seeking out new scientific information
• 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.
• Learn the morphology and function of the structures that make up human teeth and different variations and pathologies, both coronal and radicular.
• Recognise the anatomical structures and identify possible morphological and functional alterations through diagnostic tests using the image of the head and neck.
• Acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to perform the opening of an access cavity on each tooth.
• Acquire the ability to identify different variations of the access cavity in complex cases.
• Know how to share information with other healthcare professionals and how to work as part of a team.
• Understand and recognise the structure and normal function of the stomatognathic apparatus, at a molecular, cellular, tissue and organic level, during the various stages of life.
• Know the scientific method and have the critical ability to evaluate established knowledge and new information. They will be able to formulate hypotheses, collect and critically evaluate information in order to resolve problems, in accordance with scientific methods.
• Acquire learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a self-directed and autonomous manner.
• Acquire the skills for applying scientific methods and to apply the knowledge obtained when solving problems within a scientific sphere. They will learn to carry out both in vitro and in vivo research projects in the fields of mechanics, biology and micro-biology as they apply to endodontics.
