Introduction

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that studies the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions that affect the dental organ supporting tissues (gums, periodontal ligaments, root cement and alveolar bone) and the replacement implants, in order to maintain the health, function and aesthetics of the teeth and their adjacent tissues.

Periodontics is an area of dentistry that supports the study of scientific evidence about the condition of the healthy and unhealthy periodontium.

The main periodontal diseases that affect dentition are periodontitis and gingivitis.

Currently, with the advent of implantology, periodontics is also responsible for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases such as peri-implantitis.

Periodontal disease manifests itself as a gingivitis (inflammation and bleeding of the gum without affecting the bone) or periodontitis, whereby the destruction of the bone supporting the tooth takes place. If this is not treated in time, it may lead to the loss of the teeth.

Periodontal treatment ranges from correcting the hygiene techniques for controlling plaque bacteria to the elimination of the triggers of this (dental calculus or tartar and periodontal pockets).

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



EVALUATIONSYSTEMS:

 

THEORY:

The theoretical part represents 70% of the final grade and the practical part represents 30% of the finalgrade. The theoretical exam consists of 50 multiple choice questions, with only one valid answer. Eachquestion will have 5possible answers. Each incorrect answer will subtract 0.20 points. The theoreticalpartispassedwitha5.

 

It is mandatory to pass the theoretical part with a 5 to be able to pass the subject and achieve anaverageof70%withthepracticalpart.

 

PRACTICE:

Attendance at practices is mandatory.Two absences imply failure of the subject.

 

Only ONE excused absence will be accepted for the following reasons: illness, flight cancellation anddeathofanimmediatefamilymember. STUDENTS MUST SHOW AN OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE TO JUSTIFY.

 

There will be two practice groups, M1 and M2 and the practices will be done in the L3 laboratory. Students cannot change practice groups.

Student MUST bring a clean and ironed robe and a computer to carry out the practice. The student who does not comply will not be able to do the practice (no exceptions) and will count as an unexcused absence.

The practical part is combined with the theoretical part, as long as both exams are passed.

 

The theoretical part is equivalent to 70% of the grade and the practical part to 30%. The passing grade for the subject is a5.

 

The practice exam will consist of 5 oral questions and is passed if at least 3 questions are answered correctly.

The practical grade counts for 30% of the total of the subject and is obtained through the above mentioned oral practical exam

Punctuality, participation and attitude are valued during practical sessions.

 

The use of mobile phones is completely prohibited during theoretical classes,practices and exams.

NOTE:

It is mandatory to pass the practical part to pass the subject. You can only miss a practical class and always with justification (OFFICIAL medical report, flight cancellation or death). Family trips are not accepted as justification. Failure in two practices represents the FAIL of the subject.

 

Honors registrations will be valued from 9 according to the criteria of the teaching staff, not necessarily the best theoretical grade.

NORMATIVE:

The teaching staff is not obliged to deliver the computer presentation of the class. The teacher's criteria    will be followed. It is NOT allowed to record classes with any recording method.

 

Attendance at theoretical classes is recommended (except repeaters and special cases reported). Lack of attendance does not represent failure in the subject but will be taken into account when determining the final grade.
