Introduction
Oral Medical-Surgical Pathology 2 (PMQ2) introduces maxillofacial traumatology, salivary gland pathology and congenital maxillofacial deformities, and expands on surgical oral pathology and dental implantology as well as basic and advanced knowledge on bone biology.
Pre-course requirements
Successful completion of the subjects: "Oral Medical-Surgical Pathology 1" and "Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine".
Objectives
-To obtain basic and advanced knowledge on bone biology.
- To study maxillofacial traumatology, focusing on an early diagnosis, immediate and delayed treatment by the dental specialist, and detection and management of potential complications.
- To expand on the study of oral pathology and provide the student with the necessary theoretical and practical tools to be able to perform an adequate differential diagnosis and multidisciplinary orientation of the case.
- To study inflammatory and tumoral pathology of the salivary glands.
- To study the spectrum of congenital maxillofacial deformity, focusing on the dentist's role in the coordination of multidisciplinary treatments and prevention of maxillofacial complications.
- To expand on the study of dental implantology as initiated in the subject of PMQ1, from an innovative theoretical-practical point of view.
- To introduce modern concepts of tissue engineering applicable to the field of dental implantology, and to elaborate on future perspectives of development.

- 38 - Being aware of clinical and laboratory-based procedures and diagnostic tests, knowing their reliability and diagnostic viability and being competent in interpreting the results
- 39 - Recognising oral normality and pathology, as well as the evaluation of semiological data
- 40 - Identifying the main reason for the consultation and the history of the current disease. Creating a general medical record and a clinical record which accurately reflect the patient's notes
- 42 - Handling, distinguishing and selecting the tools and materials that are suitable for dentistry
- 43 - Having knowledge of dental biomaterial: in terms of handling, properties, instructions, allergies, biocompatibility, toxicity and eliminating residues as well as their environmental impact
- 44 - Knowing about and being able to use the basic tools and equipment for dental practice
- 48 - Being aware of the effects of tobacco on oral health and participating in measures which help patients who want to give up their smoking habit. Also, knowing about the complex interaction between the environmental, social and behavioural factors related to oral and general health
- 57 - Knowing the general processes of illness, curing and reparing, including infection, inflammation, haemorrhage and clotting, scarring, trauma and alterations in the immune system, degeneration, neoplasia, metabolic alterations and genetic disorders
- 60 - Knowing about general and clinical pharmacology for dental practice
- 61 - Knowing the pharmacological grounding for the various anaesthetic techniques, both local and general, as well as the role of sedation and general anaesthesia in terms of managing dental patients
- 66 - Taking and interpreting x-rays and other image-based procedures that are important in dental practice
- 70 - Evaluating motor and sensory oral, mandibular and annex function
- 71 - Undertaking limited procedures for invasive diagnostic techniques using soft tissue (biopsies)
- 74 - Preparing and isolating the operatory field
- 77 - Undertaking medical and surgical treatment for common diseases in soft oral tissue

Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
EVALUATION
The evaluation will be continued as follows:
Quiz: after some classes and seminars students will take a quiz through Moodle that will count for 10% of the final mark. The Quiz will have 10 questions. Questions will be multiple choice, with 4 possible answers. Every correct answer will add 1 point, every wrong answer will subtract 0,33 points, non-answered questions will not be punished. As a result, you can get up to 1 point of the final mark. The Quiz will be on-site (in class) and a Tablet or Laptop will be necessary to perform it. You will have 10 minutes to complete the test. You will not have the opportunity to retake the exam.
Final Test: The final exam will account for the 90% of the final mark. Will have 40 questions multiple choice, 4 possible answers. Every correct answer will add 1 point, every wrong answer will subtract -0,33, non-answered questions will not be punished. To pass the exam is necessary to have 20 points (50% of possible points). In the event that a question is canceled, the pass would still be 50% of the possible points. It is necessary to pass the final theoretical exam to pass the subject. Students will have 50 minutes to perform the test.
Oral Exam * (* in case student does not attend the ordinary call with a justified reason and with presented and approved instance): The final exam will account for the 90% of the final mark. From all the theory and seminars, the teaching staff will choose 10 topics to develop. Of these 10 topics, the student will randomly choose 5 topics and must develop them and answer the specific questions made by the faculty. Each topic will score 20 points, in total 100 points. The total time of the exam will be 30 minutes.
