In this Subject, students will make presentations of the clinical cases of the patients visited during the external practices carried out at the University Dental Clinic of Dentistry. Those clinical cases will be explained by the students themselves, including in the presentation the patient history, the results of the intra and extra oral exploration and the complementary explorations carried out. This clinical documentation will be treated according to the protecting data laws of the patient.
Students will take a diagnostic orientation of each clinical case and suggest possible treatment plan. All this, always conducted by the relevant bibliographic reviews related to pathology and / or suggested treatment.
These clinical plans will be developed before the responsible teacher and an audience of professionals from various fields (periodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics ...), and the student must know how to respond to problems and issues that arise in the discussion. Clinical cases will have a problem of advanced and multidisciplinary approach. Also bibliographic reviews on specific scientific topics will be conducted independently to the pathology that patients present, achieving, at the end of the training program of the master, students have achieved theoretical training on pathology related to aesthetic restorative dentistry.
Dental Anatomy. Knowledge of pathophysiology of oral diseases. Surgical technique in relation to dental therapeutic and dental prosthesis. Software knowledge related to text processing, presentations and spreadsheets.
The aim of this course is to ensure that students make presentations of clinical cases of patients visited during the external practices carried out at the University Dental Clinic of Dentistry. Those clinical cases will be explained by the students themselves, including in the presentation the patient history, the results of the intra and extra oral exploration and the complementary explorations carried out. This clinical documentation will be treated according to the protecting data laws of the patient.

This subject is developed during the two courses of the training program of the master.
- The student is able to use the scientific terminology properly related to temporomandibular dysfunction and restorative aesthetics dentistry, making a correct analysis and extra oral diagnosis of the lower third of the face, highlighting the aesthetic and functional aspects of the teeth and soft tissue of the mouth in this analysis. Also knows how to make a correct examination and intra oral diagnosis of the masticatory apparatus of the patients.
- Students are able to identify and reproduce the criteria macro aesthetic and micro aesthetic dental criteria, also in hard and soft tissues of the mouth..
- The student is able to make public presentations on clinical cases, with all diagnostic details and additional examinations required, making suggestions for treatment plans referenced in the scientific literature.
- Students have a clear and advanced knowledge on concepts such as osseo integration, passive adaptation, torque, implant connection, implant surface, type of prosthetic abutment, types of prints to make, transfer of functional and aesthetic occlusal parameters ... Also choose individually for each patient, different implantology attachments and perform several tests and controls of prosthetic components during manufacturing process of the oral prosthesis, managing to control the process all the time so that the stomatological prosthesis finished fulfil the functional and aesthetic objectives sets at the beginning.
- The student has scientific knowledge to choose the type of material that is ready-made the rehabilitation to be installed in the patient.
Students have the means to keep their continuing education updated. They should know how to adapt their clinical practice and technological equipment to the advances and changes that may occur throughout their professional life, which can be autonomous and self-directed.
The content of the course is eminently theoretical and multidisciplinary planning simple cases and gradually begin planning ends up doing high degree of complexity. The student tries cases of patients so multidisicplinar, interacting with professors and students of the Masters of Periodontics, Surgery, Implantology, Orthodontics and others. And sometimes in very complex cases multidisiplinares discussion of cases it is carried out in a joint session of the different areas of the faculty, her students and teachers of different masters involved.
Study of clinical cases
Resolution of clinical cases
Learning focused on pathologies
Guided learning in small groups
The evaluation of this subject will be conducted by different procedures. Continuous assessment will be the basic principle to achieve. For this purpose different qualifications will be obtained over the two academic years, from their training activities.
In the training activity MC (Case method for the analysis and resolution of clinical cases) evaluations will be conducted from direct and personal involvement in the development of this activity (knowledge of the patients schedule, order and proper use of clinical documentation, contributions and support to other colleagues ...). Scientific, technical and clinical knowledge related to the pathology of the patient will be valued (the use of an appropriate scientific terminology, the ability to solve problems in diagnostic or therapeutic stages that may not be fully defined, proper analysis of the data of the clinical history, application and interpretation of complementary explorations...); and the manner in the presentation of MC (communication skills, oral and body language, use of bibliographic databases and computer resources ...). The presentations of clinical cases will be made in computer files (like "Microsoft Office PowerPoint Presentation") and will be part of the clinical documentation of each patient (properly according to laws protecting patient data) it can be consulted at any time by the responsible teacher.
In SEM training activity (seminars) evaluations will be conducted from direct and personal involvement in the development of this activity being assessed their capacity of synthesis and problem resolution in situations that cannot be entirely predictable. The methodology of the scientific paper reviews submitted will also be assessed by the / teacher / s responsible / s of the training activity. These revisions will be made in computer files (type "Microsoft Office PowerPoint Presentation") and teachers will take care of the documentation provided. Written tests (tests) will be performed to evaluate the theoretical knowledge learned in the course of the SEM.
• Direct and personal participation 15%
• Written tests 20%
• Scientific, technical, clinical and pathological knowledge of the patient 25%
• Way of presentation of MC 20%
• Methodology review of the scientific literature 20%
