Introduction

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.

Pre-course requirements

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.

Objectives

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.

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.

 

This subject is developed during the two courses of the training program of the master.

Competences / Learning outcomes of the degree programme

  • CB6 - Students should have and understand knowledge that provides the basis for or opportunity to be original in terms of the development and application of ideas, often within a research context.
  • CB7 - Students should know how to apply the knowledge they have acquired and be able to resolve problems in new or little known environments within a broader (or multidiciplinary) context, related to their area of study.
  • CB8 - Students should be able to incorporate knowledge and tackle the complexity of making judgements based on information which, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on the social and ethical responsibility linked to the application of their knowledge and judgement
  • CE1 - Students should be able to undertake a proper analysis and an extraoral diagnosis, and underline the aesthetic and functional aspects of the teeth and the soft areas of the lower part of the face as well as a analysis and clinical and lab-based diagnosis, using diagnostic and therapeutic wax models, in order to rehabilitate dental occlusion with good functional and aesthetic balance, while taking into account multidisciplinary factors related to the masticating apparatus.
  • CE2 - Students should be able to work as a clinical professional and/or researcher in the field of aesthetic restorative dentistry, and act as a real specialist or expert in the material; as well as know how to diagnose, treat, prevent and research oral disorders and have updated knowledge of the diagnostic and treatment-related advances which continue to arise throughout their professional life.
  • CE3 - To undertake the selective drilling of teeth to balance the jaw and dental occlusion, as well as make splints for articular and occlusal protection in cases where there is a pathology that requires this.
  • CE5 - To be able to give public presentations on your own clinical cases based on the scientific literature, and correctly use the scientific terminology related to temporomandibular dysfunction and aesthetic restorative dentistry.
  • CE9 - To recognise and interpret images and specialised diagnostic techniques that are significant in research, as well as know how to apply bioinformatic tools and new technologies to the fields of prosthetic and restorative dentistry and dental implants.
  • CG1 - To have the ability to communicate with patients with the aim of explaining, based on scientific criteria but in accessible language, their diagnosis, treatment plan and prognosis, in the case of pathologies that tend to be either advanced or multidisciplinary in nature.
  • CG2 - To be autonomous in terms of obtaining a patient's anamnesis and oral explorations in patients with pathologies that might be either advanced or multidisciplinary in nature; and fill in their medical record and other clinical paperwork using scientific language and terminology that is suited to an aesthetic restorative dentistry professional.
  • CG3 - To know how to apply the protocols established in the University Dental Clinic in relation to diagnosis, complementary explorations and treatment for patients, as well as treatment plans, taking into account the fact that the patients being addressed have pathologies that are either advanced or multidisciplinary in nature.

Learning outcomes of the subject

-      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.

Syllabus

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.

Teaching and learning activities

In person

Study of clinical cases

Resolution of clinical cases

Learning focused on pathologies

Guided learning in small groups

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person

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%
