Introduction

The majority of the population presents some type of periodontal pathology. It is the most common cause of lost of teeth among patients over 35.

The knolewdge of periodontal pathology, its prevention ad treatment non surgical and surgical is important in order to maintain health, function, comfort and esthetics.

Seminarios de Periodoncia I, will allow to integrate this therapy as a part of the interdisciplinary treatment. Topics such as periodontal resective surgery, regenerative, mucogingival, socket preservation, ridge augmentation, regenerative materials, and some other topics will be deeply studied.

The Chairman of the Perio Department is Dr. José Nart and the Professor responsable of this area is Dr. Blanca Paniagua.

Pre-course requirements

To pass Periodontics of 2 (Basics in Periodontics) and 3 year (Advanced Periodontology).

Objectives

- Review the kwonledge from third year course about diagnosis and identification of different types of periodontal diseases.

- New techniques in periodontal diagnosis.

- Basic principles and basic concepts of periodontal surgery. Different surgical periodontal techniques.

- Periodontal Maintenance programs. Recognition of positive results and failures.

- Importance of maintenance in implant treatment.

- Differences between dental and periimplant tissues.

- Periodontal view of implant therapy.

- Connection of periodontology and the rest of dental specialties.

- Periodontal treatment in the dental general practice.

- Organization of a dental office and a good periodontal therapy. 

 

Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme

  • 64 - Undertaking basic oral and dental pathology treatments for patients of all ages. The treatment procedures should be minimally invasive and based on a comprehensive and integrated approach to oral and dental treatment
  • 65 - Diagnosing, planning and undertaking, at a general level, multidisciplinary, sequential and integrated treatment of limited complexity for patients of all ages and conditions and patients with special needs (diabetes, hypertension, oncological diseases, transplants, immune-depression, anti-clotting, etc.) or disabilities. Specifically the dentist should be competent in establishing a diagnosis, a prognosis and developing a suitable treatment plan, particularly in terms of orofacial pain, temporo-mandibular disorders, bruxism and other parafunctions; dental and periapical pathology; oral and dental trauma; periodontal and peri-implanted tissue pathologies; pathology of the mandibular bone, of soft oral tissue and annex glands; states of partial or total edentation and planning rehabilitation treatment via dento-muco supported prostheses, or dental impants, dental malpositions or malocculusions and other anatomical or functional alterations of the face or the stomatognathic system and their potential orthodontic, orthopaedic or surgical corrections
  • 66 - Taking and interpreting x-rays and other image-based procedures that are important in dental practice
  • 68 - Determining and identifying the aesthetic requirements of patients and the possibility of resolving their concerns
  • 69 - Identifying patients who require special care, recognising the characteristics and peculiarities of such cases
  • 70 - Evaluating motor and sensory oral, mandibular and annex function
  • 71 - Undertaking limited procedures for invasive diagnostic techniques using soft tissue (biopsies)
  • 72 - Appropriate medical prescriptions, while being aware of their guidelines and warnings, systemic effects and repercussions on other organs
  • 73 - Applying loco-regional anaesthetic techniques
  • 74 - Preparing and isolating the operatory field
  • 75 - Identifying, evaluating and attending to medical emergencies which may arise during clinical practice and apply cardiopulmonary recuscitation techniques; manage severe infections, including pharmaceutical prescriptions and simple surgical aspects
  • 76 - Identifying and dealing with any dental emergencies
  • 77 - Undertaking medical and surgical treatment for common diseases in soft oral tissue
  • 80 - Treating the inflammatory processes of periodontal tissue both pharmacologically and surgically, including supra and subgingival techniques for periodontal instrumentation

Learning outcomes of the subject

  • 4.001 - Know the anatomy and histology of the periodontal tissues in health and disease
  • 4.002 - Understand the mechanisms of bacterial colonization in the oral cavity and identify their implications for health and periodontal diseases
  • 4.003 - - Know the mechanisms of inflammatory and immune response of periodontal tissues against bacteria of dental biofilm
  • 4.004 - Understand the main factors associated with periodontal disease, identifying their causes, pathogenesis and risk factors
  • 4.005 - Apply diagnostic means and methods available for assessing all patients with periodontal disease

EXAM (First Sitting)

 

 

Teaching and learning activities

In person



Master Class.

Imparted by faculty members of Perio Department.

30 hours per student.

 

Evaluation systems and criteria

In person



The theoretical exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, with a single valid answer. Each question will have 5 possible answers and each incorrect answer will subtract 0.20 points. The theoretical part is passed with a 5.

The theoretical evaluation represents 70% of the final grade that will be averaged with the score obtained in the clinical practices (CUO), that represents the remaining 30%.

The theoretical part and the practical part must be approved individually. Otherwise, the notes will not be averaged.
