Conservative dentistry aims to teach basic current concepts in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of dental tissues and of diseases of the periradicular tissues. In this subject, we provide a synthesis of the objectives of the subjects Dental Pathology, Operative Dentistry and Endodontics, as well as Introduction to Restorative Clinical Dentistry, through the discussion of selected papers and which are taught through clinical practice with patients
Achievement of learning objectives of the subjects of Dental Pathology, Operative Dentistry, Endodontics and Introduction to Restorative Clinical Dentistry
A. GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
1. To determine the causes of the loss of dental health.
2. To implement the techniques that allow the recovery of dental health.
B. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
These objectives may be classified into three large groups:
a. Knowledge-related:
1. To learn the different steps of the treatment of root canals
2. To determine the need for carrying out a treatment of canals based on an accurate pulpoperiapical diagnosis
3. To learn the different types of accidents that may occur during the treatment of canals
3. To understand the incidence and causes of endodontic failures
4. To learn the indications and clinical techniques of endodontic surgery
5. To learn the indication and clinical technique of intentional reimplantation
6. To establish the therapeutic approach to teeth with unformed apices
7. To understand the different situations leading to emergencies in the field of endodontics and the approach to be taken
8. To describe the features of extensive direct crown reconstructions
9. To describe the features of intraradicular retention elements
10. To describe the principles and clinical technique of indirect aesthetic reconstructions
11. To describe the clinical techniques for reconstruction of endodontically-treated teeth
b. Sensory and motor:
1. To reach a certain diagnosis with a patient having a dental disease
2. To establish a treatment plan for a patient with a dental disease
3. To complete on patients dental surgery and endodontic treatments of moderate complexity
c. Transferable:
1. To develop the ability to deliver a public presentation
2. To develop the ability to write up scientific work in the field of restorative dentistry
3. To develop an interest in research and in deepening knowledge
In this subject, the students perform clinical practices that cover all the contents of Dental Pathology, Dental Surgery, Endodontic treatment and the introduction to clinical practice subjects, supplemented by seminars about specific areas of all these contents, with the aim of encouraging debate about decision-making based on scientific evidence.
Students are provided with a set of learning objectives and a limited reading list for each seminar. For some seminars, students individually should submit a summary or Power Point/Keynote through Moodle. The learning o0bjectives for each seminar shall be debated in the general seminar.
The final mark will be determined by the CUO clinical mark(30%), ATTENDANCE, WORK AND PARTICIPATION in the seminars. (10%) and the note of the theoretical exam (60%). The theoretical exam will consist of 40-50 multiple choice questions. Correct questions will add 1 point. Questions answered incorrectly will subtract 0.33 points. To pass this subject, it is an essential condition to pass the clinic and the theoretical exam separately. Failing one of these parts prevents the signature from being passed.
Work after the deadline will not be accepted.
The absence in 3 seminars, or the non-presentation of works in Moddle will not allow the grade of the subject. Once the teacher has started classes, entry into class will not be allowed.
Students with a particular problem may request an oral exam that will be carried out by a panel of three professors from the Dental Restorative Area.
The essential bibliography shall be provided through Moodle.
