Introduction

Advances in the field of dentistry have encouraged the development of different areas of expertise. Disciplines such as Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Endodontics have allowed the achievement of therapeutic results unthinkable in the past. In the field of Oral Surgery and Implantology, purely functional rehabilitation has given way to a full biological, functional and esthetic rehabilitation of patients. New materials, tools and techniques available today make dentistry a tremendously interesting discipline.

However, the wide extent of this science makes dentists need a clear concept of treatment to deal with complex surgical cases. This will avoid losing the global case perspective and repeatedly encountering undesirable surprises during treatment.

After a thorough diagnosis a treatment goal should be defined which will be pursued through a clear therapeutic concept. However, the therapeutic goal cannot be immovably established at the beginning because teeth prognosis varies during treatment. The key to solve the equation’s dynamism lies in the concept of reassessment during the different treatment phases.

The course aims to integrate the knowledge acquired by the students during 3rd, 4th and 5th year studies in order to be able to execute surgical complex case treatments in a systematic and predictable way. Once students have familiarized with the treatment concept explained during the first master classes, active student participation will be encouraged by means of clinical case discussions that will exemplify the working model.

Pre-course requirements

There are no prerequisites.

Objectives

To share with the future dentists a treatment concept that will allow them to sort the various treatment phases and to simplify and solve complex surgical cases in a predictable manner.

Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme

  • 03 - Knowing how to identify the concerns and expectations of patients, as well as how to communicate effectively and clearly, both orally and in writing, with patients, family members, the media and other professionals.
  • 07 - Promoting new knowledge and techniques being acquired through autonomous learning, as well as the motivation to achieve quality.
  • 08 - Knowing how to share information with other healthcare professionals and how to work as part of a team.
  • 18 - Being aware of, critically evaluating and knowing how to use sources of clinical and biomedical infomation in order to obtain, organise, interpret and communicate scientific and healthcare-related information.
  • 20 - Obtaining and creating a medical record containing all the relevant information.
  • 22 - Having the ability to make an initial diagnostic judgement and establish a reasonable diagnostic strategy, as well as being competent in recognising situations that require urgent dental treatment.
  • 23 - Establishing a diagnosis, prognosis and suitable treatment planning for all the different clinical areas of Dentistry, being competent in terms of the diagnosis, prognosis and writing up the dental care plan for patients who require special care, including medically compromised patients (such as diabetics, those with hypertension, a depressed immune system or are anticoagulated, etc) and patients with disabilities.
  • 26 - Knowing how to plan and undertake multidisciplinary, sequential and comprehensive dental treatment of limited complexity for patients of all ages and conditions and for patients who require special care.

Know the therapeutic possibilities that different disciplines in dentistry (orthodontics, oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, endodontics) offer to optimize the final therapeutic outcome.

Learn how to sequentially order the different therapeutic steps to solve a complex surgical case.

Protocolize augmentation techniques, soft tissue management, implantation time points and prosthetic loading.

Understand the importance of the maintenance phase in the long-term treatment success.

Teaching and learning activities

In person



Totally face-to-face modality in the classroom CM: The master class is the scenario in which a teacher transmits the knowledge in a classroom to the entire group of students. The format, however, allows the introduction of activities in small groups in the classroom and the deployment of strategies that encourage the active participation of students. MC: The case method consists of the process of solving clinical cases. They are group activities that are resolved with the active participation of the teacher after the deliberation of the students. THEORETICAL CLASSES/PRESENTIAL SEMINARS : Tuesdays from 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. All the students will attend the theory classes in person at the UIC The seminars will not be recorded as it is a record of clinical cases with photographs of patients. Attendance is mandatory in person with a minimum of 80% to be able to sit the exam
