Introduction

Biomedical Sciences

The subject of Biomedical Sciences is structured into five sub-disciplines:

  1. Anatomy of the Head and Neck

  2. Oral Medicine and Pathology

  3. Pharmacology

  4. Microbiology

  5. Basic Molecular Biology

General Overview

A fundamental competence of the specialist dentist is the ability to understand all processes that occur within the oral cavity and their potential impact on adjacent structures. Furthermore, the specialist dentist must be capable of addressing these processes in order to restore natural balance.

This course integrates concepts of head and neck anatomy with molecular and cellular approaches to better understand the origins of pathology. Through laboratory-based training, students will acquire the capacity to perform diagnostic procedures, interpret findings from other specialities, and propose evidence-based solutions.

Additionally, students will develop skills in consulting bibliographic sources, critically reviewing scientific articles, and engaging with the latest advances in biomedical research.

Intended Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • Identify and describe the principal anatomical structures of the head and neck.

  • Recognize macroscopic and microscopic abnormalities associated with disease.

  • Apply appropriate laboratory techniques to identify pathogenic microorganisms.

  • Interpret and discuss experimental results in order to establish a diagnosis.

  • Analyze and evaluate findings to determine the involvement of other complex systems.

  • Assess and discuss the most appropriate therapeutic strategies, including pharmacological approaches, for the treatment of diagnosed conditions.

Module 1: Anatomy of the Head and Neck

Overview

A detailed knowledge of head and neck anatomy, along with the associated functional systems, is indispensable for the practice of dentistry, particularly in specialized areas such as implantology and periodontology.

The specialist dentist must master both the morphology and the function of bony, vascular, and neural structures within this region, as well as their implications for dental practice. It is crucial to recognize that dental structures are highly complex, intimately related to neuromuscular systems, and subject to encephalic control.

Module 2: Oral Medicine and Pathology

Overview

Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine—understood within dentistry as Oral Medicine—is a multidisciplinary field that requires continuous integration with other dental and medical disciplines for the diagnosis and management of clinical cases.

The designation Oral Medicine highlights its strong connection with General Medicine, underscoring the overlapping theoretical and practical knowledge between dentists and physicians. For this reason, dentists must understand the medical basis and systemic implications of general pathologies and genetic syndromes prior to initiating dental treatment, with particular attention to their manifestations in the stomatognathic system.

Module 3: Pharmacology

Overview

Pharmacology represents a cornerstone of both clinical dental practice and the development of new therapeutic strategies. A comprehensive understanding of therapeutic targets, pharmacokinetic methodologies, novel pharmaceutical formulations, drug delivery and targeting strategies, therapeutic margins and toxicities, adverse reactions, and drug interactions is essential for advancing dental research and ensuring safe, effective patient care.

Module 4: Microbiology

Overview

Applied Microbiology is fundamental in the training of oral health professionals, as it examines the microorganisms present in the oral cavity and their relationship with oral disease.

The oral cavity functions as a dynamic ecosystem, hosting a diverse microbiota that contributes to digestion and defense against pathogens. When disrupted, however, this balance can lead to conditions such as dental caries and periodontitis.

Beyond local oral disease, oral microbiology has been linked to systemic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory disorders. Recent research further indicates an intrinsic relationship between oral health and the gut microbiome, emphasizing the significance of the oral–gut axis.

By understanding these interconnections, students will be equipped to approach patient care holistically, recognizing that oral microbiology plays a pivotal role in systemic health.

Module 5: Basic Molecular Biology

Overview

Molecular Biology seeks to elucidate the processes occurring in living organisms at the molecular level, with a focus on the interactions between DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis, as well as the regulation of these processes.

This module introduces theoretical content on DNA and protein structure, mechanisms of protein synthesis and regulation, and molecular detection techniques. Students will engage in self-directed learning through structured materials, instructional videos, and self-assessment exercises.

Methodological training will be delivered through analysis of published research in dentistry, applying molecular techniques to interpret real experimental outcomes. To strengthen autonomous learning and scientific literacy, students will critically dissect the most relevant aspects of research articles.

Laboratory practice serves as the capstone of this module, enabling students to apply the scientific method, develop technical skills in molecular biology, critically evaluate experimental data, and formulate independent conclusions.
