Introduction
Subject focused on the anatomical knowledge of the Cap i Coll area of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Pre-course requirements
Basic knowledge of human anatomy, specifically of the oral cavity, head and neck.
Objectives
- Master the descriptive and topographic anatomy of the head and neck.
- Develop rigorous and safe dissection skills.
- Recognize key spatial relationships with surgical implications.
- Integrate morphology with the main surgical approaches in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
- Foster the ability to analyze and correlate anatomy and clinical findings.
Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
- CN01 - Relate advanced and specialized concepts in oral surgery, implantology and oral rehabilitation.
- CN02 - Define advanced concepts related to surgical anatomy applied to the oral cavity.
- CN03 - Identify the different types of surgical interventions, aseptic techniques and types of healing of hard and soft tissues.
- CN04 - Recognize the origin and development of the different pathologies that affect the oral cavity, based on the transversal interrelation of biomedical sciences.
- CP02 - Diagnose and treat patients' oral cavity lesions conservatively or surgically, as well as their subsequent follow-up.
- CP05 - Apply advanced surgical and rehabilitative treatments in oral implantology appropriately to any patient, respecting the fundamental rights of equality between men and women, and the promotion of human rights and the values of a culture of peace and democratic values; using language that avoids androcentrism and stereotypes.
- HB01 - Adequately perform the anamnesis and physical examination by systems, face, neck and oral cavity to complete the clinical history, including good graphic documentation (photography and video).
- HB03 - Perform a differential diagnosis of oral pathological lesions and treat them surgically if necessary.
- HB04 - Handle surgical instruments, as well as appliances related to implantology and oral surgery.
- HB07 - Apply the different reconstructive and regenerative techniques of hard and soft tissues.

Teaching and learning activities
In person
| TRAINING ACTIVITY | METHODOLOGY |
| Master classes (CM) are expository classes in which the teacher presents a topic ensuring the participation of the students. These activities aim to transmit advanced knowledge and activate cognitive processes. Practical workshops (TP) usually include a brief theoretical introduction about the technique or workshop procedures by the teacher. Students, individually or in groups, practice the procedures or techniques. The teacher advises during the practice and subsequently evaluates the results obtained by each student. | Practical class (CP): Approaches, resources and procedural and practical knowledge are transmitted to students to be able to develop activities within a real context. Student participation is prioritized through practical exercises on the theory taught. |
