Introduction
Surgical Periodontics course is part of the Master's Degree in Implantology and Oral Surgery and aims to introduce students to the theoretical and practical foundations of periodontal surgery and implantology.
Through comprehensive training, students will acquire the necessary knowledge for the diagnosis, planning, and execution of basic periodontal surgical procedures, as well as an understanding of the biological principles underlying the placement of dental implants.
The course consists of theoretical lectures and clinical seminars, promoting evidence-based learning and responsible clinical practice.
Pre-course requirements
-University training in Dentistry (Bachelor's or Bachelor's degree).
-Previous knowledge of oral anatomy, periodontal pathology, local anesthesia, and dental pharmacology.
-Clinical experience in non-surgical periodontal treatments (scaling and root planing) is recommended.
Objectives
-Understand the biological foundations of periodontal disease and its surgical treatment.
-Know the indications, techniques, and objectives of the different periodontal surgery procedures.
-Become familiar with the biological principles of osseointegration and oral implantology.
-Develop skills in periodontal and implant surgery diagnosis and planning.
-Promote a critical and ethical attitude toward clinical decisions in periodontics and implantology.
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.
