Introduction
The subject RESEARCH IN PERIODONTICS AND ORAL SURGERY deals with the main lines of research in Oral Surgery and Periodontics. It aims to provide students with the knowledge and methodology necessary to develop a research protocol in these areas, as well as to enable students to carry out a critical reading of research papers published in scientific journals in the field of oral surgery and periodontics.
Pre-course requirements
Be admitted to the University Master's Degree in Research in Dentistry.
Objectives
General:
- To know the main lines of research in Oral Surgery and Periodontics.
- To know the methods and techniques used in these lines of research.
Specific:
- Students should be familiar with the fundamentals and techniques of research in Oral Surgery and Periodontology.
- Students should be familiar with the methods used to search for information on basic and clinical research in the area of oral surgery and periodontology.
- To know the main lines of research in Oral Surgery and Periodontics.
- Be able to design research projects and protocols in Oral Surgery and Periodontics.
- To be able to write a scientific article on current topics in Oral Surgery and Periodontics.
- To carry out a critical reading of research papers published in scientific journals.
- Students must be able to communicate their work procedures and conclusions clearly and precisely.
- Acquire the ability to analyse and synthesise the most relevant data.
Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
- CN01 - Identify ethical concepts in dental research.
- HB01 - Use the most common clinical and laboratory techniques in the fields of biomaterials, cell and tissue cultures, in the field of oral surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry and restorative dentistry and dental materials.
- HB03 - Apply animal experimentation models, as well as the methodology of animal manipulation in the field of dentistry.
- HB05 - Correctly analyze the results by applying diagnostic techniques specific to dental research.
Learning outcomes of the subject
- - Scientific Methodology - HB05, CP01, CP06 - 1. Formulate appropriate research questions. 2. Define the fundamental concepts related to epidemiology and the scientific process. 3. Interpret the fundamental and specific concepts of biostatistics related to research in dentistry. 4. Adequately apply statistical tools to complete the data analysis of your research. 5. Use specific computer tools for bibliographic searches. 6. Adequately design experimental and non-experimental studies.
- - Advanced Research Techniques Applied to Dentistry - HB01, HB03, CP02, CP04 - 1. Correctly interpret radiological images and other complementary tests, appropriate to the chosen field of interest. 2. Defend before a scientific audience the presentation of multidisciplinary cases with arguments based on scientific evidence and the possible questions that may arise from it. 3. Demonstrate the capacity for self-learning in the development of new instrumental techniques, in the acquisition of new concepts in the field of anatomy, biomaterials, tissue regeneration and in the search for new scientific information. 4. Identify the different experimental models used in the different areas of dentistry: oral surgery, periodontics, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, restorative dentistry and dental materials. 5. Adequately design clinical and/or laboratory studies applied to each field of dentistry. 6. Develop an appropriate study protocol for a problem detected in a specific area of dentistry.

Teaching and learning activities
Online
Literature search, synthesis and critical analysis of the studies obtained on the various issues raised.
Development of the ideal protocol.
Presentation of a literature review on the latest lines of research in implantology.
Evaluation systems and criteria
Online
The evaluation will be based on the different bibliographical review exercises and activities proposed to the student, and a final exam on the most relevant aspects of the subject, which will be carried out once all the theoretical content of the subject has been explained.
Continuous assessment (CE) 25%.
