Introduction
This course is taught during the first semester of the first year of the University Master’s Degree in Oral Surgery and Implantology and is aimed at reviewing, reinforcing and consolidating the fundamental concepts of oral medical-surgical pathology acquired during the Degree in Dentistry, applying them to an advanced clinical context.
Oral Medical-Surgical Pathology includes the study of diagnosis and treatment, both surgical and complementary, of congenital and acquired diseases, lesions and defects of the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity, the jaws and the facial region, including functional and aesthetic aspects.
The boundaries between medicine and oral and maxillofacial surgery are not clearly defined. For this reason, this course aims to provide a global and integrated overview of the main oral medical-surgical pathologies, as well as their medical and surgical therapeutic approaches, which cannot and should not be separated from either a clinical or a teaching perspective.
It should be taken into account that most patients value in their dentist an integral training that provides safety not only in manual and technical aspects, but also in medical knowledge. The dentist is undoubtedly the specialist best trained in the prevention, diagnosis and medical-surgical treatment of diseases of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Pre-course requirements
To enroll in this course, students must be registered in the first year of the University Master’s Degree in Oral Surgery and Implantology.
Objectives
To provide comprehensive theoretical and practical training in the physiopathology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral medical-surgical pathology, including congenital and acquired anomalies of the dental organ, oral cavity, jaws and adjacent tissues, within the scope of the oral and maxillofacial region / oral and craniofacial region.
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.
- CP01 - Plan and rehabilitate patients with unitary, partial and total edentulism with an aesthetic and functional result (adjusting the occlusion and integration of the prosthesis in the patient's mouth and face as a whole).
- CP02 - Diagnose and treat patients' oral cavity lesions conservatively or surgically, as well as their subsequent follow-up.
- CP03 - Resolve complications that may arise before, during and after an oral surgery intervention.
- CP04 - Generate work synergies with professionals from other areas and disciplines by designing joint strategies for action in oral surgery and implantology patients.
- 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.
- CP08 - Carry out, through prior preparation, an aesthetic and functional oral rehabilitation treatment plan.
- 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).
- HB02 - Interpret the different radiological examinations in the field of oral surgery and implantology.
- 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.
- HB06 - Apply the different existing techniques to perform complex dental extractions.
- HB10 - Treat anxiety and pain resulting from surgical treatments in the field of implantology and oral surgery.

Perform different reconstructive/regenerative techniques in the oral cavity, both hard and soft tissues. 8. Present clinical cases and treatment plans in public and their argued defense
- - Complementary Specialties - LEARNING OUTCOMES: 1. Work in a multidisciplinary way, especially with the prosthetics, periodontics, orthodontics and endodontics departments. 2. Interpret complementary radiological examinations, especially in a CBCT computed tomography. 3. Simulate surgical and prosthetic interventions in synthetic, animal or virtual models. 4. Make a rehabilitative treatment plan and its alternatives. 5. Know the different diagnostic techniques in oral rehabilitation 6. Diagnose and surgically treat periodontal disease 7. Identify the concepts of dental clinic management 8. Describe the materials and techniques associated with endodontic surgery 9. Simulate surgical interventions in artificial, animal or digital models.

Carry out an anamnesis, a diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan in oral surgery and implantology 2. Diagnose lesions in the oral cavity and oral cancer diagnostic protocols. 3. Apply appropriate surgical techniques to perform simple and complex dental extractions. 4. Place implants at different times after extraction and different times to load them. 5. Prepare a sterile surgical field following sterilization/disinfection standards 6. Work in a hospital/outpatient environment with sedation and general anesthesia 7. Perform different reconstructive/regenerative techniques in the oral cavity, both hard and soft tissues. 8. Resolve complications of surgical treatments
