Introduction

In the event that the health authorities announce a new period of confinement due to the evolution of the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.

Conservative dentistry aims to teach basic current concepts in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of dental tissues and of diseases of the periradicular tissues. In this subject, we provide a synthesis of the objectives of the subjects Dental Pathology, Operative Dentistry and Endodontics, as well as Introduction to Restorative Clinical Dentistry, through the discussion of selected papers and which are taught through clinical practice with patients
