The objective of this subject of the last year of the degree programme is to provide the student with a “clinical practicum” which will allow him or her to improve skills in both the diagnosis of the different oral pathologies studied during the degree programme, and the application of the different treatments.
Prior to enrolment, the prospective student must have passed the following fourth-year subjects:
Restorative Clinical Dentistry 1
Restorative Clinical Dentistry 2
Prosthodontics 3
Prosthodontics 4
To improve the clinical practice of the students in their performance of a proper anamnesis and clinical exploration of the patient, and in their use of the different complementary tests.
Students will be able to gather all the information in a clinical record in an organised manner, with knowledge of how to discern relevant information from information of lesser importance.
To help students acquire clinical practice skills for patients, whether special needs patients or not, whether adults and children, when treating the most common symptoms of the different specialist areas, so that students are qualified to provide comprehensive essential dental clinical care.
To train students in the treatment of dental emergencies and in the prescription of appropriate drugs.
hours of integrated clinical practice on patients in the facilities of the University Dental Clinic.
hours of seminars, in which the student will work on clinical cases and review treatment protocols.
Clinical practice monitored by the lecturer in charge.
Clinical seminars.
Presentation at clinical congresses and symposia for students.
A continuous evaluation of the student will be carried out by the responsible teachers obtaining the final grade that will be:
1-Seminars
The evaluation of the seminars is aimed at assessing the level of knowledge of the different treatment protocols and their multidisciplinary application to ensure the training of the student in their clinical practices. This evaluation is carried out continuously observing the level of fulfillment of the objectives proposed in the seminars.
Attendance at seminars is mandatory for all students. In case of 2 unexcused absences or more than 3 even if justified, it will be considered as not approved.
At the end of the seminars, the instructor will average all the grades obtained by the student. The grade obtained will be over 10 and will weigh 10 percent of the total grade for the subject.
2- Clinical Practices:
Attendance at preclinical practices is mandatory for all students.
A system has been established in which the theoretical knowledge, attitudes and clinical skills of students are assessed through continuous assessment:
NOTE 1: Evaluate the Treatment according to the following criteria: (60% of the grade)
1. Knowledge of clinical protocols
2. Compliance with CUO protocols
3. Teamwork
4. Clinical skill
Note 2: Evaluate the General Attitude according to the following criteria: (20% of the grade)
1. Treatment with the patient
2. Punctuality
3. Presence
4. Order
5. Communication with the patient
Each day of CUO, the instructor evaluates on an Excel sheet the practice performed at that time by the student, detailing the type of treatment performed, numerically scoring the treatment on the one hand and on the other the attitude of the student. Also note if the student has missed or been delayed that day.
Note 3: Book of clinical cases (10% of the grade)
The final grade of the subject is the weighted sum of the qualification of clinical practices, seminars and the presentation of the Book of clinical cases (80%, 10%, 10%).
Likewise, the presentation by the student of some communication in Dental Congresses will also have an influence on the final grade, being positively assessed in their final grade of the quarter (0.5 points on the final semester grade or 1 point on the grade end of the semester if you win or publish an article in a magazine of the sector).
Regarding the effects in the Note of punctuality or Absences, as well as attitudes that imply minor or serious offenses in CUO, they are described and typified in the Normativa-Academic-CUO posted on the intranet / Forums / CUO / Materials.
The clinical protocols for the treatments to be performed are posted on the Intranet, in the section
