Periodontal diseases affect one in every four Spaniards over 30 years of age. The principles of pathogenesis and treatment of these diseases remain one of the fundamentals of main dental treatments.

In previous courses, the student of dentistry has deepened his or her theoretical knowledge of the most relevant aspects of periodontics. Periodontics Seminar 2 aims to review and consolidate the knowledge gained through literature seminars and clinical cases.

Students must have passed the subject Periodontics Seminar 1.

Apply the theoretical knowledge learnt in previous courses in different clinical situations.

At the end of the course, the student will:

     Differentiate between the treatment options and surgical techniques for reduction of periodontal pockets.
     Differentiate between the treatment options and surgical techniques for the correction of regenerating periodontal defects.
     Differentiate between the treatment options and surgical techniques for the correction of defects and mucogingival problems.
     Differentiate the treatment options and surgical techniques for treating post extraction alveolar regeneration and other techniques of guided bone regeneration (GBR).
     Differentiate the treatment options and surgical techniques for implant placement surgery, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of peri-implant pathologies.

• 64 - Undertaking basic oral and dental pathology treatments for patients of all ages. The treatment procedures should be minimally invasive and based on a comprehensive and integrated approach to oral and dental treatment
• 65 - Diagnosing, planning and undertaking, at a general level, multidisciplinary, sequential and integrated treatment of limited complexity for patients of all ages and conditions and patients with special needs (diabetes, hypertension, oncological diseases, transplants, immune-depression, anti-clotting, etc.) or disabilities. Specifically the dentist should be competent in establishing a diagnosis, a prognosis and developing a suitable treatment plan, particularly in terms of orofacial pain, temporo-mandibular disorders, bruxism and other parafunctions; dental and periapical pathology; oral and dental trauma; periodontal and peri-implanted tissue pathologies; pathology of the mandibular bone, of soft oral tissue and annex glands; states of partial or total edentation and planning rehabilitation treatment via dento-muco supported prostheses, or dental impants, dental malpositions or malocculusions and other anatomical or functional alterations of the face or the stomatognathic system and their potential orthodontic, orthopaedic or surgical corrections
• 66 - Taking and interpreting x-rays and other image-based procedures that are important in dental practice
• 68 - Determining and identifying the aesthetic requirements of patients and the possibility of resolving their concerns
• 69 - Identifying patients who require special care, recognising the characteristics and peculiarities of such cases
• 70 - Evaluating motor and sensory oral, mandibular and annex function
• 71 - Undertaking limited procedures for invasive diagnostic techniques using soft tissue (biopsies)
• 72 - Appropriate medical prescriptions, while being aware of their guidelines and warnings, systemic effects and repercussions on other organs
• 73 - Applying loco-regional anaesthetic techniques
• 74 - Preparing and isolating the operatory field
• 75 - Identifying, evaluating and attending to medical emergencies which may arise during clinical practice and apply cardiopulmonary recuscitation techniques; manage severe infections, including pharmaceutical prescriptions and simple surgical aspects
• 76 - Identifying and dealing with any dental emergencies
• 77 - Undertaking medical and surgical treatment for common diseases in soft oral tissue
• 80 - Treating the inflammatory processes of periodontal tissue both pharmacologically and surgically, including supra and subgingival techniques for periodontal instrumentation

The course will enable the student to identify the different periodontal pathologies and complications by using evidence-based treatment options.

• 4.001 - Know the anatomy and histology of the periodontal tissues in health and disease
• 4.002 - Understand the mechanisms of bacterial colonization in the oral cavity and identify their implications for health and periodontal diseases
• 4.003 - - Know the mechanisms of inflammatory and immune response of periodontal tissues against bacteria of dental biofilm
• 4.004 - Understand the main factors associated with periodontal disease, identifying their causes, pathogenesis and risk factors
• 4.005 - Apply diagnostic means and methods available for assessing all patients with periodontal disease
• 4.006 - Obtain the adequate clinical experience in implementing the specific preventive measures against EP and in the implementation of the appropriate therapeutic measures in patients with gingivitis.
• 4.007 - Know the clinical and therapeutic methods that allow the student to make a correct periodontal diagnosis and periodontal treatment planning
• 4.008 - Know the surgical methods for the treatment of the most complex periodontal problems
• 4.009 - Know the main problems that associate periodontal disease with systemic pathology, pathogenesis identifying preventive and therapeutic implications
• 4.010 - Know the main problems associated with peri-implant pathology, knowing the diagnostic and therapeutic methods for its resolution
• 4.011 - – Obtain the adequate clinical experience in the treatment of the most common periodontal problems under supervision
• 4.014 - Perform periodontal maintenance of simple cases
• 4.026 - Perform both medical and surgical treatment of common diseases of the oral soft tissues
• 4.027 - Perform simple surgical procedures: removal of temporary and permanent erupted teeth, fractured or retained roots and uncomplicated surgical removal of impacted teeth and simple procedures of pre-prosthetic surgery
• 4.028 - Diagnose, plan and carry out a surgical treatment of limited complexity in patients of all ages and conditions
• 4.030 - Know how to derive, when necessary, to other professionals or centers, complex treatments or medically compromised patients.
• 4.137 - Identify patients requiring a multidisciplinary treatment to achieve therapeutic goals, and be able to work on the treatment.

Theoretical/clinical seminars in which the student must read and delve into the topic of each seminar as well as provide clinical cases evaluated during their practical sessions in the University Dental Clinic (whenever possible). The teacher responsible for each class will provide illustrative cases.

The theoretical exam consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, with a single valid answer. Each question will have 5 possible answers. Each incorrect answer will subtract 0.20 points. The theoretical part is passed with a 5.

The theoretical evaluation represents 70% of the final grade that will be averaged with the score obtained in the clinical practices that represents the remaining 30%.

The theoretical part and the practical part must be approved individually. Otherwise, the notes will not be averaged.

An A with honours will be given to students who earn a mark higher than a 9 and at the discretion of the lecturer.
