Introduction
In this subject, the concepts acquired in the Pulp Physiopathology subject I will be deepened.
Pre-course requirements
There are no prerequisites
Objectives
Know the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the formation of reparative and tertiary dentine. Know the biochemical and cellular composition of the dental pulp. Know the characteristics of the pulp nervous tissue as well as its response to external aggressions. To know how pulp vascularity works in health and pathology situations Know the inflammatory mediators and their effects on the dental pulp. To know the inflammatory response at the molecular level in periapical pathology. Know the clinical implications of the pulp response to external aggressions.
Competences / Learning outcomes of the degree programme
Self-learning capacity in the development of new instrumental techniques, in the acquisition of new scientific concepts, and in the search for new scientific information. Ability to argue and defend their own scientific ideas as well as to listen, analyze, evaluate and respond to the ideas of another person. Acquire learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a self-directed and autonomous way. Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas in a research context. Apply the knowledge acquired, and develop their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study. Communicate the conclusions, knowledge and ultimate reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized publics in a clear and unambiguous way. Be able to apply the appropriate diagnostic techniques and correctly interpret the results derived from them. Ability to integrate the new knowledge acquired through research and study, and deal with complexity. Be able to diagnose and prevent pulpoperiapical disorders and be up-to-date on the diagnostic and therapeutic advances that arise during the course of his professional life
