General Medical-Surgical Pathology 2 of the first cycle of Degree in Dentistry is part of the core subjects of the programme and aims to explain all medical and surgical pathologies that dentists must know and study during university studies.
It is a mistake to consider Dentistry as a degree based solely on the study of the oral cavity; as in many cases the dentist will require broader medical knowledge in order to provide a global and integrated perspective of patients and their associated pathologies.
There are no prerequisites
THEORETICAL
Study of medical pathology by organ systems and their oral impact .
Respiratory system
Cardiovascular System
Endocrine and metabolic
Digestive system
Central and Peripheral Nervous System
Infectious disease
Study of surgical pathology and oral impact:
Basic principles of traumatology
Otolaryngology and its relationship with the oral apparatus
Ophthalmology and its relationship with the oral apparatus
Dermatology. Skin pain. Skin injuries.
Principles of general and digestive surgery
Study and initial treatment of medical and surgical emergencies in situations related to the dentist and daily practice.
PRACTICAL
Interpretation of the main analytical results. Normal and pathological. Evaluation of clinical cases.
Elementary principles of the suture. Using suture instruments. Suture Practices
Acquisition of scientific basis of dentistry, professional values, ethical behaviour and appropriate clinical skills.
Acquisition of knowledge of the overall medical-surgical pathology, which should form the basis for achieving and subsequently being able to apply appropriate capabilities to diagnose, predict and plan for dental treatments
These competencies will be achieved through a series of methodologies based on: lectures, clinical session seminars and lab practices
Having acquired the competences referred to throughout the course while making the most of the skills taught during traditional lectures, seminars and laboratory practices.

B. PRACTICAL CREDITS
1. – Six-month assignment
There will be a six-month assignment which can be done individually or in groups of up to three people. The theme of the assignment will be linked to the agenda of the semester lectures and will be of free choice among the topics proposed by teachers in due time. The maximum length of the assignment shall not exceed 10 pages DIN A4. It shall be done with Microsoft Word text processor.
2. - Laboratory practices
In this semester, the 10 h of accredited practices in the course will be devoted to:
1st practice:
- Elementary principles of suture. Using suture instruments. Suture Practices
2nd Practice:
-Evaluation of main analytical tests, normal values, most significant alterations to the dentist.
-Review of clinical cases
General Medical-Surgical Pathology 2 is a half-yearly course with a total of 6 ECTS, 45 hours of lectures and 10h of practices. The lectures that make up the program for each semester will be delivered throughout the course. Duration of the master classes will be of 2 hours, leaving the last 20 minutes for questions and doubts on the lesson taught, as in a seminar.
Frequency of classes is two days per week.
Attendance to class might be a value to be considered in the final score of the subject.
Practical sessions constitute the second part of the course. Within these sessions, there will be two types of activities:
-Laboratory practices, or seminars
-Semester work with oral presentation
Student evaluation will be as follows:
Theoretical final exam ..................... 80%
Practices ...................................... 15%
Assignment .................................... 5%
Questions in the theoretical final exam will be multiple choice (5) with a single correct answer with the value of 1 point. A wrong answer will subtract 0.25 points.
The subject will be evaluated and graded according to an absolute score of 10 points, obtained according to the following scale:
a) Fail: 0- 4,9 (SS)
b) Approved: 5-6.9 (PA)
c) Remarkable: 7-8,9 (NT)
d) Outstanding: 9-10 (SB).
