Introduction

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.

Pre-course requirements

There are no prerequisites

Objectives

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

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

Elementary principles of the suture. Using suture instruments. Suture Practices

Competences / Learning outcomes of the degree programme

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
