The operative dentistry is the science that deals with the treatment of defects and loss of substance of the dental hard tissues, for biological, functional and aesthetic tooth restoration, of a single tooth, and as part of the stomatognathic system.

 There are no pre-requisites

A. GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
1. Determine the causes of loss of dental health

2. Rebuild the initial morphology of the tooth, respecting their threefold function (chewing, phonation and esthetics).

3. Protect exposed dental hard tissues, avoiding bacterial influences on mechanical pulp, thermal, osmotic, and chemotoxic.

4. Prevent a new affectation by caries.

5. Maximum respect to surrounding tissues and systemic

6. Perform techniques that lead to the restoration of dental health

B. Specific objectives:

These objectives fall into three main groups:

1. Cognitive:

1. Know and define the concepts of dental pathology, dental therapy, dental surgery and endodontics

2. Sort the different dental diseases

3. State the purpose of the dental history, and the chronological order of paragraphs that shape

4. Know the different diagnostic tests for use in pathology and dental therapy

5. Know the structure and functions of the dental tissues

6. Explain the concept of pulp-dentin complex

7. Know the reactions of the pulp-dentin complex to stimuli and external aggressions

8. Know the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical dental caries

9. List the objectives of operative dentistry

10. Knowing the sequence of the operative technique in restorative dentistry

11. Expose the classification of  Black cavities

12. Describe the characteristics of each class cavity

13. Know the name of each of the walls and ceilings that make up each class of cavity

14. Description of the general concepts governing the indications of the different materials used in these restorations

15. Describe the models that explain adherence to dental hard tissues of restorative materials

16. Knowing the clinical technique of using different adhesive systems

17. Describe the protection systems pulp-dentin complex

18. Knowing the isolation technique opearatorio field for dental surgery

2. Sensitive and motors:

1. Perform carving different types of cavities on extracted teeth or resin models

2. Make the proper isolation of the operative field on resin models

3. Apply adequate pulp protection materials and adhesive systems

4. Shut off correctly classifying different Black cavities

3. Affective:

1. Develop presentation skills in public.
