The majority of the population will experience some form of periodontal pathology at some stage during their lives, with this still being the most frequent cause of tooth loss in people over 35. The knowledge of this periodontal pathology, its prevention and treatment, both surgical and non-surgical, is essential for maintaining the health, function, comfort and aesthetics of dentition throughout life. Knowledge of periodontics will allow comprehensive therapy as part of the multidisciplinary treatment that most of our patients require. Without periodontal health, there cannot be health or proper functioning.
Dr José Nart is head of the Periodontics Department, and the lecturer in charge of the subject is Dr. Blanca Paniagua.
Have approved Basic Periodontics.
General objectives of the theoretical programme:
1. To ensure that students are able to identify the different types of periodontal diseases, their aetiology and clinical characteristics, with students being able to perform the diagnosis of periodontal pathologies and to treat initial and moderate forms.
2. To ensure that students are able to re-evaluate cases after the hygiene-causal phase and to decide which patients need surgical treatment as part of their periodontal therapy.
3. To ensure that students understand the different surgical procedures and their possible indications and contraindications.
4. To ensure that students are able to educate and motivate patients during all phases of periodontal treatment and, in particular, during the maintenance phase.
5. To ensure students are able to understand the critical importance of the maintenance phase for the long-term success of periodontal therapy.
6. To ensure that students understand the possible interaction and the effect of the periodontal pathology on the systemic pathology of the patient.
7. To ensure that students understand the scientific method and are able to apply it to periodontics.
1. ADVANCED DIAGNOSIS (25/01/2019; Prof. Alberto Monje)

- Inborn immune response (inflammatory response) and acquired (cellular and humoral).
- Periodontal prognosis.

Master classes by teachers from the Department of Periodontology in a classroom to all the students enrolled in the subject. Such methodology allows the use of audiovisual media to support the content. Likewise, students can interact and participate actively.
The theoretical exam represents 70% to the final grade and the periodontal clinical case 30%.
The exam will be multiple choice test type with a correction factor of 0.20.
In addition, a periodontal clinical case should be presented by CUO pairs of a patient with gingivitis or periodontitis and the completed phase I (see attached document), which will correspond to 30% of the CUO note. The template can not be modified, since all students must follow the same format.
To pass the subject it is necessary that both parts (theoretical and practical) are approved and the grade of approval will be equal or superior to 5.0.
There is no option to do a written work to pass the subject.
Honors will be given from 9, at the discretion of the faculty.
A PDF with the most relevant concepts of each class will be delivered in Moodle, as well as articles, etc.
We advise students to take notes and check it out with the recommended bibliography.
Class attendance is highly recommended.
