Dental prosthesis is the part of dentistry that deals with the modification of natural teeth due to pathology and the restitution of lost teeth, as well as the prevention of future diseases.

The course will address the study of removable complete prosthodontics and removable partial dentures through functional methods for rehabilitating the masticatory system of partially or fully edentulous patients.

-    Masterly classes (1 group) related to the theoretical contents of the subject.

-    Pre–clinical workshop practice classes (distributed in different practice groups).

-    During the programming of the pre–clinical practical classes, according to the academic calendar published at the beginning of each academic year when more than 2 justified absences are produced.

-    The student will not be able to apply for the qualification of this part of the subject.

-    The teaching material provided by the teachers via the University network should be regarded as an aid for students in their learning process, but in no case the result evaluations will exclusively be established based on them.

-    C.U.O. practices: Clinical activity related to the contents of the subject PROSTHODONTICS

The teaching materials provided by the teachers through the University network should be considered as an aid to students in the learning process, but in no case the evaluation of the results will be set based exclusively on them, but with the contents that teachers have explained during the theoretical and practical classes and/or the recommended biography.

The final grade for the prosthodontics subject will be determined by the final mark of the theory part (40%), the final mark of the pre-clinical practical workshop (30%) and he marks of the practices C.U.O (30%).

To pass the subject, students must pass the theory, the workshop pre-clinical practices and the C.U.O practices separately. Once individually passed, the referred percentages will be applied.

EVALUATION OF THE THEORETICAL PART OF THE SUBJECT

The theory part of the subject PROSTHODONTICS 1 will be evaluated by a written test. The content of the questions in this test can refer to any of the subjects studied in the topics full dentures and of removable partial dentures, taking into account that all this content considering that all the contents are required for the patient clinical performance.

The written test can be of two types:

-       Twenty (20) short–answer questions

-       Fifty (50) multiple-choice questions with five answers/options and only one correct.

In the event that the written test of the theoretical part is twenty (20) short–answer questions, each answer will be evaluated according to the following scale: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1; up to  a maximum of twenty (20) points (=10/10 points).

In this form of written test, the test is considered passed if the grade obtained by the student is equal to or greater than 12/12  (=5/10 points).

In the event that the written test of the theoretical part is fifty (50) multiple-choice questions, with five (5) answers/options for each question, and one of them correct, the valuation will be as follow:

-   Question answered correctly: +1 point

-   Question answered incorrectly: -0.20 point

-   Maximum rating 50 points (=10/10 points)

-   The written test is considered passed in multiple-choice format if the rating is equal or superior to 25/50  (= 0.5/10 points).

-   In anticipation of possible objections/cancellations of questions by the student in this written test method, in the form of the written test there will be three or five (3 ó 5) added questions (also with five (5) options and only one correct), which will count in case of acceptance of the appeal. During the completion of the written test; the students can propose the objection/cancellation of the question by writing a note on the answer sheet, which will specify the question number and the reason for the request. The objection/cancellations of the questions will only be resolved by the teacher of the given subject.

-   The students will have to complete a double answer sheet, one of  them is to be given to the teachers at the end of the test to proceed with the evaluation, along with the questionnaire; and the other will be used by the students to make their own self–evaluation comparing it with the correct answer sheets which will be published once the written test is over.

It exists the possibility of requesting the completion of a written work in relation to the content of the subject.

Possibility of conducting an oral examination in special cases according to specific students needs prior acceptance of the extraordinary situation by the teacher concerned and the academic secretary.

EVALUATION OF THE ACTIVITY PRE–CLINICAL PRACTICE COURSE

The final criterion for evaluating the clinical practice is the subject of on going assessment. For this reason, each pre–clinical practice will be evaluated according to the acquisition and application of knowledge, skills and attitudes (including punctuality). When the program of practical classes comes to an end, a final assessment of this part will be done in order to obtain a grade where students are aware of expressing their knowledge and skills demanded from them. 

The sum of all grades during the pre–clinical practical classes, including the final test, will eventually settle the final grade of the practice.

t will be the responsibility of each student that the faculty can carry out the continuous evaluation in the acquisition and application of the skills and technical knowledge, presenting their preclinical personal works to evaluation.

EVALUATION OF THE SUBJECT PRACTICAL ACTIVITY OF C.U.O

The final criterion for evaluating the practical part of the subject is C.U.O continuous assessment. For this reason, each C.U.O practice will be evaluated according to the acquisition and application of scientific knowledge, relationship with the patients, their surgical skills and attitudes (including punctuality).

REVIEW OF THE WRITTEN TEST

To be able to get a review of the written test of the theoretical part you must make an appointment by e-mail or any other channel indicated by the teacher concerned during the written test. Any request not suited by the indicated way or after the deadline period, will not be accepted.
