Courses Units

Orofacial Biomechanics

1045 - ECTS
The objectives of this course are intended to provide students with skills that enable them to specialized training in the context of physics and biomechanics.
Thus, understanding the basic structures of mathematics coupled with the physical through the interdisciplinarity of dentistry, it is central to understanding the functioning of the biomechanics of the procedures used on the day to day of the clinic, in a particular case of Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics, Implantology, Surgery, Dentistry, Periodontology, Endodontics and Orthodontics.

Diagnosis and Therapeutics I

1001 - ECTS
This discipline is designed to the 1st year  – 3rd cycle.

Development of diagnostic skills and integration in interdisciplinary therapies.

Valuation of the  protocol clinical files as reliable future databases for scientific research.

Awareness of the holistic view in diagnostic and therapeutic processes.

Motivation of interest in academic career.

Ethics and Professional Legislation

1002 - ECTS
The teaching of the syllabus of this course aims to enable students with theoretical and practical knowledge in the Ethics, Professional Ethics and Legislation. This form will be forwarded to the conduct guidelines are recognized as essential to professional practice of Dental Medicine.

Informatic and New Technologies in Dental Medicine

1003 - ECTS

This discipline is designed to the 1st year graduation students from the 3rd cycle.

Development of skills in informatic tools.

Familiarization with computers and the information sciences use in clinical practice and research;  education with  information technologies.

Increase motivation for new technologies with special attention to its reliable application.

Conscientize to permanent updating.

Research and Statistics I

1004 - ECTS

It is intended that the student know to distinguish and apply different types of epidemiological studies; implement and interpret the main epidemiological indicators: morbidity, mortality and risk. It is an aim that students know how to identify the main sources of measurement error, research and writing rules accordingly with the experimental method. So, it is intended to raise awareness among students of the importance of internal and external validity of a scientific research.

Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation I

1005 - ECTS
The Dental Medicine is a scientific area of strong clinical and laboratory component.
The PhD course in Dental Sciences (non­degree awarding), corresponding to the 1st year of the Doctorate in Dental Medicine (60 ECTS credits), is an eminently theoretical course and theoretical and practical. The course Research in Clinical Environment Laboratory and was integrated into the said doctoral study plan to address the lack of student relationship to clinical and laboratory practice.

Prótese Dentária e Oclusão I

1046 - ECTS
The objectives of this course are designed to provide students with skills to enable them to scientific research in the areas of Oral Rehabilitation ­ Fixed Prosthodontics, Removable Prosthodontics and Occlusion and Orofacial Pain.
Be competent in the knowledge of materials, techniques and methodologies of research in dental and occlusion prosthesis, and its interrelation with other important sciences for the training of dentists, including Implantology, Oral Surgery, Periodontology, Orofacial Genetics and Biomechanics.
Be aware of laboratory procedures and new technologies used in Dental Prosthesis and Occlusion, and its relations with the research methodologies.
Have knowledge of research leading to PhD theses in Prosthodontics in Portuguese dentistry schools.

Diagnosis and Therapeutics II

1020 - ECTS
Provide students with knowledge that will enable the differential diagnosis of orofacial disorders with overlapping signs and symptoms.
 
Provide students with knowledge that will enable them to better interpret and understand the aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of these particular patient groups, including the differential diagnosis and the different treatment options of dental­maxillo­facial diseases.

To develop work skills in multidisciplinary teams and to work protocols as a way of creating reliable data for research, mainly in the clinical field.

Research and Statistics II

1021 - ECTS

With the implementation of this course is intended to deep the skills acquired in the previous curricular unit in the first semester, particularly in causation, considering the existence of multifactor etiological relationships.

Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation II

1022 - ECTS
Dental medicine is a scientific area in which the clinical and laboratory components are notorious.
The doctoral Course in dentistry, with 60 ECTS, is a highly theoretical course, but in which the need for connection to the clinic and laboratories, in terms of research, is useful and necessary.
Thus, this curriculum unit objectives are:
1. Research in clinical environment (retrospective studies or other) or not members of the dissertation.
2. Research in the laboratory environment (dental anatomy and Physiology, genetics, Prosthodontics, biomechanics, histocompatibility or other) or not members of the dissertation.
3. Teaching experience in ECTS in dentistry (MIMD), Masters (Oral Surgery – MCOB, or Oral Rehabilitation - MROB) or in specialized courses of FMDUP.

Seminar of Thesis Project

1023 - ECTS
The course seeks to identify epidemiologic paradigms of research, promoting knowledge­date research methods; the use of instruments and research practices and their application to the investigation process.
The unit supports the preparation of the thesis project, and assessment procedures of continuous nature.

Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation III

1035 - ECTS
The curricular unit Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation III, annual curricular unit from 2nd year of the PhD program in dentistry, would establish a bridge between research and clinical and laboratory practice, key components in this scientific area.
So are goals of this course produce scientific work in clinical and/or laboratory environment, on issues that can integrate or not the thesis, as well as developing skills in monitoring and control of clinical or laboratory activity in the Master in Dental Medicine or the other Master's degree or specialization courses of the Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Porto

Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation IV

1037 - ECTS
The curricular unit Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation IV, annual curricular unit from 3nd year of the PhD program in dentistry, intend to continue the previous work at curricular units of Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation I, II e III, continuing to support the students in its scientific in clinical and / or laboratory work, with the final goal of development of scientific works that could be published in scientific journal.
