Objectives

To acquire skills in the pharmacotherapeutic management of the relevant clinical conditions in dentistry – control of pain and inflammation, control of infection, control of anxiety, control of hemostasis – in normal situation and in the medically compromised patient.

Program

PART I: PRESCRIPTION IN DENTISTRY
1. Pharmacotherapeutics: the clinical use of drugs
Factors influencing drug effects
Adverse drug effects
Drug interactions
Development and evaluation of new drugs

Patient assessement: laboratory diagnostic testing
2. Control of acute pain
Groups of drugs
Adverse effects, drug interactions
Therapeutic protocols
3. Control of chronic pain. Anxiety control
Groups of drugs
Adverse effects, drug interactions
Therapeutic protocols
4. Clinical pharmacology of local anesthetics
5. Infection control
Principles of antibiotic therapy
Groups of drugs
Adverse effects, drug interactions
Antibiotic prophylaxis
Therapeutic protocols
6. Control of hemostasis

PART II: PRESCRIPTION ON THE MEDICALLY COMPROMISED PATIENT

Teaching methods and learning activities

Teaching time / week / student:
1 theoretical class (60 minutes)
1 theoretical-practical class (60 minutes)

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

1. Normal assessment

• Continuous assessment (A) = 10 (out of 20)

a) Monograph + Oral presentation = 4 (out of 10)
b) Minitest = 6 (out of 10)
(Prescription in the medically compromised patient: treatment protocols, oral manifestations, adverse drug effects, drug interactions)


• Final assessment = 10 (B) (out of 20)

Examination test
(Prescription in dentistry: Pain control; Infection control; Controlo of hemostasis; Anxiety control)

• Final classification = A + B / 2

• Minimum classification for approval = 10 (out of 20)


2. Second opportunity assessment

Minimum classification for approval = 10 (out of 20)
