Objectives


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 the fixed Prosthodontics Removable, Implantology , of Surgery, Dentistry, Periodontology of, of Endodontics and Orthodontics.


 

It also aims to acquire knowledge to address each case, knowing the most appropriate technical studies, as well as a competent critical analysis in relation to scientific publications on laboratory biomechanical area and also the understanding of scientific texts in which Methods Finite Element Method (FEM) and "Meshless" are used.


They are made available to student’s tools relating to the areas of biomechanics and bioengineering.


Is still transmitted knowledge so that it can evaluate the half-life of the materials used in prosthetic and prosthetic structures.

Learning outcomes and competences


The basic skills are taught to be able for students to qualify experimental laboratory concrete procedures, using holographic interferometry, Extensometry, Fotoelestacidade, Cadcam, Image Correlation beyond rapid prototyping and also the MEF, Finite Element Method, Mathematical Models.

Teaching methods and learning activities


The teaching methodology focuses on theoretical and theoretical-practical.


The lectures beyond conventional knowledge transmitted by teachers, also aimed at the active participation of students with previously certain matters, which implies the preliminary investigation of the topics.


They are organized in groups to deepen the various topics motivating students to present Power Points from these materials.

The theoretical and practical classes are taught in LOME, Optics Laboratory of Experimental Mechanics of FEUP.


All students take contact with equipment to carry out the experimental techniques according to the work to be done.


They perform these experimental works, after the knowledge cemented in the lectures.
