Teaching language
PortugueseObjectives
The aim of this unit is to introduce the students in themes related to computers and information science applied to the dental clinical practice and research, allowing them to use this information technologies in a productive way throughout their education and occupation.
Learning outcomes and competences
Students will be capable of:
- Do scientific research on the WWW using different search engines and databases.
- Use of software Endnote to search/organize/manage bibliography references.
Students will also learn:
-
Electronic oral-health clinical records and practice management systems specifications.
-
How to use/apply new technologies in Dental Medicine.
Working method
PresencialProgram
1. Introduction to Medical and Dental Informatics
2. Use of computers at the Dental Medicine Clinic: electronic clinical record and clinical management programs
3. Integration of New Technologies in Clinical Practice
4. Internet and Dental Medicine
4.1. Quality assessment of dentistry-related web-sites
4.2. The search for scientific information on the Internet using search engines and virtual databases
4.3. Medline®: how to do a basic search and an advanced search
5. Management of Bibliographic References (EndnoteX5)
TOPICS:
- "Search for scientific information on the WWW: Basic and advanced search on the Google® and Google Scholar® portals; Basic and advanced search on the Medline® database."
- "Endnote X5® bibliographic reference management software":
- Creation of databases and bibliographic references.
- Connection to external databases (online) and search / import through Endnote X4®.
- Integration with word processors, creation of a bibliography, formatting of references, and other functions. All valid results of the research carried out by the students in the previous paragraph will be inserted in a database created for this purpose in Endnote X6®, which will act as a starting point for the database of scientific references to be used by the student in their work.

Calculation formula of final grade
Formula Evaluation:
Hypothesis 1 - Scientific Paper (75%) + Written evaluation (25%)
Hypothesis 1 - Scientific Paper (75%) + Written evaluation (25%)
Hypothesis 2 - Scientific Poster (50%) + Written evaluation (25%)
Hypothesis 3 - Written evaluation (100%)
The final grade obtained will be classified in a scale of 0-18 points (90%) being the remaining 2 points (10%) attributed to attendance.
The minimum score to be obtained in each of the different methods of evaluation values is 9.0, with a final average of any of the hypotheses listed above greater than 9.5 points.
