Objectives
The course aims to develop, within students, basic knowledge regarding regenerative medicine approaches for Dental Medicine. Through the acquisition of fundamental concepts of cell functionality, biological response modulation with biomodulators and the recognition of the relevance of scaffolds for the mimicking of the adequate microenvironment, that the student develops his competences for the application of these concepts within the regenerative strategies for oralbased biological tissues.
Learning outcomes and competences
