Objectives

Objectives:

The specific objectives of UC Endodontics III is that the student know the means to:

1. Perform the pulp and periapical diagnosis in specific clinical cases;
2. Carry out treatment plans appropriate to the patient and informed consent
 3. Assess the difficulty of the endodontic treatment in specific clinical cases;
4. Perform endodontic treatments in clinical cases of low difficulty;
5. Recognize the importance of the appropriate follow-up of clinical cases after endodontic treatment;
6. Perform emergency treatment in endodontics;
7. Perform conservative treatments of the pulp;
8. Restore the teeth after endodontic treatment

In addition, it is expected that the student knows the mode of presentation of small oral presentations and understand its importance in communication with patients and colleagues.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of the semester, students should know:

- To diagnose the pulp and periapital diseases;

- To present the various therapeutic alternatives, informing the patient about the prognosis of each one;

-To conduct conservative  and emergency pulp treatments, and endodontic treatment of low difficulty;

- To perform the adequate follow-up of clinical cases after endodontic treatment;

-To be able to adequately restore the teeth after endodontic treatment.

They should also be able to communicate, organize and support its clinical cases and their treatment options.

Working method

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Although formally there are no specific pre-requisites for Endodontics III, it is considered that students must have general knowledge of Oral biology, Anatomy, Histomorphology, Anatomy and Dental Morphology, Physiology and Pathophysiology. Furthermore it appears that the students already have some clinical experience gained in previous curricular units in clinical setting, such as Oral Surgery, Operative Dentistry, with some prior contact with patients.

Studentes should be familiar with basic clinical procedures in dentistry and local anesthesia.

Program

Practical classes (clinical)
- Conducting clinical acts that include a medical history, collection of signs and symptoms, diagnosis, differential diagnosis with endodontic pathology;
-Preparation and presentation to the patient the treatment plan;
-Conduct and interpretation of intra-oral radiographic examinations;
-Determining the degree of difficulty of endodontic treatment;
-Conducting conservative pulp treatments;
-Emergency care in Endodontics;
-Performing endodontic treatment with manual instrumentation in clinical cases previously selected;
-Follow-up of previous endodontic treatments.

  There will be no limit to the maximum number of acts to be performed by student, provided there is equitable distribution thereof.

There is a minimum of 3 clinical reports (dentes/ canais) by binomial  to be approved in the Curriculoar unit of EIII.

TP classes - Endodontic treatment demonstration in patient, clinical protocol of endodontic treatment,   form assessment of the difficulty of root canal treatment, follow-up form assessment, restorability of teeth, presentation and discussion of clinical cases by the students.

Complementary Bibliography

Teaching methods and learning activities

Students are divided in groups, supervised by a professor. From each work the students must write an individual report with the respective x-rays.

Students are encouraged to present the reports in TP classes, which may be selected for oral comunication or poster in cientific conferences.
