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 pre-clinical environment and 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

Presencial

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 pre-clinical (manual instrumentation) and clinical experience acquired in previous curricular units in clinical setting, such as Oral Surgery, Operative Dentistry, with some prior contact with patients.

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

Students are divided in groups, supervised by a professor. From each work  (clinical or pre-clinical) 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.
