Objectives

Application  and consolidation of the theorical knowledge of Pediatric Dentistry

Skills development in pre-clinical environment  with the most frequently used materials and treatments  in Pediatric Dentistry

Develop knowledge and clinical skills in recognising preventive treatment needs and carrying out primary and secondary preventive actions on patients, as well as simple restorative treatment.

Apply clinical communication skills with patients and caregivers; train to motivate and educate, with the aim of improve oral health literacy and developing skills in the area of community oral health.

To teach the local etiology of malocclusion and the fundamentals of orthodontic diagnosis as well as its clinical application. To teach how to diagnose Class I, II and III malocclusions and define their treatment.

Promote research and communication skills through the production and presentation of a scientific poster on the subject of the course unit

Learning outcomes and competences

Through the knowledge and skills to be acquired students will be able to identify the signs and symptoms of various pathologies and treatment needs in pediatric patients. In addition, they will be able to know the specificities of various auxiliary diagnostic aids. Through the practical activity, it is expected that students will be able to develop the competence to perform preventive acts and prepare therapeutic proposals, namely in preventive and interceptive terms.Understand the malocclusion and its etiology. To know the signs and symptoms of Angle malocclusions and general therapeutic procedures.
