It is intended that the student know to distinguish and apply different types of epidemiological studies; implement and interpret the main epidemiological indicators: morbidity, mortality and risk. It is an aim that students know how to identify the main sources of measurement error, research and writing rules accordingly with the experimental method. So, it is intended to raise awareness among students of the importance of internal and external validity of a scientific research.

The Dental Medicine is a scientific area of strong clinical and laboratory component.

The PhD course in Dental Sciences (non­degree awarding), corresponding to the 1st year of the Doctorate in Dental Medicine (60 ECTS credits), is an eminently theoretical course and theoretical and practical. The course Research in Clinical Environment Laboratory and was integrated into the said doctoral study plan to address the lack of student relationship to clinical and laboratory practice.

When completing the course of Biomaterials the student must be qualified:

-                 To select and to manipulate the dental materials included in the syllabus of this course.

-                 To evaluate these biomaterials performance based in the scientific knowledge of its composition, structure and

properties.

-                 To know the biomaterials limitations and the characteristics that can cause alterations when in service.

-                 To recognize and to understand the reasons for dental materials clinical failure.

-                 To evaluate in a critical way the characteristics of new materials presented by the producing industry, by the international standardization organizations or reported in scientific journals.

The student must be able to present research and synthetic overview of some issues related to research in the field of Periodontology, getting ready to prepare a research protocolthe end of the semester should carry out a systematic revision of a periodontology theme.

the student should master the concepts of the relationship periodontal disease / periodontal treatment and smoking and brief intervention for smoking cessation and be familiar with the concepts of intensive intervention on smoking cessation.

The aim of the course UC Pediatric Dentistry II was prepared in order to develop and specify the previously acquired knowledge whether physical, psychic and biological about the child and deepen knowledge of odontopediatrics specific techniques and provide thus a workout one that can be deftly reliability and efficiency dental treatment of the child.

Was concern of teaching staff that the program be as comprehensive as possible without however surrealist, according to the conditions currently provided at our school. 

Provide students with knowledge that will enable the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders as well as the differential diagnosis of orofacial disorders with overlapping signs and symptoms.

Provide students with information on the most appropriate methodologies and the means currently available to develop research projects involving the area of diagnosis and / or therapy in dentistry.

Provide students with knowledge that will enable them to better interpret and understand the aspects related to the diagnosis and treatment of these particular patient groups, including the differential diagnosis and the different treatment options of dental­maxillo­facial diseases.

Get differentiation and ability to develop sufficient skills to be able to further training of excellence. It is intended that the doctoral student of Endodontics area are able to:

With the implementation of this course is intended to deep the skills acquired in the previous curricular unit in the first semester, particularly in causation, considering the existence of multifactor etiological relationships.

When completing the course of Biomaterials the pupil must be qualified:

-                 To evaluate the biomaterials performance based in the scientific knowledge of its composition, structure and properties.

-                 To know the biomaterials limitations and the characteristics that can cause alterations when in service.

-                 To recognize and to understand the reasons for dental materials clinical failure.

-                 To evaluate in a critical way the characteristics of new materials presented by the producing industry, by the international standardization organizations or reported in scientific journals.

This information is related to biomedical materials included in the syllabus of this course.

The objectives of this course are to provide expertise in the following areas:

-                 Differential diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders and treatment of these disorders;

-                 Diagnostic tests in Occlusion, TMJ and Orofacial Pain.

The curricular unit Clinical or Laboratorial Investigation III, annual curricular unit from 2nd year of the PhD program in dentistry, would establish a bridge between research and clinical and laboratory practice, key components in this scientific area.
