The objectives of this course are intended to provide students with skills that enable them to specialized training in the context of physics and biomechanics.
Thus, understanding the basic structures of mathematics coupled with the physical through the interdisciplinarity of dentistry, it is central to understanding the functioning of the biomechanics of the procedures used on the day to day of the clinic, in a particular case of the fixed Prosthodontics Removable, Implantology , of Surgery, Dentistry, Periodontology of, of Endodontics and Orthodontics.
It also aims to acquire knowledge to address each case, knowing the most appropriate technical studies, as well as a competent critical analysis in relation to scientific publications on laboratory biomechanical area and also the understanding of scientific texts in which Methods Finite Element Method (FEM) and "Meshless" are used.
They are made available to student’s tools relating to the areas of biomechanics and bioengineering.
Is still transmitted knowledge so that it can evaluate the half-life of the materials used in prosthetic and prosthetic structures.

Aims:

Development of a critical spirit while applying the theoretical knowledge in clinical practice.

Development of appropriate attitudes while handling with patients, colleagues, technicians and dental assistants.

Skills:

Acquisition of knowledge and experience in the diagnosis, treatment and clinical and laboratory procedures related to the treatment of partially and complete edentulous patients with removable dentures

Critical analysis laboratory work.

Observation post-removable dentures placement.

Order and handling emergencies removable prosthesis.

 

The objectives of this course aim to provide skills to students within the following themes:

- The importance of occlusion and temporomandibular joint in dentistry;

- The importance of the muscles of cranio-cervico-mandibular complex in the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial and temporomandibular joint syndromes;

- The relationship between prematurity and occlusal interference with muscles painful to palpation;

- The details of the temporomandibular joint fundamental to the diagnosis and treatment of pain syndromes/temporomandibular dysfunction;

- Mandibular kinematics and the importance of these movements in the etiology, diagnosis and therapy of pain syndromes/temporomandibular dysfunction;

- Understanding the PROTAR System as an aid to diagnosis.

- Perform clinical examinations, collecting biological, psychological and social information needed to evaluate the oral and medical conditions;
- Familiarity with available treatment options in order to formulate an overall integrated plan of management; ­ Be competent in knowledge and judicious way of ranking the diagnostic tests most commonly used in  Implantology and in Prosthodontics;
- Be competent to provide an independent clinical experience in patients, acquired under faculty supervision, particularly in simpler treatments of Fixed Prosthodontics (inlays, crowns and short span bridges, ceramic or metalceramic, on teeth and implant), Removable Dentures (partial and full dentures, acrylic and skeletal, and simple implant overdentures), Occlusion and Orofacial Pain (occlusal splints) and placing implants in simple cases (unit);
- Be aware of pratical laboratory procedures and the new technologies used in Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics, and Occlusion;
- Psychomotor skills and aesthetic sensibility.

The objectives of this course are designed to provide students with skills to enable them to oral rehabilitation with Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics.

Encouraging the study, research and knowledge update on a scientific basis;

Application of knowledge to solve practical problems;

Preparation for the development of scientific work.

Familiarize students with laboratory techniques of dental prosthesis.
Apply New Technologies to laboratory techniques of dental prosthesis, particularly in fixed prosthesis. Skills and learning outcomes:
As a result of learning, students must be competent in understanding the different steps of the laboratory technique for removable partial denture, complete denture and fixed prothesis, and in the application of new technologies to laboratory techniques of dental prosthesis, particularly in the planning and production of surgical guides and radiological implant.

Advanced Statistics Module

The implementation of medical procedures based on scientific evidence is a priority, as well as the realization that the desired effects may result from the influence of many factors. For this reason, it is intended that students acquire skills in implementing and analyzing results based on multivariate statistical methods to combine the influence of the determinants of disease causation. Also, it is intended to acquire skills in obtaining statistical forecasting models with scientific validity, and recognize the fundamental role played by statistical significance and clinical significance in achieving a scientifically valid medical knowledge.

Aims:

Development of a critical spirit while applying the theoretical knowledge in clinical practice.

Development of appropriate attitudes while handling with patients, colleagues, technicians and dental assistants.

Skills:

Acquisition of knowledge and experience in the diagnosis, treatment and clinical and laboratory procedures related to the treatment of partially and complete edentulous patients with removable dentures

Critical analysis laboratory work.

Observation post-removable dentures placement.

Order and handling emergencies removable prosthesis.

- High familiarity with available treatment options in order to formulate an overall integrated plan;
- Ranking the diagnostic tests most commonly used;
- Independent clinical experience in patients under supervision: simple and medium complexity treatments of Fixed Prosthesis (crowns, short and large span bridges, ceramic or metal­ceramic, on teeth and implant), Removable Dentures (partial and full dentures, acrylic and skeletal, and simple and complex implant overdentures) and Occlusion (EMG, TENS, occlusal splints) and placing implants in simple cases (small extension and overdentures bridges);
- Aesthetic sensibility;
Be aware of high pratical laboratory procedures used in fixed: restorations, tooth or implant­supported, with different ceramic systems, removable: prosthesis, including the placement of attachments in implant overdentures;
- Co­ordinate overall treatment and care of patients and appreciate when it is appropriate to refer to a specialist; ­
- Become an effective and efficient leader of a multi professional team.

The objectives of this course are designed to provide students with skills to enable them to oral rehabilitation with Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics.

 

Encouraging the study, research and knowledge update on a scientific basis;

Application of knowledge to solve practical problems;

Preparation for the development of scientific work.

A scientific dissertation, unique and especially made for this purpose, or a professional nature internship final report object, corresponding to 51 ECTS credits of the course.
The curricular unit "Dissertation or Training Report" consists on the realization of an individual work that includes an objective/justification, a thematic development.
The two modalities are subject to presentation and public discussion for the respective evaluation.
It is intended that the student acquires experience in the development of research or review works, know search and correct information, have critical sense and make a self­assessment exercise carried out clinical activity.
According to the theme to be developed by students, they are established specific objectives by the respective supervisors.
