Objectives

Integration of the dentist in the multidisciplinary team that treats the individual genetically compromised. Provide diagnostic capacity and disease prevention to the dentist in order to identify individuals at risk.

Learning outcomes and competences

Administer skills to future dentists to acquire capabilities:

- Identify signs of orofacial and craniofacial genetics and hereditary disease.

- Request genetic testing to their patients.

- Interpret the results of genetic tests prescribed to their patients and be able to understand their clinical implications.

- Identifying individuals at risk and conduct the proper referral of patients.

Working method

Presencial

Program

1.Historical evolution and introduction to orofacial genetics. The face and genetic disorders.
The genetic pathology, mutations and polymorphisms. Review the concepts of gene loci and chromosomes.
Detailed examination of the face. Importance of measurement and standards for proper evaluation of the most relevant. Description and recognition of anomalies that can be observed in craniofacial structures. Facial measurements more relevant. Systematic approach to the observation of birth defects and / or genetic.

Eligibility for exams

Is effective the regulations for obtaining frequency FMDUP.

Calculation formula of final grade

Theoretical Evaluation (T)
It is made through an examination consisting of multiple choice questions with five or more points. The student points out all the points with V or F. Each point marked wrongly discounts 1/2 of the value of a correct one. This examination will be priced 0 to 20 values.

Evaluation Theory and Practice (TP)
Assigned by the teacher in charge according to the evaluation of work undertaken by the student (written work + oral + continuous assessment). The course grade is 0 to 20.

Endnote
The note is obtained using the following formula:
Theoretical evaluation (45%) + Theory-Practice Evaluation (45%) + Attendance (10%)

The final grade is assessed according to the rules prevailing in the general FMDUP
assessment.

Approval for the curricular unit is effected with a minimum score of 9 values in the theoretical evaluation and with a minimum score of 9 values in evaluation theory-practice.

Admission to the final exam or the appeal is only possible after the completion of a theoretical and practical component.

Defence and proofreading

After completion of each test theoretical-practical and theoretical, will be available the final grade achieved by each student. Students wishing to contest the exam should do so on the date and time indicated by the faculty.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Students whose status allows the system frequency and / or special assessment may request additional assessment.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Students whose status permits the system of special assessment may request an assessment outside the normal schedule, and safeguarded the assessment components.

Classification improvement

To achieve a grade improvement is mandatory to perform an exam with the disciplines T and TP components, keeping the same evaluation criteria applied at the time of appeal.
