Objectives

Taking into account the curricular proposal presented in 1993 by the American Association of Dental Schools, national and community regulations, including the recommendations for implementation of the Bologna Process, we defined as pedagogical objectives of the Curricular Unit of Dental Prosthesis and Occlusion I of the PhD in Dental Medicine :
- To be competent in the knowledge of the evolution of Dental Prosthesis and Occlusion up to the present day, its object of study and research, and its interrelation with other sciences important for the training of dentists.
- To be competent in characterizing the problems associated with dental mortality and the need for prosthetic replacement, including its magnitude and epidemiological dimension.
- Be competent in the concepts and terminologies inherent to the discipline, using an appropriate scientific language.
- Be aware of the emotional and psychological effects on the patient and his family, as well as the social and economic repercussions of clinical decisions.
- Be competent in establishing effective communication with the patient, as well as colleagues and other team members if health.
- Be competent to perform a correct clinical interview and a thorough physical examination, developing a system of observation and analysis, in order to know how to refer and evaluate the degree and severity of general signs and symptoms evident and subtle, In the pathophysiological and clinical aspects.
- To be competent in the deep knowledge and in the way of hierarchizing in a judicious way the complementary diagnostic tests used in Prosthodontics and Occlusion.
- To be competent in the acquisition of solid scientific knowledge, which will allow not only a theoretical support for its clinical application, but also the realization of complex and complete rehabilitation planning.
- To be familiar with the laboratory procedures used for the preparation of unitary and bridge restorations, dento or implant-supported, removable prostheses, overdentures on teeth and implants, and occlusal drips.
- Be aware of new technologies related to Prosthodontics.
- Be competent in the development of psychomotor skills and aesthetic sensibility.
- To be competent to solve, in clinical practice, in an autonomous way, simple or complex situations, such as unitary restorations and bridges, dento or implant-supported, removable prostheses, overdentures on teeth and implants, and occlusal gutters.
- be competent to recognize treatments that exceed their capabilities and, in such situations, refer the patient to the appropriate professional.
- Be competent to work in group and multidisciplinary.
- Be competent in carrying out scientific research and in the use of scientific information in a critical manner.
- Be familiar with the notions about the validity of knowledge and the need for continuous training (updating, improving and deepening) articulated with the professional activity.
- Be competent in the development of the capacity for self-learning.
- Be familiar with the notions of social responsibility of the profession

	Trabalho escrito		50,00
	Teste		50,00
	Total:	-	100,00

Eligibility for exams

Presence in at least 75% of classes.

Calculation formula of final grade

A - The final grade is calculated taking into account the following parameters:
1. Attendance and punctuality - 10%
2. Two theoretical tests (continuous assessment) - 90%

B - Final grade equal to or greater than 17 points must be defended in oral examination.
If the student does not attend the oral exam, he / she will have the final grade of 16 values
The oral test never leads to a classification lower than 16 values.

Examinations or Special Assignments

Without obligation, the students will be able to carry out a research or revision work, which can be taken into account in the distributed evaluation

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Theoretical test and oral exam
