Provide skills relating to the areas of Fixed and Removal Prosthodontics, and Occlusion and Orofacial Pain:

- Be competent (concepts and terminology of the discipline, performing a medical history and a rehabilitation planning, with alternatives and corresponding budgets).

- To provide clinical experience in patients acquired under faculty supervision, particularly in simpler treatments of Fixed Prosthodontics (inlays, crowns and short span bridges, ceramic or metal-ceramic), and which include tooth preparation, provisionals, impressions, intermaxillary relations and articulators, the color choice, trials and cementation; of Removable dentures (partial and full dentures, acrylic and skeletal); of Occlusion.

- Acquire psychomotor skills and aesthetic sensibility.

- Be aware about laboratory procedures used in Fixed and Removable prostheses; Occlusion and Orofacial Pain (occlusal splints).

- Get knowledge about new technologies related to the discipline.

The syllabus is suitable for the defined objectives. In making the care of patients under faculty supervision (scientific areas: Fixed Prosthodontics, Removable and Occlusion and Orofacial Pain prosthesis), the student will raise all your cognitive abilities, technical and affective, and apply their knowledge in an integrated way, particularly as the psychological relationship, the knowledge needed for uni or multidisciplinary planning(different options stimulate the critical study), the field of specific surgical techniques, the choice of materials and techniques, the aesthetic values and color, the relationship with the laboratory technician and the need for support from other disciplines.

These aspects should be well curled and discussed in the clinical case report which has to present, which requires research of scientific information.

Clinical cases treated, or other scientific aspects, can be addressed in scientific articles to accomplish.

Lectures and practical classes (1h week), where it is discussed the most exemplary treatment plans of clinical practice.

Practical classes in the clinic (6h week) to patients and which comprise:

-patient's medical history and clinical examination

-Study of clinical cases (with the teacher, in the class, in the presence of the patient, and in the week following the data collection, without the presence of the patient). The treatment plan, uni or multi-disciplinary, with alternatives and budgets, will be approvedby the teacher and presented to the patient, in a written document. The agreed treatment plan will be, in detail and clinical sessions, approved by the teacher.

-Clinical care of patients (groups of 3 students per box), for rehabilitation with Fixed Prosthodontics (crowns and short span bridges); Removable dentures (partial and full dentures, acrylic and skeletal); Occlusion and Orofacial Pain.

- In less common cases are carried out practical demonstrations by the teacher.

Students - groups of 3 - supervised by a teacher, different in the case of Fixed or Removable Prosthodontics and Occlusion; study of clinical cases; practical demonstrations by the teacher, in patients..
