Objectives

The objectives of this course are designed to provide students with skills to enable them to study and understand the aspects involved in oral rehabilitation, namely those relating to the areas of Fixed Prosthodontics (high complexity treatments on teeth and implant), of Removable Prosthodontics (classic and high complexity overdentures on implants), and Occlusion and Orofacial Pain (occlusal splints, bruxism, obstructive sleep apnea), under faculty supervision.

Learning outcomes and competences

-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: high complexity treatments of Fixed Prosthodontics (veneers, crowns, large span bridges, including changing of the vertical dimension, and treatment of excessive tooth loss by bruxism/anorexia); Removable dentures (high complex implant overdentures, including direct placement of attachments); Occlusion (occlusal splints, bruxism, obstructive sleep apnea).

-High pratical laboratory procedures used in fixed restorations with different ceramic systems; Removable prosthesis, including the placement of attachments

-High aesthetic sensibility

-Co-ordinate overall treatments and become a leader of a multi professional team

-Skills to critically analyze published data from clinical and laboratory studies and propose changes in clinical practice of the course.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Practical classes to patients:

- Study of high complexity clinical cases and correspondent treatment plan

- Clinical care of patients (2 students per box), for Fixed Prosthodontics (veneers, crowns, large span bridges, including changing the vertical dimension and oral rehabilitation treatment of excessive tooth loss by bruxism or anorexia); Removable dentures (partial and full dentures, and high complex implant overdentures, including aesthetics and DV changing, and direct placement of attachments in implant overdentures); Occlusion (EMG, TENS, occlusal splints, bruxism, obstructive sleep apnea).

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

- Once a month are presented and discussed by all students the most exemplary treatment plans of their clinical practice, as well as critical analysis of oral rehabilitation undertaken in the previous two semesters.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The programmatic content fits to the defined objectives. Making the consultation under faculty supervision the student will investigate all cognitive, technical and affective abilities, and apply their knowledge in an integrated way, regarding the psychological relationship, to current knowledge needed to uni or multidisciplinary planning, the field of specific surgical techniques, the choice of materials and techniques, the aesthetic aspects and the color choice, the relationship with dental technician and the need for support from other disciplines.

The monthly group discussions are used to facilitate the development of independent decision-making in the diagnosis, planning and execution of the treatment, and integration with theoretical knowledge.

These aspects should be treated in mandatorybpatient report which requires research and use of scientific information critically.

Clinical cases treated can still be addressed in scientific articles that can be performed in others UCs.

Eligibility for exams

Attendance of at least 75% of the lessons.

Calculation formula of final grade

Students work at the clinic in groups of two per box, under faculty supervision. Type of evaluation: Distributed evaluation without final exam.

Terms of frequency: Attendance of at least 75% of the lessons.

The final grade is calculated taking into account the following parameters:

- Evaluation of clinical practice, taking into account the attendance and punctuality, familiarity with the procedure, the quality and quantity of teaching support needed, the level of clinical procedure, the correct evaluation of the clinical outcome and the use of the clinical protocol to ensure security patient 70%

- Evaluation of reports of patients 15%

- Evaluation of participation on monthly sessions of clinical cases debate 15%

The final exam in the recourse, improvement and extraordinary season include a written test, a preclinical practical and an oral examination.
