1. EXAMINATION AND DIAGNOSIS;
2. DEVELOPMENT OF TREATMENT STRATEGIES AND PLANS IN PROSTHODONTIC;
3. FIXED PROSTHODONTICS (single fixed restorations and small and medium span bridges);
4. REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS (classic and implant overdentures).

Learning outcomes and competences

1. Examination and Diagnosis: Carry out a thorough and appropriate assessment and examination of the patient, their dental, pulpal, periradicular, periodontal, oral and peri-oral tissues in relation to the presenting complaints of the patient, arriving at an appropriate diagnosis of the condition from the information provided and examination and investigations undertaken; Clearly appreciate the conditions confounding diagnosis of prosthodontic problems.


2. Development of treatment strategies and plans in prosthodontics: Devise strategies and plans based on the likely prognosis and outcomes of the various treatment options, relating this to prognosis without treatment and establishing a resultant priority and sequence of treatment while considering the relevant ethical and fiscal issues. Develop a treatment strategy in conjunction with the patient producing a plan or plans according to their needs and preferences, including future need for further corrective or supportive therapy.


3. Fixed Prosthodontics: Plan and provide all types of fixed dental prostheses for appropriate clinical circumstances; Understand and use the appropriate techniques, materials and technologies available for all types of fixed dental prostheses; Understand the laboratory requirements for restorations and show effective communication with laboratory technicians; provide treatment plans for primary care practitioners in relation to provision of fixed prosthodontic treatment; Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of fixed prosthodontic treatment.


4. Removable Prosthodontics: Plan and provide dentures with the appropriate clinical and technical procedures. Understand the materials and technologies available for all types of removable dental prostheses. Understand the laboratory requirements for restorations and show effective communication with laboratory technicians. Undertake procedures to necessary to extend lifespan of the prostheses. Provide treatment plans for primary care practitioners in relation to provision of removable prosthodontic treatment.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching are spread over theoretical and theoretical-practical classes, using audiovisual means and practical demonstrations (implant systems, ceramic veneers, indirect restorations, emergence profile, attachments in removable dentures).

Some classes are taught by guest professors from other universities and industry.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation without final exam

Eligibility for exams

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

Calculation formula of final grade

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:

1. Written test - 70%

The absence from the testing, or grade below 9.5 points implies the failure in the continuous assessment. The student can make final exam (normal time and / or resource season).

2. Scientific work (Revision or research project for written work) or lecture in power-point (15 minutes) – 25%
3. Attendance - 5%
