Objectives

The course of Oral Biosciences II aims the development of translational competencies, by the students, of concepts and reflexive mechanisms of Biomedical Sciences, for the practical application within the clinical frame  of Dental Medicine Sciences. As so, it is expected that the student, with the completation of this course, is able to:

• Apply concepts of immunology, bacteriology, virology and mycology to oral disease;
• Explain the biology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of pulpal, periapical and hard tissue-related pathologies;
• Analyze the etiology of pulp pathology and determine factors, which influence its distribution, onset, progress and detection;
• Identify the normal structures of the periodontum and analyze the etiology of periodontal disease, reporting on the histopathological alterations, the activation of the host response and propose solutions to periodontal problems;
• Describe the process and development of dental caries and the pathologic alterations of the affected oral tissues, conceiving therapeutic solutions for the its resolution;

 Correlate the physiologic equilibrium of the oral microenvironment with the health status and identify causes for the unbalanced equilibrium that contribute to disease establishment and development.

Learning outcomes and competences

The syllabus arise in an evolutionary approach, being described the contents associated with the physiological conditions and structures, from witch the spectrum is enlarged to the knowledge of the establishment and development of pathological conditions of the oral-facial region. It is aimed the sedimentation of concepts and previous learned contents, as well as its practical translation into the dental medicine domain, centered in clinical relevant facts and in an evidence-based approach.

• Autologous response to pathogenic microorganisms of the oral milieu and subsequent pathologic alterations;


• Periodontal tissues organization, structure and functionality.


• Clinical and histopathologic features of periodontal diseases.


• Pulpar tissues organization, structure and functionality.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The course will be taught in theoretical and practical classes.Theoretical classes will be used to introduce new concepts and thematics; practical classes will allow the development of these concepts and thematics in a participative expository form. Students will be devided in small groups, and PBL – problem-based leatning methodologies will be applied, with clinical translation, aiming to the sedimentaiton of new concepts and develop reasoning based on the topics previously presented.
