PortugueseObjectives
- Skills in knowledge of the basic sciences necessary for current Dentistry, in general and Periodontology, in particular;
- Skills in knowledge of the various clinical areas of Periodontology;
- Skills in the knowledge of clinical aspects related to Periodontology in a broader context of clinical dentistry and public health, including clinical epidemiology and dentistry based on scientific evidence;
- Skills in knowledge of relevant aspects for the specialty of Periodontology and Oral Implantology, medicine and clinical surgery. This point aims for the student to be competent to understand all the possible interactions between oral and systemic diseases and thus, be able to treat medically compromised patients who need periodontal treatment;
- Skills in understanding the ethical and social issues that affect dentistry and its legal implications as a dentist and specifically related to Periodontology;
- Skills in performing non-surgical procedures and some surgical procedures necessary for the treatment of periodontal patients.
