Acquisition of scientific and technique skills by the students that will enable them for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of hard tissues of teeth, including the development and adoption of measures for the prevention of pulpal and periapical diseases, pulpal and periapical diagnosis, as well as for the development of treatment plans. Students should be able to technically perform the restorative treatments in a pre-clinical environment of the area of Restorative Dentistry and Endodontic tretments, selecting and rationally using biomaterials related to these two areas of dentistry. Students should be able to learn to share with patients the diagnosis and prognosis of their problems in the field of Conservative Dentistry, proposing treatment plans and treating the simpler cases with success.
