Objectives

Teaching on Pharmacology and Therapeutics II aims to develop, within the students, (i) competencies on drug prescription and (ii) therapeutic approaches in clinical relevant situations of the dental practice, namely regarding the management of pain and inflammation, infection, anxiety and hemostasis - in both physiological and compromised medical conditions.

Learning outcomes and competences

The course is organized in thematic sections, which embrace the major groups of the therapeutic drug intervention, within the dental practice. Having a fundamental base on the acquired knowledge on previous courses (Pharmacology and Therapeutics I), the present course focus on the prescription practices, in the presence and absence of local and/or systemic pathologies.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The course is organized in theoretical (T) and theoretical-practical (TP) lectures. T lectures are set on the introduction of drug prescribing concepts, through a global approach of the subject. In TP lectures, the students solve a worksheet, with clinical case scenarios, that aim to develop and mature the prescribing competencies, and the critical evaluation of the clinical thought. In this course, the evaluation includes the scoring of the group worksheets and also a final exam.

Eligibility for exams

According to the established by the Pedagogical Council of FMDUP.

To meet the following requirements of the continuous evaluation:

- Presentation, resolution and discussion of 90% of the case-problems/clinical cases during P lectures

Calculation formula of final grade

The evaluation focuses on the integration of knowledge and decision-making. The final classification includes the components of continuous assessment and the final examination.

A. Continuous evaluation – 30% (0 to 6, out of 20) 
a. Presentation, resolution, and discussion of case problems/clinical cases during P lectures: 10%;
b. Presentation of an issue related to the syllabus, in a TP lecture: 10%;
c. Test focusing on an integrative clinical case, at the end of the semester: 10%).

B. Final examination: 70% (0 to 14, out of 20) 

Minimal classification for each component corresponds to 45% of the ponderation. 

Final classification: A + B

Minimal classification for approval: 10
