Objectives

- Introduction to clinical activity in Conservative Dentistry, through an appropriate selection of cases.

 - Carrying out clinical acts that include the diagnosis of pulp and periapical lesions

- Presentation of therapeutic options, focused on resolving the patient's main complaint.

 - Assessment of the difficulty of treatment from the point of view of conservative dentistry

- Permanent restoration of low complexity, provisional and pre-endodontic restoration, in anterior and posterior teeth.

-Performance of low complexity endodontic treatments

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of the semester students should know:

- Diagnose pulp and periapical lesions

- Diagnose caries lesions

- Propose the various therapeutic alternatives, 
informing the patient about the prognosis of each one;

- Assess the difficulty of endodontic treatment and 
restorative options

- Carry out conservative pulp treatmens, urgent clinical cases  and simple difficulty endodontic and restorative treatments

- Perform adequate control / follow-up of clinical cases 


- Guidelines of systemic drug prescription
They should also be able to communicate, systematize and substantiate their clinical cases, as well as their therapeutic options.

Eligibility for exams

Calculation formula of final grade

Operative Dentistry:
 
Continuous evaluation with the following weighting factors:
1 - Theoretical Test - 30%
2 - Practical Component* + Report** - 70%
 
*Assessment of the ability to collect clinical history, diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment execution, communication with the patient
**Report will count 10% towards the practical grade
 
Endodontics:
 
Continuous evaluation with the following weighting factors:
 
1 - Theoretical Test - 30%
2 - Practical Component + Reports - 70%
 
 
Composition of the final Classification in CMDC-I
 
      Evaluation of components in Dentistry - 50%:
 
    
      Evaluation of components in Endodontics - 50%:
 
          
 
The final classification is the arithmetic mean of endodontics and dentistry considering the previously mentioned weighting factors. Each of the components must be positive (≥ 9.5 values)

Examinations or Special Assignments

In exceptional situations, when the practical work carried out by the student is not sufficient for evaluation:
 
Professors can request a written work on a topic to be defined or an extra clinical or pre-clinical work

Internship work/project

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
