Objectives
It is intended that students apply and consolidate the knowledge acquired in the previous units of conservative dental medicine, establishing diagnoses and treatment plans that coordinate treatments of operative dentistry and endodontics, with added complexity. They should be able to diagnose pulp and periapical injuries, identify traumatic injuries and propose the most appropriate treatments (endodontics and restoratives) in each specific clinical situation. Whenever possible, execute and complete the proposed treatment plan, applying the most appropriate materials and techniques.
Learning outcomes and competences
The programmatic content enables the fulfillment of the given goals that allow the clinical practice of prevention, diagnosis, treatment plan and treatment on patients with dental caries and other diseases affecting the hard tissues of the tooth as well as with clinical cases of traumatology, dental sensitivity and color changes and endodontic treatment. Learn to share with patients the diagnosis and prognosis of the problems of Operative Dentistry and Endodontology and acquire the capacity to diagnose, make decisions and plan in order to propose treatment plans for their resolution.

Teaching methods and learning activities
Classes TP:
Dentistry- stratification of composite resins in anterior teeth by the Lorenzo Vanini technique
Endodontics- mechanized endodontics and thermoplastic filling
Classes P:
Patient care at the clinic, where dentistry and endodontic treatments are performed.
Students will form groups of two units (operator + assistant, alternately), being in solidarity in clinical work and evaluated according to this principle. The operator must perform all the actions provided for in the clinical protocols (from clinical history to the completion of treatment). The assistant must exercise the role of dental assistant, preparing all the material necessary for the clinical act and helping the colleague, so that the same act can be considered to have been carried out by “four hands”.

Calculation formula of final grade
Distributed evaluation without final exam.
Continuous assessement with the following weight factors:
1- Component TP-30%
2- Component P-70%
1- Composition of evaluation TP
Written assessment of the syllabus covered in TP classes.
1-Evaluation of component P in Dentistry-50%:
Evaluation about student diagnosis capacity, planning treatment,treatment execution,comunication with pacient.
Duly completed forms must be shown to teachers who are following the clinical cases.
It is mandatory to deliver a report of the best work carried out by the student (the student chooses) - submit it on Moodle.
Note on the clinical case report carried out, weight with the assessment of performance during patient care.
2-Avaliation of componernt P in Endodontic 50%:
Evaluation of reports of clinical cases performed, weighted with the assessment of performance during patient care.
It is mandatory to submit at least 1 endodontic work report.
Final classification is the sum of endodontics and dentistry considering supra nominated weight factors
Examinations or Special Assignments
In exceptional situations, when the practical work done by the student is not sufficient for evaluation, teachers can request a written assignment on a topic to be defined or an extra clinical or preclinical work.
Internship work/project
Not applicable.
Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Not applicable.
Classification improvement
Evaluation of a clinical case in Dentistry or in Endodontics and the respective report.
