Teaching language
PortugueseObjectives
Enable students to perform the dental care to patients with specific needs (with hereditary genetic and / or hereditary pathology, pregnant womens, babies, puerperal patients, oncologic patients under chemotherapeutic and / or radiotherapeutic treatment).
Manage skills to students (future Dentists) to acquire capabilities of:
Request genetic tests to their patients, read the results of genetic tests prescribed to their patients and understand their clinical implications, identify individuals at risk and conduct in to a proper referral, integrate the future dentists in the multidisciplinary team that treats the genetically compromised individual.
Learning outcomes and competences
The integrated and progressive approach of the program will allow students to acquire general knowledge and skills set out in the objectives, ensuring consistency between the syllabus. Strategies will be implemented to ensure that assimilation of concepts was achieved after exposure of the contents. To guarantee that students make rational and informed decision, they will be faced with clinical cases (presented in person or in video) and discussed the options for each of them. With presentation and discussion of the contents of this cases is intended to emphasize the formulation of questions, the analysis of results and resolution of real clinical situations.The student/future dentist should identify orofacial /craniofacial signs of genetic and hereditary pathology in specific patients. Shoull also identify individuals at risk and how correctly forward them, request genetic test and understand the clinical results and implications.
Working method
PresencialPre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)
The acquisition of the desired knowledge, which allows the student to acquire the ability to: identify orofacial and craniofacial signs of genetic and hereditary pathology in the majority of the population and provide care to specific patients in specific patients (pregnant women, babies, puerperal women, cancer patients) ; to request genetic tests from their patients; to interpret the results of the genetic tests prescribed to their patients and to be able to identify individuals at risk and proceed with the correct referral of these patients; it is based on the previous acquisition of previous knowledge in the field of medical genetics, as well as on its integration with the clinical practice recently started.
Program
Introduction to orofacial genetics. The face and genetic disorders. Systematic approach to the observation of birth defects and/or genetic. Specific patients query - Baby, pregnant and postpartum women, cancer patients. Extraoral / intraoral examination. Treatment protocols and new therapeutic approaches - LLLT. Extraoral/ intraoral examination. Treatment protocol. Syndromes with craniofacial expression and particular interest to the dentist. Genetic and / or hereditary pathologies with orofacial manifestations (gastrointestinal, dental, gingival, tongue pathology). Saliva and microfluids - Genetic tests. Cancer - genetic susceptibility. Susceptibility to dental caries. Susceptibility to pathology in orthodontics. Susceptibility to prosthetic pathology. Genetic tests for periodontal and peri-implant pathology. Updates in Genetics - applications to Dentistry.

Teaching methods and learning activities
Theoretical and practical learning.
Theoretical classes works to acquire, summarize and integrate new knowledge. The exhibition is performed using the appropriate software presentations (PPT®/Prezi®) and thematic videos. The practical classes aim knowledge acquisition about the modus operandi of dental queries in specific patients in a clinical setting. Are also presented videos of Orofacial Genetics queries, performed at the FMDUP Clinic, alluding to clinical cases that are or have completed a multidisciplinary intervention. At the same time students group work will be developed, subject to the newer topics Orofacial Genetics, under tutorial support.

Eligibility for exams
Force the rules for obtaining frequency FMDUP.
The frequency acquisition to the Curricular Unit is only possible after accomplishment of the evaluation of the two components (T and P).
Approval for the Curricular Unit is only possible with a minimum grade end of 9.5, with a mandatory minimum score of 9 values for each of the components T and P.
Approval for the Curricular Unit is only possible with a minimum grade end of 9.5, with a mandatory minimum score of 9 values for each of the components T and P.
Calculation formula of final grade
Theoretical Evaluation (T)
It is made through an examination consisting of multiple choice questions with five or more points. The student points out all the points with V or F. Each point marked wrongly discounts 1/2 of the value of a correct one. This examination will be priced 0 to 20 values.
Practice Evaluation (P)
Assigned by the teacher in charge according to the evaluation of work undertaken by the student (written work in poster format + oral presentation + continuous assessment). The course grade is 0 to 20.
Endnote
The note is obtained using the following formula:
theoretical evaluation (A)(written final exam) and practical evaluation (B) (continuous assessment – B1, written group work and /or oral presentation – B2)
Valuation form:A [50%]+ B[50%(25%B1 + 25%B2)].
Approval for the curricular unit is effected with a minimum score of 9,5 values, in the theoretical evaluation and in practical evaluation with a minimum score of 9 values.
Admission to the final exam or the appeal is only possible after the completion of a theoretical and practical component.

Admission to the final exam or the appeal is only possible after the completion of a theoretical and practical component.
Examinations or Special Assignments
Students whose status allows the system frequency and / or special assessment may request additional assessment.Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
Students whose status permits the system of special assessment may request an assessment outside the normal schedule, and safeguarded the assessment components.
Classification improvement
To achieve a grade improvement is mandatory to perform an exam with the disciplines T and P components, keeping the same evaluation criteria applied at the time of appeal.
