Objectives

FIXED PROSTHDODONTICS MODULE 

Understanding of concepts, terminology and the treatment sequencing in basic clinical cases of fixed rehabilitation.

Demonstrate understanding of the laboratory procedures, materials and new technologies for manufacturing inlays, crowns and short-span bridges.

REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS MODULE 

To acquire knowledge and competencies for the rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients with removable dentures.

To understand the laboratory techniques for production of skeletal prosthesis.

OCCLUSION MODULE 

Acquire knowledge and skills for the correct diagnosis of
patients with temporomandibular disorders, sleep 
disorders and/or bruxism. Acquire knowledge and skills
for the correct preparation of a clinical examination in
patients with bruxism and/or temporomandibular disorders.
Understand the laboratory techniques involved in 
recording with a face bow and assembling models on a 
semi-adjustable articulator, as well as fundamental 
concepts of clinical occlusion.

MATERIALS MODULE 

Students should develop skills to manipulate materials used in rehabilitation treatments.

Learning outcomes and competences

The syllabus meets the objectives defined for each module.

In Fixed Prosthodontics, after acquiring theoretical 
knowledge in seminars and practical demonstrations, 
students are able to understand the stages of fixed 
rehabilitation in simple cases, and their possible 
variations.
Fixed prosthetic options; General principles of crowns
and bridges, on teeth/implants; Tooth preparation – 
posterior ceramic crowns; provisional restorations –
pre-press technique.

Students must also be competent in planning and designing
a removable partial denture. 
Classification of partially edentulous arches. PPR 
biomechanics. Components and principles of PPR design.
Analysis of parallelometer models. Individual trays. 
Laboratory technique for skeletal prosthesis.

The Occlusion and Orofacial Pain content allows the 
student to acquire the ability to diagnose pathologies.
Anatomophysiology of the CCCM; Temporomandibular Joint; 
Occlusal pathophysiology; Intermaxillary relations; 
mandibular kinematics; bruxism and obstructive sleep 
apnea syndrome; temporomandibular disorders: etiology and
diagnosis; semi-adjustable articulator assembly protocol.

Knowledge of the characteristics and indications of
biomedical materials is the recommended way to train 
the student in their use and handling. 
Materials used in prosthodontics and occlusion, namely:
plasters, alginates and silicones.

Eligibility for exams

Terms of frequency: Minimum attendance of 75% in P and PT classes.  Presentation of works as requested by professors.

Presentation of the work requested by the teacher 
(minimum precondition for distributed assessment and 
access to the final exam).

ATTENDANCE:

PRATICAL and PT CLASSES

- Registration by the teacher
and/or computer system. PRE-CLINICAL PRACTICAL CLASSES - In each class, each 
student must sign the attendance sheet or the teacher 
marks it on the attendance sheet. According to Regulation no. 40/2022 - Amendments to the 
Regulation of the Student Worker Statute of the 
University of Porto, namely in its Article 8.º no. 2 - 
“Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph b) of 
the previous paragraph, the student worker is not 
exempt from carrying out assessment acts, including 
distributed assessment, which are a minimum precondition 
for access to the final exam, if one exists and in 
accordance with what is established in the respective 
curricular unit form”.

Calculation formula of final grade

Final classification:

A- Calculated by the weighted average of the 
classifications of each of the 4 scientific-pedagogical 
modules (PRem- 21.5%; PFixa- 28.5%; Occlusion- 35.5%; 
Materials- 14.5%) - Insufficient classification (less than 9.50 points) for
2 or more scientific-pedagogical modules in the 
continuous assessment implies failure in the UC. - An insufficient classification (equal to or greater 
than 8.00 points) for 1 of the scientific-pedagogical 
modules in the continuous assessment allows approval of 
the UC with an overall final grade of 10 points. - The Appeal exam in the same semester may include all 
modules or only modules with insufficient classification.

B- Classification ≥17 in each scientific-pedagogical 
module requires an oral exam (or increases to 16 in that 
module).

C- If voluntary scientific work is carried out, in groups
of 1 to 3 students, your classification may count on a 
weighting of 10% in this scientific-pedagogical module 
(the remaining 90% is the final grade for the module).

The teachers responsible for each scientific-pedagogical 
module present their final grade proposal to the UC 
Regent.

The partial assessment standards differ for different 
modules:

FIXED PROSTHODONTICS
1 - Among all FIXED PROSTHODONTICS work carried out in 
pre-clinical practical classes, 1 of each type must be 
identified (student name, curricular unit, tooth and 
date) and delivered to the responsible teachers 
(Professors César Leal Silva and Inês Côrte-Real) 
(pre -minimum condition for distributed assessment and 
access to the final exam).
2 - A practical assessment test will be carried out, with a 
weighting of 50%, with a minimum grade of 9.5.
An in-person theoretical test will be carried out, with a
weighting of 50%, with a minimum grade of 9.5. 
(Joint evaluation of the curricular content taught on 
Tuesdays, in Prosthodontics, and on Wednesdays, in Fixed 
Prosthodontics).
3 - Classifications lower than those referred to in points 
b and c imply failure in the continuous assessment. The 
student must take the final exam (recourse period).

REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS
1 . The work and report for practical assessment of 
REMOVABLE PROSTHODONTICS must be delivered at the end of
the last class for each work, duly identified and 
packaged – 50% weighting, with a minimum score of 8 points in each test
and an average of no less than 10 points. (minimum 
precondition for distributed assessment and access to the
final exam).
2 . An in-person theoretical test will be carried out - 
50% weighting, with a minimum grade of 9.5. (Joint 
evaluation of the curricular content taught on Tuesdays, 
in Prosthodontics, and on Wednesdays, in Removable 
Prosthodontics).
Classifications lower than those referred to in points a
and b imply failure in the continuous assessment. The 
student must take the final exam (recourse period).

OCCLUSION
1 - An in-person written theoretical test will be carried out
- 70% weighting with a minimum grade of 9.5.
2 - Average of practical class reports - 30% weighting with a 
minimum grade of 9.5.
3 - Classification lower than that referred to in points a 
and b implies failure in the continuous assessment 
(Distributed assessment without final exam). The student 
must take the final exam (recourse period).

MATERIALS
1 - An in-person theoretical test will be carried out - with
a minimum grade of 9.5.
2 - Classification lower than that referred to in point a 
implies failure in the continuous assessment. The student
must take the final exam (recourse period).
