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

- Endodontic treatment and deep coronal restorations follow-up protocol in patients

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.

Working method

Teaching methods and learning activities

The students will mostly have clinical classes, with patients and a face-to-face period of theoretical classes where clinical topics will be addressed, case discussions, systemic prescription guidelines, clinical practice protocols. At the clinic, students work tutored by teachers, where formative feedback will be given. All clinical works must be subject of reports.

Eligibility for exams

According to the General Regulation for the Assessment of Students of the University of Porto


TP component

Attendance of 75% of contact hours for theoretical classes


Component P

Attendance of 75% of the contact hours of pratical classes*



 

Calculation formula of final grade

Operative Dentistry:
 
Continuous evaluation with the following weighting factors:
1 - Theoretical Test - 30%

2 - Practical Component* + Report** - 70% (60% continuous practical assessment + 10% selected report)

 
*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% (reports: 60% + 10% continuous practical assessment)

 
 
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)

Theoretical and practical components must be positive (≥ 9.5 points each).

Examinations or Special Assignments

Internship work/project

Not applicable

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Not applicable

Classification improvement

Only from the theoretical part
 
Theoretical final written exam in the period of evaluations of the "Recurso" period (all subjects included)
 
No practice (assessment is continuous). Theoretical exam only.

Observations

There will be the possibility of "Recurso", within the stipulated period, only for students who do not reach the final classification of 10 and have at least 75% attendance in practical classes
