PortugueseObjectives
The course aims to develop skills in the diagnosis, treatment plan and therapeutic approach of the various pathologies that affect the orofacial region, in particular the oral mucous membrane, the alveolar bone, and the salivary glands. Specifically, it is intended to:
- promote the acquisition of knowledge related to the development, structure and function of the different structures of the orofacial region, under physiological and pathological conditions;
- promote the acquisition of knowledge about the pathologies that affect the orofacial region, detailing their etiology and pathogenesis;
- develop clinical skills and competences for clinical examination, analysis of auxiliary diagnostic tests, differential diagnosis and establishment of a definitive diagnosis;
- develop therapeutic intervention skills on the pathologies that affect the orofacial region.
