PortugueseObjectives
Teaching on Pharmacology and Therapeutics II aims to develop, within the students, (i) competencies on drug prescription and (ii) therapeutic approaches in clinical relevant situations of the dental practice, namely regarding the management of pain and inflammation, infection, anxiety and hemostasis - in both physiological and compromised medical conditions.
Learning outcomes and competences
The course is organized in thematic sections, which embrace the major groups of the therapeutic drug intervention, within the dental practice. Having a fundamental base on the acquired knowledge on previous courses (Pharmacology and Therapeutics I), the present course focus on the prescription practices, in the presence and absence of local and/or systemic pathologies.

Teaching methods and learning activities
The course is organized in theoretical (T) and theoretical-practical (TP) lectures. T lectures are set on the introduction of drug prescribing concepts, through a global approach of the subject. In TP lectures, the students solve a worksheet, with clinical case scenarios, that aim to develop and mature the prescribing competencies, and the critical evaluation of the clinical thought. In this course, the evaluation includes the scoring of the group worksheets and also a final exam.
