Objectives
- Develop skills and provide knowledge to understand the anatomy and coronal access of multirooted teeth, treatment and retreatment protocols in endodontics, restoration using restorative materials and biomaterials, dental sensitivity, and dental traumatology.
- Train students in the technical execution of cavity preparations and restorative protocols in a preclinical setting within the field of Operative Dentistry.
- Train students in the technical execution of endodontic treatments of multirooted teeth and retreatment of single-rooted teeth, in a preclinical setting within the scope of Endodontics.
- Support the rational selection and use of biomaterials related to conservative dentistry, based on scientific evidence and clinical criteria.
Learning outcomes and competences
- Students are expected to acquire scientific and technical knowledge and skills in the field of conservative dentistry, in accordance with FMDUP protocols.
- Students are expected to be able to perform endodontic treatments (multirooted teeth) and retreatments (single-rooted teeth) according to the state of the art, using extracted human teeth.
- Students should be able to carry out cavity preparations and operative dentistry restorations in a preclinical setting, using different types of restorative materials.
- Students are expected to develop decision-making skills regarding the type of cavity preparation or root canal system approach, as well as the selection of materials and techniques in endodontics and operative dentistry.

Teaching methods and learning activities
The curricular unit is organized into theoretical-practical and practical classes.
The theoretical-practical classes consist of an oral presentation of the program content and practical examples and online complement, with the provision of videos of technical procedures and clinical cases on the Moodle platform indicating the basic bibliography for each topic.
In practical classes, cavity preparations, restorations, manipulation of some biomaterials, endodontic treatment of molar teeth and non-surgical endodontic retratament of single-rooted teeth will be carried out.
