Orthodontics I

Theoretical classes: addressed the topics contained in the program plan based on the most current scientific evidence, resorting fundamentally to expository presentations, although complemented with clinical cases (pictures/videos) whenever considered appropriate.

Practical and TP Classes:

a) Execution and trimming of orthodontic study cast models, fabrication of a removable appliance and elaboration and presentation of an orthodontic medical history.

b) Analysis of cast models, cephalometric analysis and hand rx analysis, essential to the elaboration of an orthodontic medical history

Learning Outcomes

Pediatric Dentistry I

Acquiring, combining and interpreting theoretical fundamentals aiming specific clinical applications:

1) Being able to properly elaborate a clinical history and treatment plan;

2) Demonstrate knowledge that enables the diagnose of the most prevalent oral diseases in children;

3) Dominate, theoretically, the main behaviour management, preventive, restorative, of pulpal approach and surgical techniques in children in different dentition stages.

Orthod I

Providing theoretical and practical foundations necessary to the orthodontic clin practice, enabling them, as future generalist dentists, to identify, diagnose and treat orthodontic problems using removable and functional appliances

1. To know the essential theoretical basis of craniofacial growth, dentition development, etiology and diagnosis of occlusal and skeletal problems

2. To know how to use and work with the diagnostic tools essential to the elaboration of an orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
