Pre-clinical Unit 2

Recommended Prerequisites

- Anatomy, Histology and Embryology of the structures of the oral cavity.

- Biology of the oral cavity.

- Microbiology.

- Pathophysiology and Immunology (mechanisms of host inflammation and response).

- Reading, understanding and writing the English language.

Teaching Methods

Lectures: The themes are presented in an interactive mode, highlighting the key points of each topic and presented essentially in iconography, through power-point. The "handouts" will be made available, under "Material" in inforestudante. Students should attend whenever requested, and there will be the opportunity to put questions.

Theoretical-practical classes: represent a more interactive and stimulating environment where there is the opportunity to describe and demonstrate the most basic techniques of clinical procedures wherever possible in simulation models. This is a unique opportunity to train these techniques in pre-clinical setting before starting play in a clinical setting with patients, which takes place in the theoretical and practical lessons of the 2nd half.

Practical classes: Held in a clinic environment, with patients, during the second semester. The course is divided into two classes. Attendance at practical classes is mandatory
