Training objectives
- The objectives of this teaching block are:
-corrected use of the bibliographical (on line and paper) sources (with attention to Conservative Dentistry)
-nomenclature, classification, morphology and dental structure normal and/or affected by caries lesion
-eziology and pathophysiology of dental caries
-clinical and instrumental parameters of diagnostic interest towards dental caries
-materials and tools characteristics useful for direct techniques restauration of frontal and molar teeth in the respect of gingival adjacent structures
-epidemiological and individual strategies of caries prevention.
The student after lessons will have to demonstrate knowledge and ability to understanding considering specific topics:
-dental anatomy and morphology, both norm and pathological
-dental anatomical modeling and correct handling of materials helpful for restoration
-classification criteria for hard tissue lesions, both bacterial and not
-cavity classification criteria for composite restorations
-acknowledgment of clinical and instrumental parameters of diagnostic interest towards dental caries, for the formulation of a corrected diagnosis and treatment plan for caries lesion
-caries risk assessment
-caries prevention. Prerequisites
- Students should have adequate knowledge on oral anatomy and histology, oral microbiology and immunology, oral pathology, pharmacology emergency therapy and informatics.
