FRANCESCO MARAMPON

Students that attend and pass the tests of the Courses of Legal Medicine, Radiation Protection, Hygiene, and Occupational Safety are totally autonomous and able to build ideal environment and working capacity, where their personal legal and medical problems due to practice, and the problems of their staff, patients and patients’ tutors are adequately contained.

These students will be able to produce a virtuous circle that will minimize the stress due to these problems.

Speaking, reading, and listening Italian

Emergent infectious diseases could be also discussed in the event that the risk for their transmission in the dental health care setting is high or that they are pandemic.



Occupational Safety

Epidemiology and Prevention of the most important occupational diseases to the dental staff in general and the dental hygienist in particular. More specifically, infectious diseases that are the main occupational risk to the dental hygienists.

Forensic Medicine

To prepare for the examination, students are advised to begin studying the theoretical material at the start of the course. The following books are recommended for reference and further study:

Di Luca N.M., Feola T., Marinelli E., Ricci S. Nuovo Compendio di Medicina Legale. Edizioni Minerva Medica, Turin, 2021.

Various authors. Medicina Legale. Per studenti e medici di medicina generale. Ed. Idelson-Gnocchi, 2020.

In-presence lectures are usually given by all the Professors. Online lectures also are considered, that are often requested by students through the anonymous OPIS questionnaire. More specifically, online lectures for all the attending students are necessary in peculiar situations like, for example, lockdown, general and transportation strikes, protests with protesters who do not allow the access to the lecture hall, frankly adverse climatic conditions, transfer impairments, such as railway closures due to works, etc.

ALL THE LECTURES ARE GIVEN BY THE REFERENCE PROFESSORS. This is an essential that warrants the building of a virtuous student-professor relationship.

Attending the lessons of the taught Courses is the basis of Article 34 of the Constitution of the Italian Republic that warrants the access to learning for all. Attending the lessons is not, therefore, an obligation, but a right and an opportunity to interact with professors and colleagues regarding the taught subjects.

The tests regarding Radiation Protection, Hygiene, and Occupational Safety are in written form. The test regarding Legal Medicine is verbal. The final score of the Integrated Course “Health Promotion and Safety” will be the mean of the scores of the four tests.

The Course of Health Promotion and Safety seeks to train and educate the attending students, trying to limit any kind of sciolism, that has a detrimental effect on the memory of the taught disciplines. For every Course, therefore, the items of the tests (either written or verbal) reflect the taught topics or topics specifically indicated by the professors in the material provided to the students.

• In order to facilitate the understanding of the various issues in the field of “Health Promotion and Safety”, the lectures will be given during the first semester of the second year of the Dental Hygiene Course, and will be given in blocks.   The goal is to complete the explanation and the discussion of each issue within one lecture, thus removing the detrimental problem of dividing explanation and discussion of one topic in several parts at weeks of distance from each other.   The comprehensive understanding and learning of “Health Promotion and Safety” passes through the four disciplines (1 CFU each) of Legal Medicine, Radiation Protection, Hygiene, Occupational Safety. The lectures of these discipline will be given in parallel to give the students the opportunity to learn different aspects of the same issue, object of the program of two or more disciplines, from the different standpoints of the involved disciplines.
  • Books: The notes taken by the students listening and actively intervening during the lessons asking questions and participating to the debates are the highest and most important existing type of text, that only synchronous Courses taught at the University can offer.   Individually taken notes are tailored on each individual student and are essential to efficiently practice the Dental Hygienist profession.
