Objectives
At the end of the course, student should:
- Know the most common otorinolaryngoiatric, maxillofacial, oral and eye diseases with the main therapeutic approach.
- Have the ability to diagnose the most common otorinolaryngoiatric, maxillofacial, oral and eye diseases.
- be aware of what pathological conditions could be treated by general medical practitioner and those were referred to specialist.
Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide students with the skills necessary to recognize, diagnose, and treat oral diseases that may arise in dentistry. Students will learn about the main oral diseases and their impact on the patient's overall health.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
Understand the etiopathogenesis, risk factors, and prophylaxis of dental caries, pulpitis, and periodontal disease.
Understand growth anomalies and jaw development: normal occlusion and dentoskeletal malocclusions.
Understand odontogenic and non-odontogenic cysts.
Understand jaw inflammation.
Understand the main odontogenic tissue tumors and define the most appropriate therapeutic approach.
Identify oral soft tissue pathologies and tumors for proper prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Understand the etiopathogenesis, clinical and radiological findings, possible complications, and surgical treatment of third molar dysodontiasis.
Understand the classification, etiopathogenesis, clinical and radiological findings, and surgical treatment of maxillary cysts.
