06714 - Special Odontostomatological Pathology

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, students will be equipped to recognize the main odontostomatological pathologies. Specifically, students will be able to: - apply basic knowledge to correctly diagnose the most common pathologies affecting the stomatognathic system; - identify inflammatory and infectious pathologies affecting the odontostomatognathic system (and their systemic repercussions); - plan prophylactic treatment using early detection and primary and secondary prevention methods for the management of odontostomatological pathologies.

Teaching methods

Theoretical lectures will be conducted in a multimedia-equipped classroom, primarily using PPT slides. Students will be provided with electronic versions of the slides presented during the lectures via email.

Assessment methods

The oral exam consists of one or more questions on the syllabus covered. To pass the exam, students must achieve a passing grade in each subject. The purpose of the oral exam is to test the student's ability to apply their knowledge and make the necessary logical-deductive connections. The number of questions may vary based on the student's level of preparation and depth of understanding of the subject matter as demonstrated in their answers. The exam aims to assess the achievement of the following learning objectives:  Final grade grading:

• Apply basic knowledge to correctly diagnose the most common pathologies affecting the stomatognathic system.
• Identify inflammatory and infectious pathologies affecting the odontostomatognathic system (and their systemic repercussions).
• Prepare prophylactic treatment using early detection and primary and secondary prevention methods for the management of odontostomatological pathologies.
  

Final grade grading:

→ 18-19: Knowledge of a very limited number of topics covered in the course and analytical skills that emerge only with the instructor's assistance, using generally correct language;

→ 20-24: Knowledge of a limited number of topics covered in the course and independent analytical skills only on purely executive issues, using correct language;

→ 25-29: Knowledge of a wide range of topics covered in the course, ability to make independent critical analysis choices, mastery of specific terminology;

→ 30-30L: Substantially comprehensive knowledge of the topics covered in the course, ability to make independent critical analysis and connection choices, full mastery of specific terminology, and ability to argue and self-reflect.

Students with learning disorders and\or temporary or permanent disabilities: please, contact the office responsible (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en/for-students ) as soon as possible so that they can propose acceptable adjustments. The request for adaptation must be submitted in advance (15 days before the exam date) to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of the adjustments, taking into account the teaching objectives.
