Course Prerequisites


Basic knowledge related to (general) materials science

Teaching Methods


Lectures aimed at stimulating in students a critical understanding of the topics, enabling them to acquire knowledge of dental materials useful for solving the specific professional problems of dental hygienists.

Assessment Methods


Oral examination aimed at assessing the quality and level of knowledge and understanding of the course content, as well as the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to professional practice. The evaluation will also consider the quality of the student's participation in lessons.

The exam result is expressed out of thirty, according to an ascending scale based on the demonstration of knowledge, appropriateness of language, and logical coherence of the exposition:

sufficient but incomplete basic knowledge: score 18–22/30;

fair knowledge and clear exposition: score 23–25/30;

good knowledge and ability to explain the topics with appropriate language and mastery of the subject: score 26–28/30;

excellent knowledge of the topics and excellent exposition skills, with critical reasoning: score 28–30/30.

Honors are awarded to students who demonstrate particularly in-depth knowledge, exceptional exposition skills, and strong critical reasoning.
