Syllabus

Course Objectives


The Course provides the necessary skills to:
-Understand the clinical and practical aspects of dental occlusion, masticatory function, and the physiology of the stomatognathic system.
-Enable students to learn the functions of the masticatory system: horizontal intermaxillary relationships; vertical intermaxillary relationships; occlusal curves and planes.
-Learn laboratory procedures for the fabrication of custom-made medical devices within the framework of current regulations.
-Understand the correlations between the limits and advantages of digital methods complementary to the dental profession.
-Know the main research methods and the most commonly used instruments in dental material science.
-Understand the organizational and legislative management of the dental practice and the dental technology laboratory.


Expected learning outcomes

They aim to provide the future dentist with greater independent judgement and scientific awareness regarding the techniques used in the fabrication of custom-made medical devices and in the adoption of effective therapeutic protocols.

Dublin Descriptor 1: Knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

Understand the technologies and dental materials used for the various medical devices, and comprehend the principles and practices of prosthetic dentistry.


Dublin Descriptor 2: Applying knowledge and understanding

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

Apply the acquired knowledge to solve problems and perform professional tasks related to dental practice.


Dublin Descriptor 3: Making judgments

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

Collect and evaluate data, hypotheses, or clinical scenarios, and formulate judgments even based on limited, incomplete, or complex information.


Dublin Descriptor 4: Communication skills

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

Communicate effectively knowledge, information, problems, and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences, and in different contexts.


Dublin Descriptor 5: Learning skills

At the end of the course, the student will be able to:

Learn autonomously, stay up to date, and address new topics or even complex problems.

Course Prerequisites


Knowledge of human anatomy, biology, and basic physics and chemistry.

Teaching Methods


Lectures, videos, and practical demonstrations to support classroom teaching.

Assessment Methods


Summative assessment through a final written exam consisting of 6 questions, divided into:
open-ended questions (usually 3)
multiple-choice closed questions
The duration of the written examination is 20 minutes.

The exam result is expressed out of thirty, following an increasing scale based on:
demonstrated knowledge
appropriateness of terminology
logical structure and coherence of exposition (for open-ended questions)
Each correct answer is awarded:
6 points for open-ended questions
4 points for multiple-choice questions
Incorrect or missing answers receive zero points.
Incomplete answers receive a partial and proportional score.
Grading scale:

Sufficient but incomplete basic knowledge: 18–22/30

Fair knowledge and clarity of exposition: 23–25/30

Good knowledge and ability to explain topics using appropriate terminology and good mastery of the subject: 26–28/30

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

Honors (30 e lode) are awarded to students who demonstrate particularly in-depth knowledge, outstanding exposition skills, and strong critical reasoning ability.
