Syllabus

Course Objectives


The Course provides the necessary competencies to:

Enable students to acquire basic knowledge about the functions of oral tissues: bone tissue, connective tissue, and epithelium.

Understand the clinical aspects related to the use of different types of biomaterials employed in dentistry and their biointegration, with particular reference to the restoration of the functions of the treated tissues.

Acquire knowledge of clinical procedures for the application of biomaterials, and for the fabrication of customized membranes and meshes in compliance with current legislation.

Understand the correlations between limitations and advantages in the use of biomaterials, including digital techniques complementary to the dental profession.

Understand the main research methods and the instruments most commonly used in biomaterials science for dental applications.

Dublin Descriptor 1: Knowledge and Understanding

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


Know the biomaterials used in tissue regeneration and understand the theories, principles, and practices of regenerative surgery.


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 the understanding of clinical issues in tissue regeneration surgery/biology.


Dublin Descriptor 3: Making Judgements

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


Collect and evaluate data, hypotheses, or clinical scenarios, and formulate judgements even on the basis of 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 in different contexts.


Dublin Descriptor 5: Learning Skills

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


Learn autonomously, stay updated, and address new or even complex topics or problems.

Course Prerequisites


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

Teaching Methods


Lectures and videos with practical demonstrations to support frontal teaching

Assessment Methods


Formative assessments with possible mid-term tests; summative assessment through a written report and an oral examination.
The exam result is expressed out of thirty, according to an increasing scale based on the demonstration of knowledge, appropriateness of language, and logical coherence of the presentation:

Basic but incomplete knowledge: score 18–22/30

Fair knowledge and clear presentation: score 23–25/30

Good knowledge and ability to explain topics with appropriate terminology and solid command of the subject: score 26–28/30

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

Honors (lode) is awarded to students who demonstrate exceptionally thorough knowledge, outstanding presentation skills, and strong critical reasoning ability.
