The student needs to have met the requirements as established by the Subjects Guide of the Course of Studies, and in particular he/she will need to have obtained ”pass” in the exam of Clinical Odontostomatology and Therapy1.
At the end of the course the student has to take a written exam. The candidate will be examined on the topics related to the syllabus of the integrated course. Not only will the candidate’s knowledge and learning ability be evaluated, but also his/her independence of judgement and communication skills will be assessed in regard to the fundamental principles of Clinical Odontostomatology.
The aim of the course is to provide dental students with the necessary knowledge about how to collect a complete, updated and accurate medical history, to perform a patient’s objective examination, to prescribe and evaluate instrumental investigations in order to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. At the end of the course the student will have acquired the skills essential to the odontostomatological management (medical and surgical) of both the healthy patient and the patient with systemic diseases.
