The main objective of the Integrated Course is to provide adequate skills in order to plan the therapeutic process of professional oral hygiene, in its complexity. These skills are defined by the fact that the student learns the terminology, to know the techniques for the detection of oral and extra-oral objectivity and to use the methods and tools for the detection of such objectivity in relation to dental-gingival pathologies. Once the ability of diagnostic-clinical framework has been acquired, the student develops the ability to identify the major risk factors for oral health in order to structure a personalized treatment plan. In this phase of his training he acquires knowledge of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic process of his own competence, so as to select the instrumental procedure and the suitable techniques for each patient, according to the best possible scientific evidence. Consequently, the student acquires diagnostic-clinical framework skills based on the anamnestic evaluation, the individual risk that takes into account the specific differences, the subjective abilities, gender and age. Already from the first year of the course, it is considered important to give a specific orientation concerning the legal framework of the profession, relations with public and private bodies, the elaboration of organizational protocols of operations in relation to the various objectives to be achieved, the job analysis and global management of the profession.
The educational objectives of the course will be achieved through lectures and through practical application lessons.
