Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:
The Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine I curricular unit intends to be an introductory approach to the study of the most frequent diseases of the mouth. It is intended to prepare students to deal with patients carrying those diseases. Those skills are supposed to be used in a future professional activity and should be used as a bridge to acquisition of further knowledge in other curricular units. Students should be able to integrate the basic concepts of the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases studied.
At the end of the curricular unit, students, when facing a clinical case, should be able to elaborate a list of differential diagnostic hypotheses and should know how to refer patients with systemic, infectious or oncologic situations. Furthermore students should be able to elaborate a surgical plan to patients that will have to be submitted to surgical procedures.
