Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The learning process that has been design for this subject is based on:

Three tipes of activities:

Work with materials and process with a symbolic nature.

• Professor's presentation through magistral lectures.
• Workshops. The students and the proffesor will show and introduce the use of the parallelizers.
• Student study of the recommended texts.
• Written work in groups by the students about overdentures.

Analysis and diagnosis in contextualised situations.

• Workshops with presentation and group analysis of parallelizer.
• Study and video display of different prosthetic techniques accompanied by comments and analysis in groups.

Achievements in context close to reality.

• Preclinic and laboratory practices with plastic casts that reproduce the anatomical condition of edentulism in a similar context to a real patient.

5.2. Learning tasks

• Magistral lectures.
• Clinical Cases Sesions.
• Complementary Workshps.
• Resolution of doubts in common.
• Activity participation of the students in teaching.
