1. General information
The dentist should not lose sight of the general vision of the area in which they works, the head and neck territory, (and of course in the context of a patient with body and soul), avoiding minimizing or reducing their field of work, but understanding the pathology that afflicts the patient in the broad context of the term “patient”. The general objective of this subject is that the student knows the most frequent pathologies in the head and neck territory allowing them not to overlook situations such as tumours, fractures or malformations among others that could compromise the patient's life.
In addition, the basic principles will be explained and the students will be introduced to the extensive and complex field of treatment of the partially or totally edentulous with dental implants.
These approaches and objectives are aligned with the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Agenda 2030 ( in such a way that the acquisition of the https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/), learning results of the subject provides training and competence to contribute to some extent to their achievement: Goal 3: Health and wellness.
Recommendations for taking the subject
Essential knowledge of the previous subjects of the Degree in Dentistry, with special attention to those of medical, surgical, anatomy, pharmacology, microbiology and physiology content.
2. Learning results
Upon completion of this subject, the student will be able to:
1. Know how to take a record and explore the patient in the field of head and neck surgery.
2. Recognize benign and malignant tumour pathologies in the study area.
3. Identify the patient with joint pathology and be able to guide its study.
4. Correctly define craniofacial malformations.
5. Lay the foundation for the treatment of facial fractures.
6. Correctly approach the treatment of the patient with pain.
7. Know how to take a record and explore the patient who is a candidate for implants.
8. Focus on the partial or total edentulous in their rehabilitative treatment.
9. Recognize the complications arising in the field of implant treatment.
10. Know how to follow a correct maintenance plan for the patient with dental implants.

LABORATORY PROGRAM
It consists of guided practical sessions according to the following distribution:
1. Exodontia cordal included
2. Canine exodontia including
3. Clinical record and examination of the oro-cervico-maxillo-mandibular territory
4. Ferulizations and blockages
5. Biopsy
6. Periapical surgery
7. Implant Material Handling (first session)
8. Guided bone regeneration
4. Academic activities
The subject is broken down into three methodologically differentiable activities, but related in content.
Participative Master Classes.
Sessions in the Preclinical Practice Laboratory.
Problem and Case Sessions. Students will have group work activities with problem solving on the Moodle platform
Scheduled learning activities.
- Preclinical laboratory sessions in which students will be immersed in the use of techniques and materials specific to the surgical area in which they are working.
- Group work by solving cases that stimulate the ability to observe, to develop a suspicion and / or analyse the content of what is derived from it and to justify its outcome.
- Theoretical sessions/seminars with problems.
PROBLEMS AND CASES PROGRAM
1. During these sessions students will attend the clinical cases presented to them and there will be an active discussion in class.
2. Each session will deal with one or more of the topics of the theoretical part, and may be completed with iconography in its different modalities.
5. Assessment system
Continuous evaluation throughout the term, of regular attendance, attitude, participation and work in theory classes and practices. Weighting 10%Evaluation of group work. Weighting 25%
Individual written test. Weighting 40%
It will consist of a test of 50 multiple-choice questions of 5 items and only one correct answer. It will be necessary to pass 35 questions to pass the exam. Incorrect questions do not subtract.
Individual work to collect the practices (practice notebook or online activities). Weighting 25%
Regarding the final grade, it is necessary to pass the two blocks separately in order to obtain an average (a pass will be considered as 5.0 out of 10.0).
