CHIRURGIA ORALE

Academic Year 2022/2023 - Teacher: GAETANO ISOLA

Expected Learning Outcomes

Reaching and obtaining the best skills in odontostomatological and surgical management of the patient in odontostomatology. Achieve and obtain optimal skills in the diagnosis and surgical therapy of mucous and bone pathologies of the oro-maxillofacial area.

The course is set up to guide and improve the student's approach to the patient with various problems, ranging from the management of the patient with a specific surgical pathology to the patient presenting with a non-specific pathology in the oral cavity or craniofacial district and which requires a therapy aimed at the symptom, as well as a diagnosis and therapy aimed at the responsible pathology. In particular, the student must be able to: comply with the techniques of loco-regional anesthesia, must have acquired theoretical, scientific and professional knowledge in the field of pathophysiology, histopathology, clinic and therapy of odontostomatological alterations of surgical interest and in the surgical-rehabilitative treatment of total and partial edentulousness; specific areas of expertise are the histopathology of inflammatory, dysplastic and neoplastic changes in the dento-maxillofacial region, the pathophysiology of bone atrophy of the jaws, physical and instrumental semiotics, clinical methodology and surgical therapy.

The course is supplemented by the free participation of students in local, national and international scientific events organized in the context of the clinic, and odontostomatological surgery and.

The skills acquired will lead the student to develop a critical capacity on the topics dealt with using the skills actively for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes in the surgical management of the patient in odontostomatology.
