The teaching is set up to guide and improve the student's approach to the patient with various problems, ranging from the correct analysis of periodontal anatomy in physiology and pathophysiology and specific in the diagnosis in the patient affected by diseases of the oral cavity of the patient who presents with a specific pathology in the oral cavity or in the craniofacial area and which requires 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 obtain a correct degree of definition of the different forms of oral pathology and perform a careful analysis of the clinical scenario in which the problem occurs, up to the formulation of hypotheses for the resolution of the problem presented ( therapeutic options) with specific modules on physical and instrumental semeiotics, clinical methodology and non-surgical and surgical therapy of the patient affected by oral pathologies.

The course is complemented by the free participation of students in local, national and international scientific events organized in the field of oral medicine.

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 management of special odontostomatological pathology.
