Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics
The course aims to furnish the student with a correct preparation about all the problems concerning operative dentistry and endodontics, in order to make him capable of co-operating with the dentist by assisting him. Furthermore, the student will be able to perform specific tasks as direct operator in the field of operative dentistry.

Dental Materials
Knowledge in the chemical, physical and biological properties of the main classes of dental materials with special emphasis on mechanical properties and the in vitro tests predictive of the clinical behavior. the characteristics and problems of the materials used in clinical practice in relation to the intended use will be explored. Through the analysis of the recent scientific literature the different materials will be presented in order to provide a method of critical analysis of the dental products category, along with criteria of judgment goals based on scientific evidence.

Techniques of Professional Oral Hygiene 3
The course aims to provide useful knowledge to the choice and use of polishing materials and techinque for amalgam, composite resin and prosthetic restorations. We will deepen the operating protocols of dental hygiene for the different types of clinical cases.

Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics Basics of anatomy, histology, physiology, pathophysiology Dental Materials Basic knowledge of chemistry and physics Techniques of Professional Oral Hygiene 3 Students must have been enabled with hand and ultrasonic instruments. The knowledge of the prosthetic and conservative restorations is also required.

Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics The course treats the problems of operative dentistry and endodontics from the dental hygienist’s point of view. General aspects and the aspects specifically interesting for the dental hygienists are clarified. The role of the hygienist is underlined both in its direct form on the patient and in assisting of the dentist. Detailed notions are taught about the team management of the clinical cases and of the instruments. Rules for the the optimization of the work are given. Conservative Dentistry - Purpose, fields of operation, methods of operative dentistry - Role and tasks of the dental hygienist in operative dentistry - Classes of materials of the discipline and purpose of use - Indications and contraindications to the conservative treatment - Black’s classification of cavities and their evolution - Principles, means and rules of macroretention - Correct and incorrect restorations - Instruments in conservative therapy; ergonomic basics - Instruments and materials for amalgam and composite resin restorations - Dental matrices and matrix holders - Medical devices in operative dentistry - Preparation of dental tray in operative dentistry - Isolation of the operative field - Phases of the restoration: differences depending on methods and techniques - Adhesion and dental adhesives - Dental restorations: provisional and definitive, simple and complex, direct and indirect - Hygiene, disinfection, sterilization and storage of the instruments in operative dentistry - Dentine hypersensitivity - Introduction to external tooth whitening Endodontics - Role and tasks of the dental hygienist - Medical devices - Preparation of dental tray - Endodontic instruments - Irrigation and disinfection of the root canal - Root canal filling - Endodontic retreatment: basics - Endodontical surgery: basics - The restoration of the endodontically treated teeth - Hygiene, disinfection, sterilization and storage of the instruments in endodontics Dental Materials The knowledge of the physico-chemical characteristics and biological properties of dental materials is essential for their proper clinical use. The course will analyze the main characteristics of dental materials most commonly used by dentists and dental hygienists to provide a method of critical analysis of the product category, along with criteria of judgment goals based on scientific evidence. 1.

Any changes to the methods described here, which become necessary to ensure the application of the safety protocols related to the COVID19 emergency, will be broadcasted by the teacher and published on the websites of the Department of Medical Sciences.

The exam takes place with an oral exam to evaluate the level of knowledge and competence achieved also to improve your learning relating to the topics of the program. The duration of the exam varies depending on the progress of the test itself, the results of which will be published using the "Partial tests" IT tool provided by the Esse3 platform, and provision of a single final appeal in which the Commission proceeds to verify the results of integrated teaching and the related verbalization
The final evaluation takes into account the results of both evaluations and takes place with a single verbalization at the end of the exam.
In the case of partial tests, in order to pass the exam relating to the teaching, the student must obtain an evaluation of ≥ 18 in each of the partial tests, he will not be able to refuse the result of the partial test, but only the grade of the entire integrated course and, in this case, he will have to repeat all the partial tests.
The vote is expressed out of thirty. The methods of carrying out the partial tests must be defined within the syllabus of the integrated course (teaching) by the Head of the Integrated Course and detailed in the syllabus of each module (teaching unit).
The Student must register for the online exam session on ESSE3. The grade of the partial test is valid until the extraordinary session of the academic year in question. The final grade of the integrated course exam derives from the weighted average, therefore weighted on the CFU of each module, obtained in the individual partial tests. For the purposes of defining the average, the value of 1 point is attributed to any honors obtained in the partial tests, i.e. the grade of 30 and honors in the partial tests corresponds numerically to the score of 31. To attribute honors to the final exam grade , it will be necessary for the weighted average obtained by the student in the partial tests relating to the various modules to be >30.5. Exam evaluation
