Knowledge and ability to understand: the student should show mastery of knowledge related to current national and international guidelines, commented on during lectures, with particular attention to diagnostic and care pathways, and to know the main techniques for performing dental radiographs and related instrumentation.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student should show that he/she has acquired skills, tools and a conscious autonomy of judgment in relation to the topics covered.

Autonomy of judgment: the student should show possession of the ability to use the knowledge acquired by demonstrating reasoning according to the specific logic of the discipline. He/she should be able to assess the degree of evidence of a scientific article found on the main search engines and to evaluate the strength of the recommendations of ministerial guidelines and be able to choose the type and technique of radiographic execution appropriate to the case.

Communication skills: during the lectures, students will be stimulated to interact and discuss with each other by proposing questions and exercises aimed at the reworking of the knowledge learned.

Learning skills: the student should be able to independently investigate the topics covered in the course, including through critical consultation of scientific articles provided by the lecturer.

Concepts of human, dental and head and neck anatomy, physiology.

DENTAL RADIOLOGY
Typologies of radiographs in dentistry; orthopantomography: technique of execution and use of related software in the digital environment; endoral radiographs; instrumentation for performing endoral radiographs; techniques for developing endoral radiographs; CT scans; file archiving.

Frontal teaching combined with research labs to be conducted in working groups. Simulations to apply the correct radiographic techniques. Any changes to the modalities described here, which may be necessary to ensure the application of safety protocols related to COVID19 emergency, will be communicated in the Department, Course of Study and teaching website.

Lessons will be recorded and stored on Teams platform.

Students must sit the individual partial examinations on the dates scheduled in the Degree Course examination calendar. In particular, the performance of partial examinations, the results of which must be published using the "Partial examinations" IT tool provided by the Esse3 platform, and will be recorded in a single final appeal in which the Commission proceeds to verify the overall results of the integrated course and to record them. The student must register for the online appeal of the partial examination on ESSE3. The grade for the partial examination will be held valid until the extraordinary session of the academic year in question. In order to pass the examination relating to the course, the student must obtain a mark of ≥ 18 in each of the partial examinations; he/she may not reject the result of the partial examination, but only the grade for the entire integrated course, in which case he/she must repeat all the partial examinations.
The final mark for the integrated course examination is derived from the weighted average, thus weighted on the CFUs of each module, obtained in the individual partial tests. For the purposes of defining the average, any honours obtained in the partial examinations will be assigned a value of 1 point, i.e. a mark of 30 with honours in the partial examinations corresponds numerically to a mark of 31. In order to assign honours to the final examination mark, it will be necessary for the weighted average obtained by the student in the partial examinations relating to the various modules to be >30,5.
For both modules, the examination is based on the entire course programme.
Verification of the knowledge acquired, for course 951ME-2, will be performed by means of a written examination with multiple-choice and open-ended questions.
In the case of course 951ME-5, students will have to take an oral examination including a possible simulation of performing dental radiographs; to pass the examination, the student will have to answer at least one question correctly and completely; to obtain the maximum mark, the student will have to answer all the questions completely and correctly simulate the process of performing a dental radiograph

The evaluation grid adopted is as follows
- Excellent (30 - 30 cum laude): very good knowledge of the subject matter, very good ownership of language, very good analytical ability; the student is able to apply theoretical knowledge brilliantly.
- Very good (27 - 29): good knowledge of the subject matter, remarkable command of language, good analytical ability; the student is able to apply the theoretical knowledge correctly.
- Good (24-26): good knowledge of the main topics, fair command of language; the student shows an adequate ability to apply theoretical knowledge.
- Satisfactory (21-23): the student does not show full mastery of the main topics of the course, although he/she possesses the fundamental knowledge; however, he/she shows satisfactory language skills and sufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge.
- Sufficient (18-20): minimal knowledge of the main teaching topics and technical language, limited ability to apply theoretical knowledge adequately.
- Insufficient: the student does not possess an acceptable knowledge of the content of the various topics of the syllabus.

This course contributes to the realization of the ONU objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
