Syllabus

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: at the end of the course, students must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of key concepts and fundamental principles on which endodontic, periodontal and fixed prosthetic diagnosis and therapy are based and to know the healing processes.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: at the end of the course the students will have to know how to apply the principles and diagnostic tools of complex restoration and will have to know how to do them.
AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT: students must be able to collect and interpret clinically relevant data.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: students should be able to communicate information, ideas and solutions to clinical problems to patients and colleagues.
ABILITY TO LEARN: students must demonstrate a sufficient degree of autonomy to undertake subsequent details and studies in a self-managed way.

briefly, at the end the student will be able to understand the issues discussed and independently make suitable post-endodontic restorative choices.

Knowledge of anatomy, histology, pathophysiology. To get trough the course of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics during the first semester.

The program substantially examines the post-endodontic restoration, considering the restorative techniques on the basis of the biomechanics of the endodontically treated tooth.

Teaching materials provided by the teacher and discussed in class

- Biomechanics, restorative problems and restoration of endodontically treated teeth
- Direct and indirect techniques of crown restoration with or without endodontic post
- Pre- and post- endodontic restoration

1. lectures
2. analysis of clinical images, radiographies and videos
3. discussion of clinical cases
4. practical simulations

In-depth analysis of complex post-endodontic restorative problems and cases on demand.

The student's ongoing and final evaluation includes:
-written theoretical exam (31 multiple choice quizzes, divided between Endodontics and Conservative) on the topics covered
-evaluation of practical works on extracted natural teeth after endodontic treatment (postendodontic restoration) for the conservative part
-oral discussion

The exam grade is expressed in thirtieths and derives from the weighted result of the three tests listed, which must each be passed with at least 18/30. To obtain 30/30 with honors, the student must have passed the exam with 31/31 and have demonstrated particular interests and theoretical and/or practical skills relevant to the subject.

The evaluation grid adopted for the practical work and oral discussion is as follows:
- Excellent (30 - 30 cum laude): excellent knowledge of the topics, excellent command of language,
excellent analytical ability; the student is able to apply knowledge brilliantly
theoretical to concrete cases.
- Very good (27 - 29): good knowledge of the topics, notable fluency in language,
good analytical ability; the student is able to apply knowledge correctly
theoretical to concrete cases.
- Good (24-26): good knowledge of the main topics, fair command of language; he/she
student shows an adequate ability to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete cases.
- Satisfactory (21-23): the student does not show full mastery of the topics
principals of teaching, despite possessing the fundamental knowledge; show anyway
satisfactory language skills and sufficient ability to apply theoretical knowledge to
concrete cases.
- Sufficient (18-20): minimal knowledge of the main topics of teaching and
technical language, limited ability to adequately apply theoretical knowledge to cases
concrete.
- Insufficient: the student does not have acceptable knowledge of the contents of the
different topics of the program.

The final grade of the module derives from the sum of the grades of the three tests.

After the partial tests have been carried out, the results of which will be published using the "Partial tests" tool provided by the Esse3 platform, a single final appeal is planned in which the Commission proceeds to verify the overall results of the integrated teaching and the related verbalization. .

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/she 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 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.
