KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION : students will have to know and understand the items of the restorative dentistry.
KNOWLEDGE AND COMPREHENSION APPLICATION SKILLS : students will be able to argue about the restorative problems.
AUTONOMY IN JUDGEMENT : the students should be able to collect and interpret clinically relevant data.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS: the students should be able to communicate information, ideas and solutions of the clinical problems to colleagues and patients.
LEARN ING SKILLS : the students will have to demonstrate a sufficient degree of autonomy to learn recent developments in restorative dentistry.

After the analysis of the advanced techniques of conservative dental restoration, the students will be able to choose the restoration technique in each case on the basis of scientific advances. They must have a wide knowledge of Restorative Dentistry.

To know dental anatomy, phisiology and pathology.
To get through the course of Conservative Dentistry.

The program provides for the treatment of complex conservative restorations up to the border with the Prosthesis, analyzing the single clinical-operative aspects starting from the key symptom of dentinal hyperesthesia and from the right diagnosis setting and therapeutic plan; the necessary pre-restorative treatments and the choice and optimal execution of the restorations will be examined, safeguarding the pulp and taking into account the dental biomechanics.

Analysis of complex conservative 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 resin or natural teeth mounted on arches 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.
