Objectives
THE COURSE OF ODONTOSTOMATOLOGIC PATHOLOGY, MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY AND DERMATOLOGY TAKES PLACE IN THE 2ND SEMESTER OF THE 3RD YEAR. IT IS DIVIDED INTO 3 DIDACTIC MODULES OF 33 CFU, FOR A TOTAL OF 88 LECTURE HOURS.
THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE THE STUDENT WITH DYSEMBRYOPATHOGENETIC, HISTOPATHOLOGICAL AND
ETIOPATHOGENETIC AND DIAGNOSTIC OF THE MOST COMMON PATHOLOGIES OF THE ORO-MAXILLOFACIAL DISTRICT, ORAL SOFT TISSUES, SALIVARY GLANDS AND JAW BONES, IN ORDER TO MATURE A CORRECT METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE DIAGNOSTIC WORK-FLOW, MINIMIZING ERRORS AND DIAGNOSTIC DELAYS.
THE STUDENT WILL LEARN TO TAKE A PROPER GENERAL AND SPECIALIZED HISTORY, PERFORM ORAL AND DISTRICT EXAMINATION OF THE PATIENT, IDENTIFY ORAL CONDITIONS OTHER THAN NORMAL, RECOGNIZE ELEMENTARY LESIONS, AND UNDERTAKE A PROPER IN-DEPTH DIAGNOSTIC CLINICAL-INSTRUMENTAL WORKFLOW.
Prerequisites
THE TEACHING ASSUMES KNOWLEDGE OF EMBRYOLOGY, HISTOLOGY, AND ANATOMY OF THE ORAL CAVITY AND THAT THE STUDENT KNOWS HOW TO PERFORM A CORRECT METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH TO DIAGNOSTIC WORK-FLOW.
THE TEACHING IS NOT SUBJECT TO PROPEDEUTICITY AND/OR BARRING AS PER ART. 12 OF THE PUBLISHED TEACHING REGULATIONS.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF LECTURES, CLASSROOM EXERCISES AND LABORATORY EXERCISES. THE LECTURES WILL ENABLE THE STUDENT TO ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY FOR A METHODOLOGICALLY CORRECT CLINICAL-INSTRUMENTAL APPROACH TO THE MOST COMMON ODONTOSTOMATOLOGICAL PATHOLOGIES, WHICH ACCUSTOMS THE STUDENT TO FOLLOW A CODIFIED SYSTEMATIC PROCEDURE, REDUCING THE MARGIN OF ERROR AND DIAGNOSTIC DELAY; AS WELL AS KNOWLEDGE OF ELEMENTARY PERIORAL CUTANEOUS AND MUCOSAL LESIONS; HE/SHE WILL BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN CONVERSATIONS ON TOPICS RELATED TO THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE DISCIPLINE MAKING USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY. EXERCISES WILL ENABLE THE STUDENT TO DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE IN ORDER TO RECOGNIZE LESIONS ON OBJECTIVE AND WHEN NECESSARY DERMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION, SO AS TO DIFFERENTIATE INFECTIOUS, INFLAMMATORY AND NEOPLASTIC PATHOLOGIES; WILL BE ABLE TO ASSESS THE PRESENCE OF LESIONS TO THE ORAL CAVITY RESULTING FROM SKIN DISEASES (PSORIASIS, ATOPIC DERMATITIS, CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASES); WILL BE ABLE, CONVERSELY, TO SUSPECT SPECIFIC SKIN PATHOLOGIES FROM OBSERVATION OF LESIONS OF THE ORAL CAVITY OR PERIORAL SKIN; WILL BE ABLE TO EVALUATE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE AT RISK OF DEVELOPING DYSPLASTIC OR NEOPLASTIC LESIONS TO THE ORAL CAVITY OR PERIORAL SKIN. TEACHING WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIVIDUAL/GROUP PAPER AIMED AT ACQUIRING SKILLS IN CLINICAL CASE FRAMING AND SUBSEQUENT PRO-DIAGNOSIS WORK-UP. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PAPER WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH THE CLASS AND INDIVIDUALLY WITH THE STUDENT DURING THE LECTURER'S OFFICE HOURS.
Verification of learning
THE EXAMINATION CONSISTS OF AN ORAL TEST LASTING APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES THAT INCLUDES DISCUSSION OF THE PAPER, AIMED AT VERIFYING THE STUDENT'S ABILITY TO INDEPENDENTLY DEVELOP THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES. THE ORAL TEST WILL VERIFY THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE DYSEMBRYOPATHOGENETIC, HISTOPATHOLOGICAL, ETIOPATHOGENETIC AND DIAGNOSTIC ASPECTS OF THE MOST COMMON PATHOLOGIES OF THE ORO-MAXILLO-FACIAL DISTRICT (OF THE ORAL SOFT TISSUES, SALIVARY GLANDS AND JAW BONES). THE ORAL TEST SCORE IS AIMED AT ASSESSING THE STUDENT'S THEORETICAL DEPTH. THE MINIMUM SCORE IN THE ORAL TEST INVOLVES KNOWLEDGE OF THE TOPICS NECESSARY FOR A METHODOLOGICALLY CORRECT CLINICAL-INSTRUMENTAL APPROACH TO THE MOST COMMON ODONTOSTOMATOLOGICAL AND DERMATOLOGICAL PATHOLOGIES OF DENTAL INTEREST. THE HIGHEST GRADE IS ACHIEVED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES THE ABILITY TO CORRECTLY ILLUSTRATE AND DISCUSS THE MAIN THEMES OF THE DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES, CORRELATING THEM WITH EACH OTHER AND SETTING UP A CORRECT DIAGNOSTIC WORK-FLOW. EXCELLENCE REQUIRES ACHIEVING THE MAXIMUM GRADE IN ALL TESTS AND HAVING DEMONSTRATED MATURITY ON THE INTEGRATED COURSE CONTENT BASED ON THE QUALITY OF THE EXPOSITION IN TERMS OF THE USE OF APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC LANGUAGE AND THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT DEMONSTRATED. THE FINAL GRADE WILL RESULT FROM THE COMPOSITION OF A SCORE FROM 0 AND 30 WITH HONORS OF THE KNOWLEDGE TEST.
