Limited Places

Unit 1: Theory and clinical cases (Blended Learning)

Students acquire theoretical and practical knowledge through interactive classes with online support in real time. They learn how to manage the epidemiological and preventive aspects of dental care in patients with pre-existing pathologies, as well as how to deal with emergency situations in the dental clinic and which techniques to apply for periodontic treatments, conservative therapy, prosthodontics, surgery and orthodontics with a specific focus on the perspective of this section of the population: elderly and disabled patients. Students will also learn the theory related to oral mucosal lesions in general.
 
Students will learn how to handle patients who are medically-compromised through systemic pathologies, as well as the complementary tests necessary for dental diagnosis and the use of drugs related to these pathologies and any contraindications related to dental activity. 
 
Students will learn the special characteristics of disabled patients, their main syndromes, how to handle people with disabilities and behavioural alterations, and the logistics required for these cases. This course will provide a basis for the techniques required in a hospital environment, and for patients under sedation with nitrous oxide or general anaesthesia.
 
This module includes classes given by teaching staff, with participation from prestigious guest lecturers and an interactive presentation of clinical cases from daily dental practices as well as student participation in classes and seminars in undergraduate modules on special patients and geriatric patients. 
 

Practical workshop in the lab

Students will take part in a number of workshops to acquire skills for techniques that can be applied in clinical practice: tongue biopsies, rotary instrumentation, prosthesis design, using dental lasers, etc. 

Module 2: Clinical Care for Patients in Institutions

 

The practical side of this module includes offering care to patients with disabilities or special needs, or elderly patients in nursing homes.

Clinical Care in Hospitals

Students will take part in scheduled visits to Hospital de San Rafael to treat non-cooperating patients under general anaesthesia in the operating room. They will also take part in diagnostic visits for patients from the public health system as well as in patients who request private care. 
 
Hospital de San Rafael external lecturers 
 
Dr Judith Guasch
Dr Marta Palanques
 

Care in Nursing Homes

Students will visit Fundación Albà to deal with preventive and treatment aspects for elderly patients with cognitive impairment and systemic pathologies. They will develop work protocols and learn organisational and care strategies related to institutionalised elderly people, and will learn how to work in groups with other health professions in areas such as nursing, medicine, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and so on.

Assistance in dental clinics

Students will attend dental clinics, under the supervision of members of the teaching faculty, to deal with all kinds of pathologies related to surgery, periodontics, conservative dentistry, endodontics, prosthetics, implantology, endodontics, and so on. They will apply the appropriate treatments for each specific profile, for elderly, fragile, or disabled patients, and for polymedicated and medically-compromised patients.

Clinical care for oral lesions (Oral Medicine)

In this sub-module, students will act under the supervision of teaching staff to diagnose and treat patients, with drugs or by means of biopsy techniques, when they present lesions in the oral mucosa as a result of local or systemic pathologies, whatever their age.

Courses and conferences

Attendance and an oral presentation is compulsory at SEGER; attendance and a poster presentation is compulsory at SEMO; attendance is compulsory at SEOEME and, where appropriate, students may attend other relevant courses.

Module 4: Treatments under nitrous oxide sedation

 

Care for patients under nitrous oxide sedation

In this module, students will carry out all kinds of dental treatment on anxious elderly patients, disabled patients or patients with complex medical conditions that require management through oral or intravenous sedation techniques, and patients who require treatment under nitrous oxide sedation.

This programme has a significant component of clinical work. For this reason, you must have the equipment detailed below.

At the beginning of the course, companies supplying these items will visit the faculty, and usually offer special discounts for students. 

The work will be done in pairs, therefore some of the material can be shared (e.g. camera). Although this is an option, we recommend you have your own equipment. 

General equipment for daily use:

  • PC or Apple laptop.
  • Keynote or PowerPoint presentation software
  • Pen drive of at least 16 GB

Clinical materials:

The University Dental Clinic (CUO) provides uniforms, but you need to provide your own appropriate footwear. We supply the necessary consumables for patient care (alginates, silicones, sutures, drape, etc.) and the surgical kits.

Other material:

  • Intraoral mirrors and spacers
  • Digital-SLR camera + macro lens + ring flash
  • Artex type semi-adjustable articulator.

Rotary material:

  • Midwest (M4) dental turbine and adaptor - contra-angle.
    • Handpiece
    • Micromotor
  • 2 x phosphorus plates for X-rays compatible with the Planmeca system

To access the CUO, the student must bring:

  • Personal protection face screen
  • Full protection glasses, except in the case of wearing corrective glasses or magnifying glasses. In this case the full protection glasses are not necessary. All other material of special protection will be provided by the clinic.
