Clinical practicuums with patients
Practicing advanced integrated dentistry treatments on patients at the University Dentistry Clinic facilities:
- Single- and multi-rooted endodontics.
- Dental incrustations.
- Stratification of cosmetic composites in anterior teeth.
- Implant-supported prosthetics.
- Root canal tooth reconstruction.

Materials to be provided by students at the start of the course:
- A dental instrument box that can be sterilised, containing the necessary instruments according to the pre-degree requirements. This box is normally given to students after they pay a deposit, which will be returned to them once they have returned the instruments at the end of the academic year). Managed by the University Dental Clinic (CUO).
- Four intraoral phosphor X-ray plates
- Semi-adjustable articulator (ARTEX or SAM recommended).
- Turbine, adapter, micromotor, contra-angle and handpiece.
- Safety glasses or face shield.
- Digital camera for dental photography with ring light, mirrors and separator.
- Magnifying loupes, minimum 2.5x magnification.
- Laptop computer.
- Internet connection for online sessions.
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.
-
Continuous evaluation will be used to assess the evolution of the student's clinical practice.
- In order to pass the course, students must comply with the UDC’s pre-existing protocols and documentation requirements.
- The professor in charge of the course will have the authority to limit the type of treatment a student can provide if they have not demonstrated sufficient skills. If this is the case, the professor will ensure that the student receives further trained in pre-clinical practice until they reach the required skill level.
- Attendance is compulsory, and tardiness will lead to a poor assessment.
- Students must ask for permission for absence, and provide justification for non-attendance as far in advance as possible.
