Master in Clinical Periodontology (in lingua Inglese)

TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM

Theoretical and practical sessions will be integrated by practical session on artificial and animal models.

The following materials will be given to students by CD:

• Surgical scheme;
• Periodontal chart for the dental office;
• Video of live-surgery.

Each student could bring to the dental clinic 2 their patients to perform oral surgery as first operator lead by the professor/tutor.

The clinical surgery session would be performed during the course according to the calendar of practical lessons.

The calendar of the lessons could be modified and adjusted, with adequate notice, due to the national and international scientific calendar.
