Preclinical and Clinical Course in Periodontology (ZTMVK_060)
About Study Course
Objective
To provide dentistry students of the 3rd year of study with a comprehensive understanding of the aetiology, pathogenesis, classification and diagnostic principles of periodontal diseases, emphasising evidence-based, patient-grasped and sustainable approaches to periodontological care.Develop skills and competences in identifying risk factors for periodontal diseases, clinical investigation and treatment planning, as well as practice the correct and effective application of periodontal instruments and non-surgical therapy methods, integrating them with the principles of surgical and maintenance therapy.Promote the ability to implement quality and safe periodontal care independently and responsibly, in compliance with occupational environment ergonomics and infection control requirements, as well as develop professional cooperation skills in an interdisciplinary healthcare team, emphasising long-term patient welfare and ensuring sustainable treatment outcomes.
Prerequisites
Students must have acquired knowledge of human anatomy, histology and physiology, as well as general pathology, with a particular emphasis on head and neck anatomy. Basic knowledge of oral diseases and their diagnostic principles is required. Knowledge of oral microbiology and pharmacology is also desirable.
Learning outcomes
1.Students will recognise and classify periodontal instruments according to their type and design, describe their design characteristics and outline sharpening principles.
Define the intended purpose of each instrument and identify the appropriate oral areas in which the instrument is applicable.
1.Students will be able to correctly adapt and apply periodontal instruments on the dental phantom model according to the purpose of the instrument application, as well as demonstrate their correct sharpening.
1.Students will be able to organise the ergonomics of the clinical work environment independently and responsibly by ensuring the correct positioning of the patient, lighting and doctor, as well as by complying with the requirements for the maintenance of a safe work environment and infection control. Will be able to select periodontal instruments according to the clinical situation and apply them atraumatically and efficiently, integrating theoretical knowledge into practical work.
