Presentation

The Master's Degree Programme in Dentistry and Dental Prosthodontics aims to provide the scientific basis and the theoretical-practical preparation necessary for the practice of the dental profession, as well as the methodology and the culture necessary for the practice of continuing training. In addition to allowing the acquisition of the fundamental skills to critically detect and evaluate, from a clinical point of view and in a unitary view of self-assessment, data on the state of health and disease of the stomatognathic apparatus of the individual, the programme also aims to develop the ability to communicate clearly and humanely with the patient and with his/her family members, and to organise human resources.

Programme contents

The Degree Programme lasts six years. The first two years of the programme cover basic learning activities introducing the students to the foundations of the structural organisation and vital functions of the human body. It includes teachings that address issues related to the doctor-patient relationship and the understanding of the basic principles of scientific methodology. During the first two years, students learn the methods of handling patients with oral and dental problems. The following three years include the study of medical, surgical and specialist subjects, particularly referring to clinical problems linked to dental pathologies. Theoretical courses and clinical internships covering the topics of oral pathology, restorative dentistry, oral surgery, periodontology, orthodontia, paediatric dentistry and prostheses, pursue the common objective of developing skills and experience to tackle and solve the problems of oral health in terms of prevention, diagnostics, prognostics, treatment and rehabilitation. The sixth year covers exclusively teaching activities that are job-oriented and intended to teach how to treat patients suffering from odonto-stomatological issues.

Job opportunities

Dentists work in the prevention, diagnosis and care of oral and dental diseases. They correct the alterations of development and the irregular position of teeth. In particular, they study the pathologies and congenital and acquired anomalies of the teeth and mouth and their relationship with the general state of health. They inform patients on prevention, establish the required care and implement the relative treatments. Dentists' activities consist first and foremost in the analysis of the state of health of the system and the patients' case history. According to this, they diagnose pathologies and define the required care. Dental care and rehabilitation involve a range of interventions, from the most common and simple, managing tooth decay, to more complex activities including dental prostheses.
