ODONTOIATRIA CONSERVATIVA

The course of Conservative Dentistry of the II semester of the fourth year of the CLMOPD has the formal educational objective of giving the student the cultural training and technical information that allow him to access the preclinical and clinical practical exercises through a detailed knowledge of the dental anatomy, decay, materials and techniques of diagnosis, decay treatments and the lack of dental hard tissue due to traumatic events.

The following will be studied: dental anatomy; etiology, caries diagnosis and intraoral radiography techniques; the materials and techniques of isolation of the operating field; replacement materials for dental hard tissue and their techniques of use (composites and amalgams); the adhesive techniques of the composite and the retentive techniques of the amalgam; cavitary principles and their execution in the different dental sectors and for the different restorative materials; color principles and selection criteria for the restoration, finishing and polishing of conservative restorations; whitening techniques, materials and principles of minimally invasive conservative

The teaching will be carried out through lectures on frontal teaching on the subjects being studied. There will also be some in-depth seminars on specific topics and evaluation laboratories for different materials used in Conservative Dentistry. Internship with practical exercises on extracted and simulated teeth.
