Integrated course unit module: ODONTOSTOMATOLOGIC CLINIC (4Y-1S) ATT

Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to provide students with the major fundamental concepts enabling them to make a correct diagnosis <br />
of pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions of the oral cavity, using instrumental and laboratory diagnostic investigative <br />
techniques. The Course also aims to provide the fundamental elements for handling odontostomatological problems <br />
(clinical and therapeutic aspects) in patients affected by systemic diseases. <br />
