Learning objectives

<br />At the  end of the Course, students must have gained:<br />1-Knowledge of the fundamental biological principles of the  periodontal disease and of the healing process<br />2-Knowledge of the periodontal disease, the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic diseases and the <br />  need for periodontal treatment in patients affected by systemic diseases.<br />3-Knowledge of periodontal epidemiology  and of the role played by Periodontology in ministerial odontostomatologic <br />  prevention schemes.<br />

Course unit content

<br />1.Functional anatomy of the periodontium, oral cavity and stomatognatic system.<br />2.Biology of the periodontium and oral cavity.<br />3.Definition, classification and natural history of periodontal diseases (gingivitis, increases in gingival volume, <br />  aggressive periodontitis, chronic periodontitis in adults, necrotizing periodontitis, periodontitis associated with <br />  systemic diseases).<br />4.Epidemiology of the periodontal diseases:<br />.     inflammatory periodontal index and need for treatment<br />.     prevalence (age, status etc.)<br />.     risk factors for periodontal disease<br />.     the periodontal disease as a risk factor for other diseases<br />5.Local etiological factors (dental plaque and calculus)<br />.     formation, structure and localization of the mucobacterial plaque <br />.     calculus mineralisation, composition and structure<br />.     conditions favouring the association of local etiological factors<br />6.Microbiology of the periodontal disease<br />.     periodontal infections and their characteristics<br />.     individuation of the pathogenic species in the various forms of periodontal disease<br />.     acute manifestations <br />.     gingivitis<br />.     periodontitis<br />7.Pathogenesis<br />.     host defence mechanisms<br />.     non-specific immune response (PMN, macrophages, phlogosis)<br />.     specific immune response (lymphocyte, humoral and cellular)<br />.     histopathology of lesions<br />.     initial, early, stabilized, advanced lesion<br />8.Host susceptibility<br />.     individual response<br />.     risk factors<br />9.Clinics of the periodontal disease<br />.     gingivitis<br />.     increases in gingival volume<br />.     clinical manifestations of periodontitis (pockets, gingival recessions, formation lesions, mobility, migrations,<br />      abscess) <br />.     chronic periodontitis<br />.     necrotizing periodontitis<br />.     periodontitis associated with systemic diseases<br />10.Occlusal trauma <br />.     definition and terminology<br />.     relationship between occlusal trauma and periodontitis<br />11.Relationship between periodontology and endodontics <br />.     primary endodontic lesions<br />.     endo-periodontal lesions<br />.     endodontic lesions secondary to periodontal disease or treatment<br />12.Relationship between periodontal disease and systemic diseases<br />13.Periodontal manifestations in dermatological diseases<br />14.Reactive hyperplasia, cysts and periodontium neoplasia<br />15.Basic and advanced periodontal diagnosis<br />.     medical history<br />.     clinical examination<br />.     survey<br />.     examination RX<br />.     immunological and biochemical laboratory tests<br />.     microbiological tests<br />.     genetic tests.
