- Develop valid diagnostic models, mount them on the articulator, and properly evaluate the occlusal records.
- Assess the dynamic, sensory, and motor function of the stomatognathic apparatus.
- Perform a basic occlusal examination, static and dynamic of the stomatognathic apparatus.
- Develop the ability to identify and diagnose the prosthetic needs (functional and aesthetic) of the patient, plan the appropriate treatment and establish to what extent the objectives can be achieved through removable prosthetics.
- Recognize the signs indicating that the treatment will be complex, know how to take appropriate measures to treat it or refer it to the corresponding professional.
- Plan and design removable full and partial prostheses effectively, as well as in performing these techniques when relevant and the use of appropriate materials and apparatus.
- Understand the design, technique, and systematic procedures of the laboratory procedures used in the manufacture of removable prostheses, as well as to be able to make necessary adjustments and modifications in both the clinic and the laboratory.
- Know how to carry out and record in the appropriate document a complete oral evaluation: dental, periodontal, mucosal, and other structures of the mouth.

The teaching-learning methodology of the training program will adapt to the typologies and needs of the students.
The teaching of the theoretical programming will be carried out mainly through the classic teaching technique of the master class.
Seminars and theoretical-practical classes will complement the teaching of the theoretical program.
The development of independent learning will be encouraged. That is, a good level of student participation will be sought. For this reason, appropriate emphasis will be given to group work and corresponding oral presentations.
The teaching methodology in the practical program will also seek the development of autonomous learning. The role of the teacher will be to guide the student in the practical application of previously acquired theoretical concepts. The motivation of the student towards dental prosthesis and special attention to aspects of ergonomics, care, and precision in the procedures carried out will be sought.
Creative use of technologies and advances in information technology will also be taken into account.
The appropriate compliance with tutorials will be ensured. Attention and guidance to the student and the accessibility and availability of teachers will be necessary conditions for the quality of teaching.
Our virtual course will be used to support practical contents.
The cognitive area will be assessed by conducting a partial exam and a final written exam.
The partial exam will consist of:
A PRAC type written test of the thematic block being evaluated.
The final exam will consist of:
A PRAC type written test of the thematic block being evaluated.
A multiple-choice test of the thematic block being evaluated.
A written test, with free and long responses from the thematic block being evaluated.
The partial exam, which will be liberating in nature for those students who achieve at least a "7/10", will be carried out at the end of the first semester and will evaluate the knowledge of the material taught during the first semester.
Regarding the sensory-motor and affective areas, these will be evaluated by conducting a continuous follow-up throughout the course of the students' aptitudes and attitudes.
Along with continuous assessment, progress checks will periodically be carried out in the form of work rubrics evaluated by the teaching staff.
The final grade is obtained with the average of the partial grades of the theoretical and practical blocks.
The influence of each block on the final grade will be:
Grade of the theoretical block: 50%
Grade of the practical block: 50%
It is necessary to pass the theoretical and practical contents independently, as if the student did not pass one of them, they would not achieve a pass in the discipline.
The practical part must be approved in the June call since it is not recoverable in the time available between the first and second call.
Attendance at class, both theoretical and practical, will be mandatory and a requirement to pass the subject.
The student must actively participate in the virtual course of the subject.
Study: An hour and a half for each theoretical lesson. 90 hours.
Tutoring: One and a half hours in person each semester per student for the clarification of doubts prior to the exams and half an hour of the student prior to the tutorial for the preparation of their doubts.
Preparation of seminars: Twelve hours per student.
Exam preparation: One hour of reinforcement for each theoretical lesson (60 hours), 3 hours for the consultation of bibliography, 6 hours for the integration of concepts and 3 hours for the realization of the exams (one hour and a half exam per term).
To successfully complete this program, it is recommended that students:
Attend tutorials: This will provide an opportunity to ask any questions, clarify concepts, and delve deeper into the material.
Actively participate in sessions and the virtual course (theoretical classes, seminars, and clinical sessions): Participation fosters understanding and allows for more personalized feedback.
Review acquired knowledge on a weekly basis: The amount of time dedicated to reviewing depends on individual comprehension and the complexity of the content covered in class.
Complete voluntary assessment tests: This practice helps to solidify understanding and identify areas that require further study.
Consult the recommended bibliography and raise any questions during tutorials: Supplementing class material with external resources deepens understanding, and asking questions helps to clarify complex concepts.
Use class notes as a guide: The notes from class should not replace the official materials but serve as a supplement. They can provide context for complex ideas and remind you of any particular insights shared during the class.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and the review of qualifications will apply.
This plan may be developed as long as the necessary mechanisms are available for it.
