Learning objectives
The course aims to enable students to know and understand the major maxillofacial diseases and to orientate on the appropriate surgical treatment.
This does not mean the direct transfer of this knowledge on a practical application (the maxillo-facial surgery is a discipline of medical relevance), but the capacity of the practitioner to identify diseases and direct patients to an expert for a correct solution.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The students at the end of the course will demonstrate knowledge and understanding about:
- Oro-maxillo-facial embryology and anatomy.
- Congenital malformations: cleft lip and palate syndrome of the 1st and 2nd branchial arch, craniofacial dysostosis
-velopharyngeal insufficiency
