Learning objectives
The goal of this course is to give to the student the basic knowledge concerning the surgical problems of oral pathologies, that a dentist can face in this practice. It’s fundamental that the student apply practically at least a part of what he learns in the theoretical part of the course. This is why practical exercises are conducted on dummies and in the surgery rooms of the dentistry ad maxillo-facial units
