Learning objectives

The aim of the course is to provide knowledge of the problems and rehabilitative needs of partially edentulous patients in order to provide all the necessary tools to be able, through a correct diagnosis, to choose the ideal treatment plan for the patient.

Geriatric Dentistry gives basic tool for a correct approach to the old and frail patient. In these, the important aspects related to the morpho-structural and functional situation of the partially edentulous patient in relation to the type of rehabilitation choice will be evaluated and discussed.

Expected learning outcomes

The student must be able to evaluate the partially edentulous patient in an integral way starting from a humanistic approach, then more strictly medical, taking into consideration the state of the residual oral structures and the functional aspect of the stomatognathic apparatus in order to reach the correct diagnosis. and choose the ideal rehabilitation for the patient himself.
