Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
- Understand the definition of microorganism - Relate the importance of Microbiology at dentistry and in another areas - Distinguish a prokaryotic microorganism of a eukaryotic microorganism. - Structural characteristics of prokariotic and eukariotic microorganisms. - Metabolic characteristics of prokariotic and eukariotic microorganisms. - Understand the importance of fungi in dentistry (MED) and identify the mechanisms of antifungal agents in MED: Characterization of oral candidosis. - Structural characteristics of virus - Microbial growth - Antimicrobials and the mechanisms of bacteria resistance - Human microbiome. - Oral microbiome. - Microbiology of diseases in dentistry: dental caries and periodontic disease - Cross infection in dentistry.
Syllabus:
The program of General Microbiology will discuss the basic and fundamental concepts of the microbiological world and the importance of the microbiology in dentistry is will discuss, as the oral ecology and the principal agents of the diseases in oral medicine. - Importance of the Microbiology in the world. - History of the microbiology; Taxonomy of the microrganisms - Prokariotic versus eukariotic microorganisms and the virus. - Structural characteristics of prokariotic and eukariotic microorganisms. - Microbial growth and nutrition - Human microbiome. - Immunity of the host. - Antimicrobials and the mechanisms of bacteria resistance - Human Microbiome. - Microbiome oral. - Microbiology of diseases in dentistry: dental caries and periodontic diseases. Oral candidosis. - Cross infections in Oral medicine
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The contents are fully consistent with the objectives of the course. The workload of each of the content is also suitable for apprenticeship goals.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Presentation and discussion of relevant theoretical concepts in the classroom, self-study orientation of students by consulting annotated bibliography. Research on pertinent issues related to the matter exposed in the classroom. Two theoretical tests of continuous assessment will be done. Regarding the laboratory component, the learning results from the laboratorial work that reinforces the theoretical learning. Two laboratorial tests of continuous assessment will be done.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
Teaching methodologies (theoretical exposition, debate and guidance of self-study and laboratory work) are fully consistent with the objective of the course. The workload of each of the content is also suitable for apprenticeship goals.
