Syllabus
Course Objectives
A) OF KNOWLEDGE (knowledge)
To provide specialized continuing education in Pediatric Dentistry and to promote theoretical and practical learning of the latest acquisitions in the diagnostic and therapeutic framing of the young patient with regard to odontostomatological problems, including techniques of approach and behavioral management
Promote scientific and technical updating, with acquisition of the ability to organize specialized practice dedicated to pediatric dentistry
Fostering a disciplinary competence that is able to provide specialized service from an interdisciplinary and cooperative perspective.
Ensure the acquisition of the student's ability to orientate himself, by means of anamnesis and objective examination, towards an appropriate diagnostic suspicion of the pathologies most commonly encountered in the developmental age, on the basis of the notions of pathophysiology already acquired in the disciplines previously covered
COMPETENCE (know how)
Colloquing with the patient
Compile medical records
Conduct a thorough clinical examination of the small patient
Suspect a potential pathology of growth and/or pubertal development
Identify the possible presence of lesions of an infectious and/or dysimmune nature in the oral cavity
Define the diagnosis and treatment plan of the main dento-parodontal pathologies in paediatric age
Interact appropriately with the young patient and their parents

Course Prerequisites
From the propaedeutic point of view, for an optimal understanding of the course, it is considered indispensable for Students to delve into the topics of embryology, physiology and general odontostomatological pathology, focusing on both physiological and pathological growth and development of the stomatognathic apparatus.

Assessment Methods
The final examination consists of an oral interview on the main subject areas covered during the lectures. The interview involves the formulation of one or more questions, possibly represented by the description of a clinical case. The ability to discuss the clinical picture and to appropriately elaborate the differential diagnosis constitute foundational elements for passing the exam. The final grade is determined by weighted average of the five modules of the integrated course with mathematical rounding.

GENERAL AND SPECIALIST PAEDIATRICS
The teaching of General and Specialist Paediatrics as part of the integrated course in Paediatric Dentistry provides for the coverage of essential topics from the disciplines of
Neonatology (e.g. care of the normal and pathological newborn; term, pre-term and post-term, appropriate weight and low weight newborn; neonatal physiological phenomena; neonatal screening, vaccinations)
Endocrinology (e.g. statural deficits; growth hormone deficiency; normal, early and delayed puberty; hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism; insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; diabetes insipidus; simple and morbid obesity, rickets, Klinefelter's syndrome, Down's syndrome, Turner)
Haematology and Oncohaematology (leukaemias; lymphomas; plateletopathies; hepato-splenomegaly)
Bronchopneumology (e.g. acute pharyngo-tonsillitis; sinusitis; otitis media; laryngitis; acute bronchitis; bronchiolitis; pneumonia; pleurisy; coughs)
Gastroenterology (e.g. vomiting; gastroesophageal reflux disease; gastroenteritis; chronic diarrhoea; coeliac disease; chronic inflammatory bowel disease); Paediatric Infectiology (e.g. exanthematous diseases; infectious mononucleosis; parotitis; whooping cough)
