Syllabus
Course Objectives
The module aims to provide students with the theoretical basis for the study of microbial agents responsible for infections and pathologies with possible systemic involvement and microbial agents responsible for infections of odontostomatological interest.
At the end of the course, the student
should be able to know the correlations between the different pathological conditions and the possible etiological agents, know and apply the epidemiological methodology in order to analyze, understand and evaluate health and assistance problems of specific dental interest.
