Learning unit contents

The course of Dental Biomaterials is given at 80% by Prof. A. MAINJOT and at 20% by Prof. F. LAMBERT. It follows the course of Introduction to Dental Biomaterials given in Bac 2.

Surgery biomaterials - I

PARTIM F. LAMBERT (Master I)
Partim I will focus on theoretical and practical learning of dental extractions-related materials and suture materials :

  • Suture materials, as well as the impact of their physico-chemical properties on clinical parameters and their classification (braided fibers, monofilaments, resorbable/non resorbables), biodegradation mechanisms and the interest of coatings.
  • Hemostatic biomaterials and biological glues : naturals/synthetics, collagene, cellulose, wax, gelatine, chitosan, fibrin sealant, cyanoacrylate/advantages and indications/ kinetics and biodegradable effects.
  • The various types of biomaterials used in alveolar extraction management and the impact of their physico-chemical properties
  • Selection of biomaterials depending on clinical indications
  • Selection of alveolar management techniques and integration of the level of difficulty

The course of Dental Biomaterials is given at 80% by Prof. A. MAINJOT and at 20% by Prof. F. LAMBERT. It follows the course of Introduction to Dental Biomaterials given in Bac 2.
PARTIM A. MAINJOT
The course is related to the specific characteristics of the different types of dental biomaterials, except biomaterials used in oral surgery and implantology (partim F. LAMBERT ) : a part of these biomaterials will be addressed in the course of this year, while the other part in the course of Dental Biomaterials partim 2. The study of dental biomaterials is performed through the analysis of clinical situations. Dental Biomaterials partim 1 is complemented by practical sessions in pre-clinics (work placements I DEN 3003 - Ba). These sessions are related to Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) processes and to bonding to dental tissues. Partim 2 will be complemented by work placement in clinics orientated on CAD-CAM processes and an interactive practical session on bonding to tooth tissues (work placement II DEN 3004 - Ba) .

 

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

...

Surgery biomaterials - I

The main objective of this course is to help students to acquire component skills and practice related to suture materials and their clinical application, and to be familiar with socket management techniques and with the available materials.
Sutures/hémostatics
After this course, student should be able to:

  • Make meaningful choice upon which type of suture materials, needle and point of suture has to be used, depending on clinical situation.
  • Assess alveolar preservation techniques indications, including the choice of technique and biomaterials.
  • Estimate the difficulty level of alveolar preservation interventions, to use alveolar preservation techniques considered as simple, to make a reasoned choice of biomaterials and to refer complex cases.
Ergonomics and basic alveolars managements will be performed with a practical approach (practical exercises) on pig's mouths. Moreover, various types of suture points and suture threads will be used.

Dental biomaterials - I

PARTIM A. MAINJOT
The overall objective of the course is to enable students to master the characteristics of dental biomaterials in order to better understand their choice and their use in clinical practice. After the course students will be able:






  • to understand and to know the characteristics, behavior and handling procedure of various dental biomaterials
  • to optimize the choice of the biomaterial in the aim of improving treatment quality
  • to analyze and to understand the principles of adhesion of various dental biomaterials to tooth tissues
  • to differentiate some categories of restorative dental biomaterials, to know their properties and indications
  • to implement handling procedires of these biomaterials
  • to explain the various methods of manufacturing of some restorative biomaterials
  • to understand and to analyze the relationships between structure, composition and manufacturing process of a dental biomaterial and its properties
  • to understand and to review the evolution of dental biomaterials

  • Early to the ex-cathedra course, students will be required to read an article or to visualize a video. A related questionnaire will be forwarded to students through eCampus before performing the in situ correction.
  • The interaction is focused on the participation of the students.
  • Practical exercises aiming to apply theoretical courses will be organized. Students will be required to complete a quizz through eCampus. Students should be issued boarding pass allowing access to the practical exercices.
Support documentation (scientific papers or Power Point) will be provided to students after the course has been given.

The learning method is based on the flipped classroom method. Students have to solve some clinical cases (micro-casus) before lessons through the e-learning platform. They also have to realise a video, which highlights the keypoints of the lesson. Those videos are evaluated by the teacher and allow him to discuss eventual misunderstanding. The video must be realized in order to get access to the final exam. During the lesson students interact with the teacher via polls (Socrative), which test their practical knowledge. The course includes a large amount of practical illustrations and videos. After each session a knowledge test is available online. It prepares the student for the exam. Support of the course (slides), book references, or links to internet ressources are given on the platform.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)

...

Surgery biomaterials - I
