Precision Dental Medicine

4 ECTS / Annual / Portuguese

Intended learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and competences to be developed by the students):

The practice of Precision Medicine (PDM) requires a paradigm shift with new technologies for diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and monitoring. The practice of PDM depends on the diversity and amount of patient data, as well as its integration and management, and makes health promotion processes more efficient.

The objective of this UC is to make dentists aware of the diversity of data available to them to optimize diagnosis, treatment and the patient's response to this treatment.
