Learning Objectives - Part A
Educational objectives related to the different macro-areas of the course :
MECHANICS OF MATERIAL POINT AND RIGID BODY
Equalize the level of knowledge of the problems and methods for students from different schools; Introduction of the language and concepts necessary for the understanding of more complex physical and chemical phenomena that govern the physiopathology of man. In particular, the chapters on statics of rigid bodies and elasticity of the materials constitute specific knowledge that cannot be ignored in the dental field .
THERMODYNAMICS AND PHYSICS OF FLUIDS
These concepts are the basis for the understanding of a substantial part of the physiopathology of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system.
PHYSICAL BASIS OF CLINICAL MEASURES AND ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY .
Without these it is not possible to understand the physical basis of electrophysiology. This knowledge also forms the basis for the understanding of how complex and specialized equipment operate.
PHYSICS OF IONIZING RADIATIONS.
These basic concepts are fundamental, considering in particular the use of X-ray that is done in the dental field. Moreover, the physical basis related to protection against ionizing radiation and the problems related to prevention must be known.
