• Dental hygiene (programme FVP, DENH)

Course objectives

The course is conceived as a topically theoretical-practical unit. Students learn the most important general characteristics of microorganisms, epidemiological characteristics of contagions and their prevention, with an emphasis on the specific workplace environments of dental hygiene. Students will learn the principles of prevention of professional and nosocomial infections, they will gain detailed knowledge about the principles of proper collection and transmission of infectious material and proper disposal of biological material. They will learn about the most important microbiological laboratory examination methods.

Learning outcomes

Professional Knowledge: Students can define basic methods of microbiology and epidemiology with an emphasis on preventing nosocomial infections and vocational contagion and on basic understanding of the principles of prevention and management of disease groups.
Professional Skills: Students are able to navigate the clinical microbiological and immunological methods used in diagnostic processes.
General Qualification: Students can use their knowledge in the prevention of nosocomial infections and professional environments in dental offices and dental hygiene, proper handling of biological materials and basic interpretation of laboratory results.
Competences: Students perform their work experience, providing care for clients according to the latest findings in the field, complying with the principles of asepsis and antisepsis, can provide accurate and adequate information in relevant fields.
