The clinical activity of the Dentistry Unit covers all dental disciplines, from rehabilitation of the compromised masticatory function to smile aesthetics, medicine and pathology of the oral cavity, as well as early diagnosis of oral cancer. Particular importance is given to the prevention, thanks to the center of Oral Hygiene and Prevention, which also manages the follow-up of all patients undergoing treatment at the Unit and is in charge of early interception by means of salivary diagnostic tests and provides treatment of the most common paediatric oral diseases. For all treatments and procedures, cutting-edge instruments are used, such as laser, operating microscope, dental impression scanner and CAD-CAM technology for computerized prosthesis design.
The Dentistry Unit is also home to the Master's Degree Course in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics, the Degree Course in Dental Hygiene, and the teaching activity of the Dental Clinic at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of the San Raffaele Vita-Salute University and the International MD Medicine Program offered in English.
