A Postgraduate certificate that will allow you to keep abreast of the most recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of dental caries"

Among the main factors that influence the appearance of caries are the lack of oral hygiene, bottle or breast feeding, frequent consumption of fermentable carbohydrates or bacterial plaque. A long list and on which the dental professional must have a broad knowledge to be able to make the diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This Postgraduate certificate was created in response to the need for professionals to update their knowledge in this field. To achieve this, this 2-month program offers students an exhaustive and advanced syllabus complemented with multimedia material based on video summaries, interactive diagrams, detailed videos and specialized readings.

In this way, the professional will be able to renew their knowledge on the etiological factors of caries disease, the detection and diagnosis of caries lesions, lesion treatment, atraumatic restorative treatment or new bioactive materials. All this, with a theoretical-practical approach that will favor the refreshing of knowledge in a much more agile and simple way.

Likewise, simulations of real cases become a key element in this Postgraduate certificate, since they place the dental professional in a situation where they will be faced with problems that they may encounter in their usual clinical practice.

It is, therefore, an excellent opportunity offered by TECH to dental professionals who wish to study a quality program comfortably. It only requires an electronic device (computer, tablet or cell phone) to connect to the virtual platform and access the entire syllabus available from the first day. In addition, the Relearning system, based on the reiteration of content, facilitates the reduction of study hours, much more frequent in other teaching methods. Therefore, this Postgraduate certificate is at the academic forefront and allows students to combine their work and/or personal responsibilities with a high-level program.

Finally, it will be supported by a teaching team versed in pediatric dentistry headed by an international expert. This is a prestigious figure who has agreed to collaborate with TECH for the advancement of the profession, developing 10 exclusive masterclasses for this program. Therefore, the graduate will have access to more than an hour of videos in which different sections of the syllabus will be explained based on his experience and successful strategies.

You have a library of multimedia resources that you can access 24 hours a day"

This Postgraduate certificate in Pathology and Therapeutics of Dental Caries in Pediatric Dentistry contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. Its most notable features are:

• Practical cases presented by experts in Dentistry
