Una Postgraduate diploma pensado para profesionales que deseen profundizar en las técnicas y herramientas de diagnósticos más empleadas en la actualidad en pacientes pediátricos” 

La actualización de conocimientos es un eje clave en el desempeño adecuado de la praxis odontológica. En edades tempranas la aparición de la caries y otros traumatismos dentales, propios de esta etapa de desarrollo del ser humano, es de gran relevancia para el profesional por su constante detección en consulta. Pese a la discusión científica en torno a la aparición de esta patología en edades tempranas, esta se asocia a características sociales, culturales y económicas de las poblaciones e incluso al hábito del biberón, la placa bacteriana o los hábitos de higiene bucal. Esta controversia, así como las diversas patologías a las que debe enfrentarse el profesional serán abordadas en profundidad en esta Postgraduate diploma.

Durante 6 meses, el alumnado que curse esta titulación podrá actualizar su conocimiento sobre los fundamentos de la Odontología Pediátrica, así como la patología y terapéutica de la caries dental, el diagnóstico de los traumatismos dentales y la patología y terapéutica de la pulpa dental. Todo ello con un contenido multimedia enriquecido por los video resúmenes de cada tema, los vídeos en detalle, los resúmenes interactivos y los casos clínicos reales aportados por los profesionales especializados que integran esta enseñanza.

Un programa en el que, además, el profesional contará con lecturas esenciales sobre estudios científicos, actividades y ejercicios evaluativos y autoevaluativos, que le permitirán conocer el progreso que lleva durante el programa.

De esta forma, TECH brinda la oportunidad a todos los profesionales de la odontología de cursar cómodamente una titulación universitaria, cuando y donde lo desee. Únicamente necesita de un ordenador o Tablet con conexión a internet para conectarse a la plataforma virtual y acceder desde el principio a todo el temario.
