Introduction to the Program

Improve your knowledge through this program, where you will find the best teaching material with real practical cases. Learn here about the latest advances in the speciality to be able to perform quality dental practice"

In recent years, dentistry in general and periodontics and osseointegration in particular, have undergone enormous changes. More and more patients are coming to dental clinics seeking treatments that restore not only functional but also esthetic optimal oral health conditions.  Periodontics is not on the margin of these demands and, together with Implantology, is immersed in a profound change of therapeutic paradigms.

This Master's Degree, therefore, is proposed as a solution to the growing demand of patients requesting periodontal and implantological treatment in dental clinics, as well as to the increase of professionals seeking in Periodontics a solution to the problems encountered in the clinic. This Master's Degree will review all the modalities of periodontal and peri-implant diagnosis, treatment and maintenance, providing the clinician with an update in the knowledge of the discipline. Students will find a program that covers the etiopathogenesis of periodontal diseases, basic and surgical therapeutics, as well as novel approaches to regenerative therapy in periodontology. It also provides diagnostic and implantological treatment approaches, which complement periodontal treatments.  

The program is designed to provide online specialization equivalent to 60 ECTS credits and 1,500 hours of study, and all theoretical and practical knowledge is presented through high quality multimedia content. Analysis of clinical cases is prepared by experts, with master classes and video techniques that allow the exchange of knowledge and experience. This course aims to maintain and update the skill level of its members, create protocols for action and disseminate the most important developments in the speciality. With online specialization, students can organize their time and pace of learning, adapting it to their schedules, in addition to being able to access the contents from any computer or mobile device.
