If you want to update your knowledge in the field of dentistry, don't hesitate any longer. At TECH we offer you the most complete specialization in the market to reach a higher level of professionalism" 

Gingival and periodontal diseases are among the most common human diseases. Gingivitis affects approximately 50% of school-age children and more than 70% of the adult population has suffered from gingivitis, periodontitis or both. In addition, it is estimated that periodontitis is responsible for 30-35% of all tooth extractions, while caries and its sequelae account for 50%. 

With these data, it is not surprising how important it is for dental professionals to have extensive knowledge in this field, since all surgery, no matter how small, must be carried out following certain protocols that are fundamental for the good short and long term results of the surgery.  

It should also be noted that, in recent years, dentistry, and periodontics and osseointegration in particular, have undergone enormous changes, with an increase in the number of patients coming to dental clinics seeking treatments that restore optimal oral health conditions, not only from a functional but also from an esthetic point of view.  

Throughout this specialization, the student will learn all of the current approaches to the different challenges posed by their profession. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level.
