A program designed for professionals who wish to gain in-depth knowledge on the techniques and diagnostic tools most commonly used today in pediatric patients"

The updating of knowledge is a key axis in the adequate performance of dental practice. At early ages, the appearance of caries and other dental trauma, typical of this stage of human development, is of great relevance for the professional due to its constant detection in the dental office. Despite the scientific debate about the appearance of this pathology at an early age, it is associated with social, cultural and economic characteristics of the population and even with the bottle habit, bacterial plaque or oral hygiene habits. This controversy, as well as the different pathologies that the professional must face, will be dealt with in depth in this postgraduate diploma.

For 6 months, students studying this program will be able to update their knowledge on the fundamentals of pediatric dentistry, as well as the pathology and therapeutics of dental caries, the diagnosis of dental trauma and the pathology and therapeutics of dental pulp. All this with multimedia content enriched by video summaries of each topic, videos in detail, interactive summaries and real clinical cases provided by specialized professionals who integrate this teaching.

A program in which, in addition, the professional will have essential readings on scientific studies, activities and assessment and self-assessment exercises, which will allow them to know the progress made during the program.
