Would you like to be able to apply the most innovative, effective and long-lasting whitening and waxing techniques? Get to know them all with this magnificent Postgraduate diploma”

Advances in technology have also greatly benefited clinical dentistry. A clear example of this is the use of digital photography as a diagnostic and communication tool, thanks to which it is possible to detect conditions that are not visible to the naked eye. This tool produces images of the treatments to be applied for the purposes of, on the one hand, informing the patient of potential results and, on the other, keeping track of the patient's progress. Society is increasingly concerned about oral health, not only in terms of care and disease prevention, but also in terms of aesthetics. However, the debate as to whether the eyes or the smile is more personal is still to be resolved.  

The design behind this comprehensive Postgraduate diploma in Aesthetic Diagnostics is based on TECH's principle to offer a wide range of postgraduate academic programs, and its purpose is to provide Clinical Dentistry professionals with an update course in the field. Specialists will be able to delve into the latest developments in facial and smile analysis, as well as the most innovative techniques in whitening, waxing and applied periodontics. They will also work with the latest imaging tools and their application in dentistry.  

All this in a six-month, 100% online academic experience that includes 750 hours of diverse material: the syllabus, prepared by a teaching team specialized in the area, use cases extracted from their consultations and diverse additional material presented in different multimedia formats. That way, our students will be able to update their knowledge based on their needs and requirements, without having to worry about face-to-face classes or fixed schedules. Moreover, the flexibility of the Virtual Campus will allow them to connect whenever you want and from any device with an Internet connection, whether a PC, tablet or mobile device.
