Introduction to the Program

Help your patients improve their oral health by completing this comprehensive program designed by TECH"

This Master's Degree in Oral Medicine is based on the student acquiring in-depth knowledge of different types of oral cavity and adjoining tissue lesions, both benign and malignant, as well as diagnostic and surgical techniques, correct treatment approaches, professional application and preventive usefulness.

It is a very useful branch, since it complements the rest of the specialties, being a fundamental pillar prior to any treatment, avoiding negligence due to the lack of knowledge and making it possible to detect and treat pathologies, which may potentially save a patient’s life.

This academic program is characterized by its dynamic methodology that intersperses clinical cases for the student to identify and associate the subject matter explained with its corresponding image, as well as questionnaires to evaluate their knowledge and test them, bringing it as close as possible to those situations that will be presented daily in the office, to be able to focus and manage them in a coordinated, efficient and planned way, all under the guidance of working professionals who will help during the learning process to achieve a complete education in all aspects.

It is based on promoting lasting and quality learning through schematically structured scientific information, always focusing on the main aspects of each pathology in order to be able to apply it in daily practice immediately after each unit.

The dentist will strengthen their personal confidence and decision-making abilities when practising, with special emphasis on diagnostic and preventive aspects, differentiating, according to specific characteristics, the different types of lesions so that their learning is fluid and effective.

As it is an online Master's Degree, the student is not hindered by fixed schedules or the need to move to a physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their professional or personal life with their academic life.

Only with adequate education will you learn the best way to advise your patients in Oral Medicine cases"

This Master's Degree in Oral Medicine contains the most complete and up to date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

  • More than 75 clinical cases presented by experts in Oral Medicine
  • The graphic, schematic and practical contents of the course are designed to provide all the essential information required for professional practice

A unique, key, and decisive training experience to boost your professional development”

Master's Degree in Oral Medicine

In the United States alone, about 53,260 people had oropharyngeal and oral cavity cancers in 2020, according to estimates from the American Cancer Society. Of that number, about 10,750 people died from them. If we put this into statistical perspective, it means that approximately 20% of those who contracted these pathologies could not be saved, which, in retrospect, is quite a considerable indicator. Faced with this scenario, it is essential to update and deepen the knowledge on how to perform correct anamnesis and treatment. It is for this reason that TECH Global University offers its Master's Degree in Oral Medicine: an online program designed by the most competent team of experts in the field that will provide you with access to theoretical components and technical procedures totally useful and innovative. Based on a Relearning teaching model that leads globally in the framework of online education, we will provide you with a rigorous scientific outline that addresses the most required trends in the market so that you can give a significant weight to your work as a professional.

Become a notable oral health practitioner

In an area as methodical and succinct as dental practice, every detail counts: knowing about biopsy and staining techniques, knowing how to elucidate between a bacterial and a fungal infection, fully understanding salivary functions and the temporomandibular joint, having the expertise to act in the face of anaphylactic shock, among many other and varied considerations. Unfortunately, many of these specific knowledge are not sufficiently addressed or deepened within the academic curriculum of the average career; it is necessary, therefore, a complete update that fits in the same way, both new technological inventions in the market, as imminent pathologies that are discovered during the practice of the profession. In TECH we train you to have enough confidence to practice a risky surgical intervention or to apply palliative techniques for oncology patients. Never before has achieving excellence in a field as broad as oral health been as easy and complete as it is today.
