Would you like to gain detailed knowledge of the latest composites and the most innovative and effective techniques to apply them? This is your career opportunity to do it 100% online”

Restorative dentistry is one of the most demanded specialties in the oral and dental sectors. Oral health, linked to the aesthetics of the mouth, is a concern for the vast majority of people, so they usually go to specialized centers seeking treatment for caries, blows to the teeth, genetic malformations, wear or loss due to age or disease (such as cancer, which is currently quite common). Thanks to ongoing research in the field, as well as advances in clinical techniques and materials that are increasingly effective and efficient, dentists can provide more specialized and personalized dental care, guaranteeing the best results for their patients' needs.  

In order to bring them up to date on the latest developments in direct anterior rehabilitation, TECH and its team of experts in Clinical Dentistry have developed this comprehensive program. A 6-month academic experience for our students to delve into the latest advances in aesthetic diagnosis and techniques, as well as modern cariology and auxiliary methods to restore and reconstruct endodontic teeth. You will also gain a detailed understanding of the fundamentals of adhesion and the use of composite in rehabilitation.  

All of this through 600 hours of diverse material: from the best syllabus and real clinical cases to hone professional skills via solving simulated situations extracted from the practice of TECH professionals, to detailed videos, research articles, complementary readings and much more! Everything will be available on the Virtual Campus from day one, which our students will have access to from any device with an Internet connection, be it a pc, tablet or mobile device. They will also be able to download as a reference even when they lack access to the Internet. It is, therefore, a unique opportunity to raise your talent to the highest level via an innovative, dynamic and high-quality academic experience.
