Update Course in Prosthodontics, DCM and Sleep Disorders
The course offers an overview of the evolution and current situation of all the treatment options offered by prosthodontics, from those considered "classic", such as conventional complete prostheses or removable partial prostheses, to those considered "modern" such as implant prostheses and all the techniques aimed at offering optimum aesthetics.
On the one hand, the clinical aspects are analyzed, emphasizing the importance of diagnosis and the establishment of a reasoned treatment plan, based on scientific evidence in relation to longevity and possible complications of different types of treatment, and also the aspects related to elaboration at the laboratory level and, very specifically, the so-called digital flow.
n this way, given that prosthodontics does not replace "new" treatments with "old" ones, but rather adds options, the professional can have a global vision of all the therapeutic options it can offer, satisfying the needs of the patient.
In addition, it updates the most recent concepts and research in the field of Cranio-Mandibular Dysfunction and Dental Sleep Medicine, offering a modern and current vision that is essential if these areas are to be incorporated into professional practice.

All course details
To give a global vision of all the prosthodontic modalities that can be used nowadays, from the classic treatments to the most modern techniques, such as the minimally invasive ones, including the state of the art in relation to the prosthesis on implants and, in general, the "precision" prosthesis. It also reviews the materials currently used in prosthetics and the techniques for processing them. Finally, current knowledge about craniomandibular dysfunction and sleep disorders is analyzed.
This is a fundamentally theoretical course that is given over 7 weekends, all day Friday and Saturday mornings and is accompanied by various non-clinical practice workshops.
