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.
