Introduction
Many patients who come to the consultation to receive dental treatment are elderly, systemic diseases that
require exact knowledge of these and their implications and interactions in the dental area, cardiovascular,
immunological, endocrine, metabolic pathologies, etc. that have to be known by the dentist to carry out the
treatments correctly, safely for both the patient and the dentist. Likewise, people with some type of disability
present complex and difficult challenges for the profession to resolve. Added to this is the appearance of oral lesions
secondary to taking certain medications, interactions between them, or oral manifestations of underlying systemic
diseases. We consider all of them special patients. Currently, academic training in the degree is limited to
merely theoretical concepts and reduced clinical practice in the elderly with little risk. Patients with significant
medical compromise, with mental disabilities and who are not collaborators generate a pathology that the
undergraduate student, given his inexperience, is not able to handle with ease. The techniques, materials and
procedures in these patients are substantially different and generate possibilities to promote research. Finally,
the shortage of professionals trained in this area and the demand from specialized centers and hospitals can only
be addressed from the perspective of training programs with these characteristics.
Pre-course requirements
Degree in dentistry or Stomatology
Objectives
This master's program aims to ensure that the student acquires the necessary knowledge to be able to carry out
all kinds of dental treatments in patients with complex medical pathologies, systemic diseases with dental
repercussions, polymedicated patients, elderly patients, disabled patients, whether they are cooperative or not,
as well as know how to assess and identify all types of oral lesions, whether in the dental office, in closed institutions
or in a hospital environment. All this with the acquisition of skills in the management techniques of these patients
such as conscious sedation techniques in the dental office or in a hospital environment under general anesthesia.
Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
Train dentists who are knowledgeable about the medical and pharmacological pathologies that condition dental
treatments in elderly and disabled patients.
Train dentists capable of integrating into multidisciplinary care teams for the elderly.
Train dentists interested in research and the study of old age, disability and oral pathology.
Train dentists capable of dentally treating patients with medical or pharmacological compromise.
Train dentists capable of knowing the diagnostic management and treatment of mucosal lesions.
