Course description

One of the main skills of the dental hygienist is to perform a good mechanical scaling and root planing treatment. In most courses, participants learn these techniques working on a phantom head.

Taking the course at the Faculty of Dentistry at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya allows students to use the University Dentistry Clinic facilities and practice with real patients.

Assessment method

An online self-assessment test will be carried out at the end of the course so that students can assess the  achievement  of their personal goals and their knowledge of the content of the course.
