Ankyloglossia is a condition that has gained importance and attention thanks to the desire of many families to carry out exclusive breastfeeding and, upon encountering associated problems, seek a possible explanation for the difficulty.

Ankyloglossia does not only affect paediatric patients; it leads to consequences throughout life. These include mouth breathing, difficulty pronouncing certain phonemes, a tendency to choke and poor management of food in the mouth, digestive problems in paediatric patients, and altered growth of the maxilla and mandible, among other frequently observed consequences.

In this course, we aim to establish the foundations of ankyloglossia, learn how to diagnose and treat it (if our specialty allows for such competence). We will study both diagnostic and treatment techniques, including their appropriate timing. Finally, we will address post-surgical rehabilitation to achieve the best possible treatment outcome.

Presentation

This programme is designed for students who have completed their fourth year of a dentistry degree, fifth-year students or students who have recently graduated with little or no experience in clinical practice.

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.  

Objectives

1. Offer the possibility of hands-on dental training with CAD-CAM technology at the Dental Clinic of the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya.
2. Acquire the skills needed to diagnose and examine a patient using the different digital tools we have available.
3. Introduce students to clinical practice in a digital environment.
4. Introduce the student to diagnostic software, planning and digital design.
5. Train students to use the equipment we have for dental treatments (3D scanner, CBCT, milling machines, printers, etc.).

Course description

Enrolled dentists will have the possibility of also enrolling one dental assistant free of cost in the following diploma course:Training Course On Nitrous Oxide in Dentistry for Dental Auxiliaries.

The programme offers an advanced perspective on sedation using nitrous oxide in dentistry and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but also covers concepts of the clinical pharmacology of medical gases and offers practical sessions on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of defibrillators and equipment for conscious sedation with nitrous oxide. 

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.

Presentation

Implant treatment is able to recover the aesthetics and function of missing teeth as well as the tissue surrounding them.

Knowledge of advanced implantology and periodontal techniques designed to increase the availability of bone and soft tissue offers the clinician the ability to tackle more complex clinical cases and, on the other hand, significantly improve the results across all cases that fall within the usual clinical ambit. For this reason, being able to manage such techniques has become virtually indispensible.

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.

Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) and orofacial pain (OP) are very prevalent in the general population. These syndromes encompass a large number of pathologies of the craniomandibular and cervical and scapular area. (Nearly 100% of people will experience OP at some point in their life.) CMD and OP include some of the most important symptoms of craniomandibular/cervical muscular pathologies, as well as temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), orofacial neuropathies/neuralgias (mainly trigeminal), and primary headaches (migraines, tension-type headaches, trigeminal autonomic headaches). 

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.
