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

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.

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).

Leave your fears behind and learn the fundamentals of designing and printing your digital endodontic cases!

With this course, you will learn in a simple and practical way the step-by-step process of digital endodontic design.

For years now, digitally guided treatments have become part of the field of Endodontics.

Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies rely on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data to produce objects used in both surgical and non-surgical endodontics, as well as in educational settings.

The goal of this course is to review all current applications of 3D printing in endodontics and to learn how to design static guides for both calcified canals and apical surgery.

Forensic Dentistry is the study of resolving legal problems by applying dental knowledge. This science has an ever-increasingly broader scope which covers issues raised in civil, criminal and labour law. Dental knowledge and techniques are used to resolve issues in these fields or else contribute towards their solution. Most cases require knowledge of dental trauma, dental prostheses or dental surgery on which dental knowledge is based.

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

This programme is aimed at professionals, whether generalists or specialists, who wish to start out in or expand their knowledge in the field of endodontics. The programme combines theory sessions on the most innovative, pioneering and cutting edge subjects, alongside practical work with the latest generation of equipment and techniques.

During this practical work students will perform procedures with different magnification levels (magnifying glasses and microscopes). Students will be supervised by lecturers in their practical work. The course will include sessions following up cases and each student will have an individual tutor session with a lecturer from the UIC Department of Endodontics.

The programme offers an extensive overview of current endodontics, covering advanced basic concepts of pulpo-periapical pathology, instrumentation, refilling, reconstruction after root canal, dental traumatology, dental implants and autotransplantation. The course is intended to improve the quality of students' endodontic treatments, so that they feel more secure in tackling more complex treatments (refilling, perforations, reabsorption and dental traumatology). Regeneration and pulpar revascularisation will also be explained.

Presentation

The programme provides a broad overview of current Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry and explores both basic and advanced concepts. The aim of the course is to help students increase the quality of their restorative treatments and enable them to perform more complex treatments (tooth restoration and implants) with a higher degree of confidence.

During these practical sessions, students will have the opportunity to perform all of the procedures under different magnifying powers (magnifying glasses and microscopes). The teaching staff will supervise the students during the practical modules. The course will include case-control sessions. 

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.
