Advances in the field of dentistry have encouraged the development of different areas of expertise. Disciplines such as Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, Endodontics have allowed the achievement of therapeutic results unthinkable in the past. In the field of Oral Surgery and Implantology, purely functional rehabilitation has given way to a full biological, functional and esthetic rehabilitation of patients. New materials, tools and techniques available today make dentistry a tremendously interesting discipline.

However, the wide extent of this science makes dentists need a clear concept of treatment to deal with complex surgical cases. This will avoid losing the global case perspective and repeatedly encountering undesirable surprises during treatment.

After a thorough diagnosis a treatment goal should be defined which will be pursued through a clear therapeutic concept. However, the therapeutic goal cannot be immovably established at the beginning because teeth prognosis varies during treatment. The key to solve the equation’s dynamism lies in the concept of reassessment during the different treatment phases.

The course aims to integrate the knowledge acquired by the students during 3rd, 4th and 5th year studies in order to be able to execute surgical complex case treatments in a systematic and predictable way. Once students have familiarized with the treatment concept explained during the first master classes, active student participation will be encouraged by means of clinical case discussions that will exemplify the working model.
