OMP Oral Disease and Medicine and Odontostomatologic Diagnostics

The Master in Oral Pathology and Medicine and Odontostomatologic Diagnostic makes professionals independent in carrying out an accurate clinical history, in understanding pharmacological interactions and oral manifestations of systemic pathologies, and the systemic  outcomes of oral pathologies, and in prescribing and interpreting laboratory and imaging diagnostic examination methods. The course includes lectures once a month during the academic year, and the option of attending the unit for practical and clinical activities, as well as surgical practice in the treatment of mouth and systemic diseases with oral expression.

Students will have the chance to carry out training activities on patients, with the help of professors, and follow their therapeutic diagnostic path. During lectures, there will be the option of discussing clinical cases. Also, they will have the option of attending the general OR for observational purposes.

The Master in Oral Pathology and Medicine and Odontostomatologic Diagnostic is addressed to graduates in Medicine and Surgery, with qualification in Orthodontics, and graduates in Orthodontics and Dental Prosthetics, who wish to acquire and explore notions of mouth diseases and pathology.

The knowledge acquired may be applied in day-to-day clinical practice, with greater confidence in tackling the most difficult clinical cases.
