Master´s Degree in Advanced Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry - Máster Universitario en Odontología Restauradora Estética Avanzada

Dentistry is one of the Health Sciences and, as such, the professionals who practice in this field must be trained to prevent, diagnose and treat the different oral diseases suffered by their patients. They also need to take into account the characteristics and needs of the society in which their practice is based.

Restorative Dentistry is the branch of Dentistry that is responsible for treating occlusal-masticatory function and anatomy, speech and aesthetics related to the stomatognathic system. All of these issues are caused by caries, periodontal disease or trauma, and are treated with dental prosthetics or adhesive dentistry procedures. The incorporation of techniques involving dental adhesion and dental hard tissues has had a significant impact on dentistry. In terms of human prosthetics, a dental prosthesis is a procedure that artificially restores the absence of one, several or even all of the teeth and their adjacent tissues. Dental therapeutics, in traditional terms, refers to restoring areas of the mouth without affecting the teeth as a whole. Procedures relating to adhesive dentistry, dental therapeutics and dental prosthetics consist of using several types of materials that adhere to dental hard tissues (enamel or dentine). Once they have bonded to the tooth surface, the materials and tooth behave as a single unit. Thanks to new adhesion techniques and new dental materials, over the last few years the term Restorative Dentistry has emerged in the dental profession in Europe and the United States of America, as a meeting point between two prosthetics and dental therapeutics, two areas that were initially different and now share the same goals and therapeutics.
