University Master's Degree in Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry + Lifelong Learning Master's Degree in Advanced Restorative Dentistry

The program in restorative dentistry is made up of the Master's Degree in Aesthetic Restorative Dentistry* of 120 ECTS and the Master's Degree of Lifelong Learning in Restorative Dentistry of 60 ECTS.
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.
Restorative dentistry is a broad subject, and all the knowledge involved in a Dentistry degree is required to understand it fully. It also requires a mastery of many specific techniques involved in both diagnosis and restorative treatment. These techniques mean oral rehabilitation is more comfortable for the patient and ensure a good long-term prognosis. The concept of restorative dentistry is currently integrated within the broad context of the patient as a functional unit who requires integral and multidisciplinary treatment, one facet of which is restorative treatment
