- To know the specific dental treatment protocols for each disease process, rigorously applying the appropriate prophylaxis guidelines, requesting the pertinent complementary tests and determining the importance of completing the information with the responsible doctor.

Career options
The master is essentially practical following a "type-MIR" model. The students make direct contact with the patients and unfold their skills and competencies in a clinical way. The assistance activity is complemented with clinical sessions to discuss cases and with theoretical classes on very specific topics. Certain clinical procedures are tested in models prior to putting them into practice on patients. The extent that students demonstrate their acquisition of knowledge and skills increases the complexity of the cases to be treated.Evaluation
Continuous assessment:
Theoretical-practical, attitude and acquisition of knowledge and skills with patients, treatment and presentation of clinical cases, and carrying out research work (publications, contributions to congresses, etc.).
