OBJECTIVES

• Through this program, the student will get familiar with the principles of dental sleep medicine and temporomandibular disorders. We concentrate on the importance of interdisciplinary approach in achieving optimal results, focusing on minimally invasive dentistry as a basic premise. 
• Treatment of pain and maximising general health is a focus.
• Through an adequate functional diagnosis of the head and neck, airways, and sleep analysis through dental parameters, the student will be able to elaborate an interdisciplinary treatment, to plan and to solve these kinds of cases.

METHODOLOGY

The course will be carried out mainly through theoretical classes. Candidates can opt for hands on sessions with the faculty if desired. Submission of 5 cases with complete documentation is required for receiving the Diploma

EVALUATION

Theoretical classes will be evaluated by taking an online exam after each module. Also, each student will have to submit 5 cases with complete documentation, with a heavy emphasis on complete record-taking, correct diagnostics and treatment planning. Final qualification will be 70% of modules' exams plus 30% assessment of the cases.
