Practical Module of the Master’s Program in Periodontology at UCM

Description

The Practical Module of the Master’s Program in Periodontology at the Complutense University of Madrid is an intensive two-day program (September 10 and 11, 2026) designed for dentists, periodontists, and oral surgeons seeking to incorporate advanced microsurgery into their daily clinical practice. Through highly practical training, participants will develop skills in microvascular anastomoses, peripheral nerve management, and complex flap elevation, including TRAM, inguinal, and perforator flaps.

These skills are directly applicable to key procedures in the specialty, such as guided tissue regeneration, the treatment of multiple recessions, peri-implant soft tissue surgery, and the prevention of neurosensory complications. The course combines theoretical sessions with supervised exercises using a surgical microscope, employing experimental models that accurately simulate the challenges of human microsurgery.

This hands-on module takes place entirely in the high-fidelity operating rooms of the Jesús Usón Center for Minimally Invasive Surgery (CCMIJU) in Cáceres, an international leader in microsurgery training. The practical sessions are conducted using state-of-the-art surgical microscopes, specialized equipment, and experimental models that replicate the conditions of human vascular and nerve surgery. The training is highly supervised, with small groups ensuring personalized attention. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate from the Complutense University of Madrid.
