#6. Postgraduate studies

Hi! As I mentioned in the previous post, a postgraduate that I would like to take would be the specialty of Pathology and Oral Medicine or implantology.

The truth as it is just the beginnings of my university life and even more so in this career, I know the specialties that it offers and it really is a lot of options that it contemplates, I have a basic notion of what each of them consists of, but in spite of it I know every specialty with depth.

I am struck by the specialty of implantology because it is one that seeks in some way or other to return the patient part of his smile, giving the notion that yes, it is possible to smile again despite having been some damage that compromised the vital integrity of their teeth, in addition to reestablishing the relationships in their craniofacial skeleton, since the majority of the people is not informed about this, the form is a bonus of the function, and if the teeth don’t have complete integrity it can generate lots of disorders that accumulate over time decreasing the quality of life of that person.

Pathology and oral medicine is also a very interesting specialty, although most people do not think so, most diseases have their origin in the oral mucosa, on the other hand the oral cavity to be exposed to the external environment is also vulnerable at the time of being invaded by infectious agents, if we don’t have preventive treatment in this situation, they can spread the septic process, even compromising the patient's life.

To take any of these specialties I have in mind that they are in Chile and in person, the truth is that I do not trust much in distance studies.
