M.P.R. ORTHOPAEDICS AND ORTHODONTICS
FULLY ONLINE
Course Aim
The course is directed to Dentists and stomatologists who wish to learn the holistic M.P.R. Method of Functional Orthopaedics and Orthodontics.
The course aims to train Dentists in the practice of functional cranio-facial orthopedic and orthodontics rehabilitation with the M.P.R.
At the end of the course, the graduate will be able to apply all postural myofunctional orthopedic and orthodontic concepts to their practice.

HOLISTIC, FUNCTIONAL
INTRO
The concept orthopedics and functional orthodontics that is commonly talked about in the field of dentistry, is very limited. Rarely is the complexity of the masticatory system taken fully into consideration, even more rarely is its relation with the rest of the body discussed. M.P.R. goes far beyond classic orthopedics and orthodontics taking into consideration the cranio-cervical postural system, emphasising the relation between the masticatory system and the rest of the body. This course will give specialists the tools necessary to diagnose and treat patients looking beyond just the maxillaries, taking into account the entire cranio-cervical system, and its role on postural wellbeing.
Course Duration:
6 semesters - 14hrs/month
weekly 3-hr evening - Theory Classes
weekend 8-hr all day - Guided Practical
100% ONLINE
WITH UNIVERSITY CERTIFICATE DEGREE
The Course

What they say about M.P.R.
- Dr. Laura Gasparotti - Dentist & MusicianM.P.R. Practitioner
Since 2017
"The M.P.R. allows me to approach the patient in a comprehensive way: I no longer perform 'just dentistry': I now focus on diagnosis by the M.P.R. philosophy and work on mandibular deprogramming and clinical follow-up of patients.
- Dr. Liliam Delgado Estrada - DentistM.P.R. Practitioner
Since 2006
"The M.P.R. gave a 180 degree turn to my professional career: it was a before M.P.R., and an after. It taught me to see the patient in three dimensions. I am forever grateful for this encounter with the M.P.R. philosophy, even in the last years of my profession." - Dr. Yemmi Peña Ramíre, DentistM.P.R. Practitioner
Since 2020
"My treatments are much more comprehensive since learning to integrate a set of knowledge that helps us treat and see the patient as a whole, managing to establish priorities, reaching a correct diagnosis and correct treatment."
