Dental surgeon qualifications
I'm translating a Mexican dental surgeon's professional qualifications and diplomas. In general, dental surgeons use the initials CD (Cirujano Dentista). But a few of them use CDEP, including one of the dental school administrators, "CDEP José Salgado."
I have checked a number of dental web sites, including that of Mexico's National College of Dental Surgeons, but can't determine what CDEP stands for. By itself, EP can mean Estomatología Pediátrica (Pediatric Oral Health) or Endodoncia Pediátrica (Pediatric Endodontics), among other things. But what's the standard meaning of CDEP?
Thanks for your help.

Selected
Dental Surgeon Specialising in Periodontics
Or Periodontology; I think either is acceptable.
In Spanish: "Cirujano Dentista Especialista en Periodoncia".
A number of the people mentioned in Mexican websites as C.D.E.P. seem to periodontologists. The following site seems to be to support this interpretation of the acronym:
"Universidad de Guadalajara
Especialidad en Periodoncia
M.C.M. Cecilia Robles Gómez
Grado: Maestría en Ciencias Médicas Orientación en Periodoncia.
Dr. José Velasco Neri
Grado: Doctor en Neurociencias
C.D.E.P. Luis Miguel de La Isla Gálvez
Grado: Especialista en Periodoncia
C.D.E.E. Francisco Fidel Félix Fregoso
Grado: Especialidad en Endodoncia"
