Taught Postgraduate Programme
The Master of Science in Implant Dentistry is a course of study that is designed to enable practising dentists to acquire basic to advanced competences within the practice of dental implantology and be able to collaborate with practitioners in other fields of specialty dentistry as a component of comprehensive dental care.
The programme is a 2-year full-time or 4-year part-time curriculum that leads a general practising dentist with practice experience for several years to a level of competence to do simple, basic to medium level of implant therapy. This is predominantly the replacement of single tooth/ multiple teeth in the anterior/posterior part of the dentition, when the anatomy is such that no/mild augmentation procedures have to be performed to create adequate conditions. Hence, a careful selection of simple cases will enable the dentist to perform comprehensive treatment planning and incorporating the installation of oral implants into his daily practice. Emphasis is placed on the maintenance of the patient with implants and the coping with complications that may arise.
All the components of the course are compulsory. Emphasis is placed on evidence based treatment planning and clinical practice. The curriculum consists of 2 major clinical courses (Clinical Implant Dentistry I, II) and an individual project leading to the presentation of a dissertation. Other courses include core courses, seminars, discipline-specific and inter-disciplinary clinical case conferences, clinical sessions, self-guided studies, ad hoc meetings, practical demonstration sessions, and journal-based learning and interactive electronic sources.
