Module 1.1 Scientific Research work and documentation (7 ECTS)
This module introduces aspiring dental scholars to the tenets of rigorous scientific inquiry and meticulous record-keeping within the domain of personalized oral implantology and periodontology. Through immersive exploration of research methodologies such as randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, students acquire the acumen to discern evidence-based practices and critically assess literature. Practical application includes mastering methodologies like cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for precise preoperative assessment.
Module 2 Fundamentals of Surgery (8 ECTS)
This module is a cornerstone in nurturing a profound comprehension of surgical techniques intrinsic to oral implantology and periodontology. Students delve into principles of atraumatic extraction, socket preservation, and minimally invasive flap designs. Employing simulation tools, they master the nuances of incision placement, tissue reflection, and suturing techniques. Proficiency is honed through vertical and horizontal ridge augmentation exercises, ensuring the competence to address bone deficiencies for implant placement.
Module 1.2 Scientific Communication (3 ECTS)
In the advanced phase, this module builds upon the foundational concepts, focusing on the practical application of rigorous scientific inquiry and meticulous record-keeping in personalized oral implantology and periodontology. Students delve into research methodologies like randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews, honing the ability to discern evidence-based practices and assess literature critically.
Module 3 Fundamentals of Periodontology (5 ECTS)
Focusing on periodontal wellness, this module encompasses the gamut from gingival anatomy to probing depths. Students dissect the role of matrix metalloproteinases in periodontal pathogenesis and hone their skills in periodontal charting. With a grasp of concepts like furcation involvement, they chart strategies for interceptive periodontal therapies, exemplified by subgingival debridement and locally delivered antibiotics.
Module 4.1 Compromised Patients Fundamentals (6 ECTS)
This module thoroughly addresses the complexities of managing patients with intricate medical histories. Through case-based discussions, students navigate scenarios involving anticoagulant therapy in periodontal surgery or diabetes management in comprehensively addresses the art of translating intricate dental research into comprehensible discourse for both colleagues and patients. Through rigorous practice, students develop eloquence in explaining topics like guided tissue regeneration and crestal sinus lift techniques. Bridging the clinical-patient interface, they learn to elucidate the benefits of periodontal maintenance procedures and the relevance of oral hygiene practices in mitigating peri-implantitis risks.
Module 4.2 Compromised Patients (3 ECTS) Implantology and Periodontology Speciality
Building upon foundational knowledge, this module illuminates the interdisciplinary dimensions inherent in the management of medically compromised patients within the context of implantology and periodontology. Encompassing diverse medical conditions, such as hematologic malignancies, and systemic diseases, students gain proficiency in correlating and treating compromised patients. Through comprehensive exploration, they acquire the ability to discern indications, contraindications, and optimal management strategies for each unique case, drawing insights from fields such as endocrinology and hematology to inform treatment planning.
Module 5 Personalized Implantology (8 ECTS)
Anchored in the ethos of personalized medicine, this module equips students to harmonize patient-specific attributes with implantology paradigms. Topics encompass designing implant-abutment connections for patients with varying bone densities, utilizing CAD/CAM technologies for patient-specific surgical guides, and selecting implant surfaces optimized for host biology. Clinically, this translates into customizing implant placement based on bone quality and utilizing immediate provisionalization in anterior esthetic zones.
Module 6 Master thesis and Oral Exam (20 ECTS)
The culmination of the program, this module endows students with the canvas to undertake substantive research endeavors. Examples include elucidating the efficacy of growth factors in enhancing osseointegration or investigating the impact of prosthetic design on peri-implant tissue health. The oral examination evaluates their ability to elucidate complex concepts such as the influence of implant angulation on biomechanical stability, showcasing comprehensive mastery.
