Course Summary

Overview

This three year part-time programme is for dental practitioners who would like to develop their theoretical knowledge and practical clinical experience of treatment planning, surgical placement, restoration and maintenance of dental implants.

The programme's design allows you to gain experience using dental implants and prosthodontic elements related to dental implants within a supervised environment, while treating patients. You will build your knowledge through distance learning modules and study days which include a series of hands-on exercises. You will also have the opportunity to carry out a dissertation.

We aim to produce caring, knowledgeable and skilful practitioners who are competent in the provision of the planning, surgical, restorative and maintenance aspects of dental implant treatment, within the limits of the individual clinician.

Modules

This module will provide an overview of the history and current research in the fields of biomaterials and biomechanics in relation to dental implantology. An overview of relevant anatomy and physiology will also be provided including bone physiology and the mechanisms of wound healing. Aspects of implant design and surface finish will also be covered as well as an outline of the mechanisms thought to be involved in implant failure. Implant stability and its relationship with implant success will be introduced.
