Occlusal, prosthetic and implantological rehabilitation

Recommended Prerequisites

Dental Medicine Master Degree, Medicine Master Degree with Stomatology and Maxillofacial surgery specialization;Degree in oral hygiene and dental prosthesis.

Teaching Methods

T: The theoretic themes aim to set the bases to understand the digital workflow in oral rehabilitation, integrating evidence based theoretical knowledge supported by indexed updated literature to the most advanced and proof oral rehabilitation concepts, both teeth and implant supported rehabilitations. Active interaction with students will reinforce learning and support knowledge acquisition.

PL: Practice will be set first in a laboratorial pre clinical scenario using digital tools and techniques applied to clinical models. This will allow to acquire competences to manage clinical cases, from diagnosis to the final restoration production.
