Course Description

Our postgraduate Dental Implantology course provides the busy General Dental Practitioner with a part-time educational route to acquire the skills and knowledge required of a Dentist with Special Interest (DwiSI). Students can study for an MSc over two years.

Dental Implantology aims to develop a critical understanding and the ability to evaluate the clinical theory, practice and associated research applied to the practice of dental implantology as a mode of referred treatment.

Our postgraduate course will provide you with the opportunities to apply the clinical theory, practice and associated research in the provision of dental implantology within the primary care setting. This course focuses on contemporary practice, teaching evidence-based principles and systems to ensure an optimal outcome for the patient and practitioner.

Course Description

UCLan’s MSc in clinical implantology in association with VSSAcademy™ is designed to give GDPs a solid academic and practical foundation in implants.

Catering to the needs of busy practitioners through mixed online and practical learning, the MSc gives delegates the scientific background and confidence required to place and restore implants with confidence.

Patients are provided for clinical treatment, enabling every delegate to personally place an average of 4-10 implants under clinical supervision in approximately 3-4 patients over the 15 clinical days.

The course covers full CBCT training, fresh cadaver clinical training, and a digital workflow and laboratory training day, with one-to-one training and support provided throughout.

Postgraduate students have full access to UCLan’s extensive online library, so they can review all the articles they require for their studies.

Once initial training is completed, delegates have access to continuous post-learning support and mentoring to ensure the safe and effective transfer of knowledge and skills into practice. Professional relationships with mentors are maintained beyond the initial course to provide guidance and advice where necessary as delegates begin planning and placing dental implants on their own.

Syllabus Highlights

  • Treatment planning and selection
  • Basic sciences for implant dentistry
  • Implant design and biomechanics
  • Surgical skills
  • Occlusion
  • Restoring implants
  • Bone defects
  • Complications and their management

Course Description

This three year, part-time programme is for dental practitioners who want to improve their skills within the discipline of implant dentistry. This course provides exemplary one to one supervision within a private clinical practice setting alongside theoretical teaching to support you on your journey to become a confident implantologist.

A newly curated curriculum matches the purpose-designed Dental School located in Bristol city centre. Here, you will cover the basics of implant surgery science, restoration and surgical planning in the first year and build on this knowledge across the second year, with hands-on practical and simulation exercises to support your learning. In the third year you have the opportunity to complete a dissertation on the topic of your choosing.

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. Access outstanding resources through the Clinical Skills Suite at our new School and the Vesalius Clinical Training Unit.‌‌

Bench fees are charged for this programme (detailed below). The bench fees are to cover clinical costs, such as sourcing a patient for students to work on, materials for practical sessions and clinical supervised environment.

The first two years contain three units each, two of which are theory-based modules with hands-on sessions and one clinical module where patients are provided, spread over the academic year (September-July). They are designed to suit a working dentist seeking part-time studies.

Year 1 and 2 will require approximately 20 attendance days each, plus additional distance learning sessions and assessments. In year 3, you will work (distance learning) with a supervisor to complete a dissertation in a subject of your choice related to dental implants.
