Master's Degree in Oral Implantology

The Master of Science in Oral Implantology lasts one and a half academic years, during which students will acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The Master’s programme has a theoretical-practical approach aimed at providing adequate learning about the problems of surgical extraction and the subsequent phases of implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Students will be involved in modern implantology, from diagnosis to prosthetic rehabilitation, and will have the opportunity to come into contact with the latest surgical techniques and technologies. The didactic programme aims at providing basic theoretical and methodological knowledge by conveying lectures and practical laboratory activities. MEDEA’S blended didactic methodology unites traditional didactic assets with an in-house platform, creating the first e-learning virtual environment to be fully responsive, combining innovative technology with modern e-learning methods and synchronous learning moments. The course is organised through four teaching sessions in which the lesson topics will be imparted by the teachers in a gradual and complementary manner. Students will initially have the opportunity to delve deeper into the basic subjects applied to oral implantology and subsequently through the appropriate exercises they will be able to develop the application phase of diagnostic radiology to complete guided planning. The next phase will involve a detailed analysis of the bone preparation protocols of the implant sites. The different devices currently on the market will be illustrated and compared with each other to propose to the student the most suitable method for each type of implant site. The various bone tissue manipulation techniques for increasing vertical and horizontal actions will subsequently be analysed in order to optimise the stability of the implant anchorage. The subsequent session will include the evaluation of alternative techniques to bone reconstruction, illustrating the indications, planning techniques and results in the short, medium and long term. Importance will also be given to the prosthetic component starting from the taking of the impression up to the choice of the most suitable components for each prosthetic restoration and the three-dimensional morphology of the prosthetic structures. The different types of materials on the market will also be analysed, creating a reasoned and scientific comparison in order to enable the student to make an adequate choice for each implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. Each of the techniques, materials and protocols that will be analysed and described within the course will be supported by the most recent international scientific literature on the topic and compared with the teacher's experience. Students will be given adequate time to learn and understand the professional development offered within the course. One of the main objectives of this course will be the development of a critical component relating to one's choice to apply the correct protocol with the right indication for each individual case.
