 All cases in need of implant placement will be presented at this session where all students together with the faculty will discuss treatment alternatives in a comprehensive manner and by all means with solid bibliographic support. The University Departments of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Periodontics and Prosthesis are involved in these sessions.

Residents are asked to have an extensive knowledge through literature research of the cases to be presented. No case will be allowed into the session without a thorough analysis of the problem, deep clinical and radiological planning including 3D, prosthodontics pre-surgical planning and a deep review of the different treatment options.

-       Create a critical & sceptical scenario where a number of management actions can be designed for a specific clinical situation.

-       Develop among our students diagnostic skills, which allow for an integrative approach.

-       Integrate all the diagnostic tools: clinical, image, lab, in an orderly and efficient manner

-       Provoke an open-minded approach when it comes to define treatment plans

-       Understand the different between opinion & evidence based diagnosis

-       Be able to discuss and debate cases with peer colleagues

-       Awareness and dominance of all surgical and prosthetic scenarios

-       Skills in all surgical procedures to allow different exits for a given problem

-       Skills in all rehabilitation procedures to allow different exits for a given problem

-       Cone Beam CT reading & diagnostic abilities

-       Self-criticism when debating surgical alternatives

-       Ultimately be able to combine scientific evidence with clinical experience and personal skills when designing an optimal treatment plan.

-       Manage complications in an expedite and orderly manner

Residents should be able to:

-       Be self-confident when it comes to solve any missing tooth scenario.

-       Develop arguing and debating skills when it comes to defend a specific treatment plan.
