Teaching staff
Clinical practice is a fundamental part of student learning and development. Internships at the CUO are mandatory. Implant prosthetics form part of the Master's program as a whole, both in theory and in practice. The practical part, patient care, requires basic and essential personal involvement on the part of the student. Simply knowing a specific technique is not enough. Patient care, patient education, knowing how to explain a treatment plan to the patient, knowing how to diagnose, predict, and prepare a treatment plan are fundamental. Without this first part, the actual treatment is only a small part of the process. Practice leads to a substantial improvement in learning.
Introduction
Oral rehabilitation requires comprehensive knowledge of the entire stomatognathic system. The absence of teeth causes functional and aesthetic problems. Replacing these missing teeth with dental implants is one of the available alternatives.
The Master's Degree in Implantology and Oral Surgery provides the necessary knowledge to rehabilitate missing teeth from an aesthetic and functional point of view.
Pre-course requirements
Hold a degree in dentistry and have been admitted to the Master's program.
Objectives
The objectives are to acquire the theoretical/practical knowledge to perform oral rehabilitation, both aesthetic and functional, using fixed prostheses. The acquisition of theoretical knowledge to be able to apply it in clinical practice.
Competences/Learning outcomes of the degree programme
- CN01 - Relate advanced and specialized concepts in oral surgery, implantology and oral rehabilitation.
- CN04 - Recognize the origin and development of the different pathologies that affect the oral cavity, based on the transversal interrelation of biomedical sciences.
- CP01 - Plan and rehabilitate patients with unitary, partial and total edentulism with an aesthetic and functional result (adjusting the occlusion and integration of the prosthesis in the patient's mouth and face as a whole).
- CP04 - Generate work synergies with professionals from other areas and disciplines by designing joint strategies for action in oral surgery and implantology patients.
- CP08 - Carry out, through prior preparation, an aesthetic and functional oral rehabilitation treatment plan.
- HB01 - Adequately perform the anamnesis and physical examination by systems, face, neck and oral cavity to complete the clinical history, including good graphic documentation (photography and video).
- HB05 - Handle the most modern digital tools for computer-aided planning, design and manufacturing.
Learning outcomes of the subject

Diagnose oral cavity lesions and the appropriate diagnostic protocols 4. Identify the surgical techniques to place dental implants in different indications 5. Perform dental extractions with different degrees of complexity. 6. Plan surgery, implantology and prosthesis digitally 7. Perform different reconstructive/regenerative techniques in the oral cavity, both hard and soft tissues. 8. Present clinical cases and treatment plans in public and their argued defense
- - Complementary Specialties - LEARNING OUTCOMES: 1. Work in a multidisciplinary way, especially with the prosthetics, periodontics, orthodontics and endodontics departments. 2. Interpret complementary radiological examinations, especially in a CBCT computed tomography. 3. Simulate surgical and prosthetic interventions in synthetic, animal or virtual models. 4.

Identify the concepts of dental clinic management 8. Describe the materials and techniques associated with endodontic surgery 9. Simulate surgical interventions in artificial, animal or digital models.
Syllabus
The course is essentially practical, as it is carried out at the CUO (University Dental Clinic). The objective is to apply theoretical knowledge of oral rehabilitation in clinical practice, with patient care. Implant rehabilitation is based on the use of dental implants as a means of rehabilitating the oral cavity. The different types of prostheses are single crowns and multiple prostheses on implants.
Teaching and learning activities
In person
The activity is entirely in-person, at the UIC facilities. The CUO, University Dental Clinic,
is located on the -1 floor of the UIC facilities at the Sant Cugat campus. It is an in-person activity, where
students will perform practical work with patients. During CUO hours, students will perform prosthodontic treatment
approved according to the correct diagnosis and subsequent treatment plan.
Evaluation systems and criteria
In person
There will be continuous assessment, monitoring punctuality, attendance, patient care, prosthesis fabrication, steps to follow, etc. The score will be an average of all assessable aspects. This grade will be awarded to the Master's Program Management.
Bibliography and resources
For this subject, there is no theoretical content using bibliography. The resources offered by the UIC are the facilities
of the CUO, as well as the presence of patients to carry out clinical activities.
