Oral Implantology is a discipline widely used for prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with single, partial and complete edentulism. This rehabilitation includes a diagnostic and planning phase, a surgical act in which implants are installed and finally the preparation and placement of the prosthesis in the patient's mouth.
The clinical practice of prosthodontics with patients at the University Clinic of Dentistry ( CUO ) will serve to reinforce the theoretical knowledge acquired in lectures, seminars and pre - clinical practices. Students visit patients for the first time, perform a complete diagnosis and develop a treatment plan , interim or transitional prostheses and possible alternatives. After installing the implants and healing , the student must follow a step by step procedure (impression taking, structure try-in, colour try-in) to manufacture the prosthesis and finally deliver it to the patient. The aim of this clinical practice is to guide the student so that he/she can perform an oral rehabilitation, from the diagnostics to the installation of the prosthesis. The students of the second year, will provide treatments with increased difficulty.

Mandatory attendance to lectures, laboratory and seminars held at other times of the program and successfully finished the previous year of clinical practice.

The aim of this course of clinical practice is that students can diagnose, develop a treatment plan and eventually rehabilitate their patients visitting the University Dental Clinic (CUO). Difficulty of the cases treated will be higher than the previous year.

• Treat a patient with a multi disciplinary approach
• To make a proper diagnosis in implant prosthodontics
• Perform treatment plan and alternatives
• Use and gain competency with planning software
• Perform planning for guided surgery
• Dominate the step by step for implant prostheses in patients with single unit and partial edentulism
• Rehabilitation of patients with single unit and partial edentulism.
• Perform CAD-CAM prosthesis

• Know how to treat a patient with a multi disciplinary approach
• You'll learn how to make a proper diagnosis in implant prosthodontics
• Know to make a treatment plan and alternatives
• Will make radiological and surgical guides
• Know to plan with planning software
• Perform planning for guided surgery
• Dominate the step by step for implant prostheses in patients with single unit and partial edentulism
• Rehabilitate patients with single unit and partial edentulism
• Know to perform CAD-CAM prosthesis

Application of theoretical knowledge in order to make a proper welfare work:

• Dental Photography
• Use of Semi-adjustable articulator
• Preparation of radiological guides
• Management of cone beam tomography (CBCT)
• Preparation of surgical guides
• Temporary prosthodontics
• Management planning software
• Planning and preparation for guided surgery
• Abutment selection
• Step-by-step on implant prosthodontics
• Impresion taking (conventional and digital)
• Immediate loading
• CAD-CAM prosthesis with different systems

Assistance activity, which involves visiting patients to make a diagnosis and a treatment plan that allows the placement of dental implants safely and predictably. Subsequent rehabilitation of the implants placed.

There will be continuous assessment of student progress. Practical knowledge is evaluated at the end of each quarter and at the end of the academic year. Attendance to these clinical practice is considered mandatory to obtain the title of Master.
