Study Details: Two years, September start
Our ground-breaking course provides training to a specialist level for dental technicians, maxillofacial prosthetists and dentists.
Students are exposed to multiple teaching styles which include consultant-led clinics, chair-side guidance, small group work and close mentoring, with emphasis on the importance of evidence base in the literature. Instruction is consistent with the demands of the IMPT Curriculum for Maxillofacial Prosthodontics and recognises how this interrelates with other rehabilitation skills.
The course teaches clinical and technical aspects for the provision of facial and ocular prostheses, orbital and skull cranioplasties and obturators.
It also includes recognising oral disease, infections and skin lesions directly related to the provision of intra- and extra-oral prostheses and core teaching in all restorative disciplines.
Examples of research areas include: investigation into digital technologies used in colour formulation of facial prostheses, biocompatibility of titanium to hard and soft tissue for cranioplasties, bonding of acrylic to silicone and patient-centred outcomes of implant treatment.
This course is primarily taught at King';s College London's Guy';s Campus with some seminars and clinics/theatre sessions also at our Denmark Hill Campus.
