The MSc in Prosthodontics and Implantology is designed to equip students with the comprehensive knowledge and essential clinical skills required to restore oral function, aesthetics, and health. The programme is a carefully blended mix that seamlessly intertwines advanced theoretical knowledge with extensive clinical practice enhancing expertise significantly preparing students for the complexities of advanced prosthetic care.
Clinical training is a vital part of the course and students will engage in supervised clinical practice, where they can apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings. This hands-on experience includes working with patients in areas such as fixed and removable prosthodontics, implant dentistry, and maxillofacial prosthetics. Critical to this training is developing patient management skills, which encompass comprehensive treatment planning and communication.
One of the critical components of this course is the emphasis on 3D imaging technologies. These technologies not only improve diagnosis and treatment planning but also facilitate the visualization of complex dental structures essential to the safe practice of implant dentistry. Students will learn how to leverage these advancements to create highly detailed digital treatment plans and workflows. This skill is essential for Prosthodontists, who must develop comprehensive and tailored treatment strategies for their patients.
The standard entry requirement for the course is a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) having appropriate work experience.
On commencement of the programme, you should have at least two years of demonstrable continuous postgraduate clinical experience in clinical practice as a qualified dental practitioner.
You must have current registration with the UK General Dental Council (GDC) or equivalent in another country.
You may be required to attend a professional discussion and/or provide a portfolio of work.
