International Blended Master's' Degree in Implantology and Oral Surgery

This training programme offers a different way of learning. Our methodology is developed through a cyclical way of learning: Relearning.¿This learning process combines real cases, the resolution of complex situations by simulation, the study of clinical cases and learning based on repetition. As a result, the content is retained in the memory for a longer period of time.

During the first part of the course, the student's activity will be focused on learning the indication and execution of oral surgery procedures (simple and complex dental extractions: third molars and included canines, root rests; braces, torus, maxillary cysts, periapical surgery, etc.).
In the second part of the course, the activity will focus on diagnosis, planning, implant placement and rehabilitation of implant cases. The student will begin by understanding the treatment of simple cases of single implants and will progress towards more complex treatments (total edentulous, aesthetic implants, immediate implants, atrophic cases requiring gum or bone grafts, sinus lift, immediate loading, etc.).

In order to achieve the objectives set, the methodology used is based on the use of the Virtual Classroom of the University of Valencia, theoretical lessons and practical workshops, clinical cases, bibliographic resources and face-to-face clinical practice.

Teaching resources:

The teaching will be carried out through the Virtual Classroom platform of the University of Valencia, available to the student, at any time, from a fixed or portable device with internet connection. Each week the different modules are opened and remain open throughout the academic year.

Voice-over lessons

The theoretical lessons will be developed through asynchronous, voice-over clinical presentations, with abundant and selected clinical iconography and diagnostic images. The texts will be available in pdf format to facilitate the student's study. All lectures will be in English and some will be in Spanish.

Practical worksho

ps

Practical workshops will be given with phantom models, which will reproduce the different pathologies and will guide the student through the surgical procedures. All workshops will be conducted in English and some will have texts in Spanish.

Clinical cases
Students will have access to real clinical cases, presented by experts, in which they will learn how to take a clinical history, make a clinical and differential diagnosis, and plan and carry out treatment.

Bibliographic resources

- Books and e-pubs published by teachers.
- Access to scientific databases.

Clinical practicals
Optional extracurricular clinical practicals with patients will be programmed in practice centres agreed with the Universitat de València, for three weeks during the academic year, organised by each of the affiliated centres or in centres freely designated by the student, in different countries, for a maximum of 900 hours per academic year. When the lecturers consider that they are qualified, the students will perform the surgeries from less to more complex depending on the skills of each student.
