LEARNING OUTCOMES

Acquisition of the theoretical and practical knowledge in order to make a diagnosis in “implant” patients and in order to design and realize a correct implant supported prosthesis.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course the student must:
-                 be able to diagnose and realize a proper treatment plan including implant-supported fixed or removable prostheses
-                 be able to clinically identify indications and contraindications to the  different types of implant-supported rehabilitations
-                 know in detail the various types of dental implants and implant connections

-                 be able to apply the knowledge acquired in order to decide the type of dental implants and the type of implant rehabilitation best suited to realize a fixed/mobile prosthesis in a specific clinical situation
-                 have acquired a proper terminology in order to be able to identify the various
types of implant supported prostheses and their components and in order to describe the procedures
required to realize a implant-supported prosthesis with a suitable language
