ICE Dental Implantology MSc/PGDip

£9,150 per year – instalments available

During this period you will also complete clinical training and supervised clinical mentoring. We use pig and deer heads (optional) as well as model heads for students to practice before seeing patients. All patients are provided for you by ICE Hospital, ensuring your focus is on your education and training without the stress trying to find patients to fit your schedule. You will place a minimum of 4 implants (4 patients) – but can do further cases, depending on your prior experience and current performance levels. You will learn to use multiple implant systems (Straumann, Biohorizons & Megagen), which will enable you to make an educated decision regarding your preferred system for placements.

You will be assessed in various ways throughout the course. One of the main assessments is an ePortfolio of your clinical work, which you build up throughout the first two years of the course. The other assessments include essays, reports, presentations, posters, and and OSCE. For some assessments, such as presentations, you are required to come in for the day (which are additional to the academic teaching days for the module), but all written work is submitted online.

In your 3rd year you will complete a dissertation (Module 5). This builds on your understanding of research inquiry developed through modules 1-4. You will use one or more methods of inquiry (qualitative, quantitative, or systematic reviews) to develop transferable skills and a critical evidence-based approach to research. You will work with a supervisory team to either:

• Conduct a systematic literature review OR
• Conduct a research project in dental Implantology (ICE research focuses on human factors, however,  you are able to research other topics as well)
