The student will learn surgical treatment planning, which is part of a prosthetically driven treatment plan. The student must recognize the limitations of oral implants and surgical treatments. He/she should be able to manage the care involved in surgical treatment. The student is able to asses general medical issues in patients and their implications on the intended treatment. The student will assist with surgical procedures and perform surgical procedures under supervision. Skills will be taught through hands-on and on-chair training. By the end of this course, the student should be able to perform parts of simple surgical treatments independently. Simple surgical treatments may include:Implantology of a 1-3 implant posterior, without bone remodeling Implantology in an edentulous mandible Cawood class V-VIAbutment surgery Surgical removal of teeth The course Clinical Oral Implantology consists of three parts, namely:The clinical practicumOral care and treatment planning The clinical practicum In the reconstructive and restorative dentistry clinic, the student receives 50 percent surgical treatment time and 50 percent restorative treatment time. The focus is on developing surgical skills, organizing care and fulfilling the role of a specialist. In addition, interprofessional collaboration with master's 3 dentistry students is important. In the clinic, prosthetic treatments are performed by the master 3 students under the supervision of the staff and the oral implantologist residents in training. Surgical treatments are always performed under the direct supervision of an experienced staff member. The supervision level and difficulty of the case depend, among other things, on the student's skills and the available case. The staff member supervises the surgical treatment planning, the subsequent surgical intake and the complete surgical treatment. If necessary, (pre)clinical practicums are offered to teach and train basic surgical skills. Oral care and treatment planning During these sessions, attention is given on developing the helicopter view necessary to create a complete rehabilitation plan. The student learns to create a prosthetic-driven implant treatment plan and learns to prepare the corresponding surgical treatment. The diagnostic process is central to this process. In the working group, treatment plan presentations are made according to a fixed format, according to a schedule. The fellow students give feedback on the proposed plan, these can be students in the first, second or third year. By discussing various options with each other and substantiating them with guidelines and/or scientific literature, a relationship is established between theory, science and practice.- Practical work - Training - Supervision - IntervisionSupervision / Intervision All treatment plans are discussed with the personal supervisor prior to any treatment execution. All the treatment interventions are carried out under the supervision of a staff member of the department of Oral Implantology and Prosthetic Dentistry. Every treatment is registered and the students are provided with feedback directly during treatment and during 360 degrees feedback after the clinic. All results are registered in the students log book. Clinical skills are assessed using the Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) systematics. EPAs are related professional activities that together form the core of the Dentistry profession. When working according to the EPA systematics the gradual working towards independence is central. At the start of the educational program, the student conducts an interview with the teacher. In this conversation, the learning objectives for the student are determined on the basis of a case presentation from his or her own practice and the results of a pre-clinical test and a knowledge test. At the mid-term evaluation (formative assessment), the student must demonstrate his/her progress on the three educational components. The student must conduct a case presentation and an article presentation. This is followed by a criterion based interview. The interview is all about reflecting on the students development and supposed to help to define new learning goals. At the end of this unit (summative assessment), the student must demonstrate his/her progress and competence in the same way. In addition, the following conditions apply:A minimum of 4 EPA forms must be completed per EPA area.There are no outstanding reports of unprofessional behavior. Establishment of final judgment: The only conditional criterion to PASS is to get an at level subgrade for the interview which is only conditionally assessed on the ability to learn and reflect (competency area 7). The student will get feedback and feedforward on each part of the assessment and each competence area in order to be able to set clear learning goals for year 2.Required Clinical periodontology and implant dentistry (Lindhe) Contemporary implant dentistry (Misch) RecommendedSuprastructuren op implantaten (de Lange / Meijer) Sylabus of prothodontics for osseointegrated implants (Clepper) Osseointegration and dental implants.
