Each case will be discussed and planned with the supervisor
At the end of the program, each student will be required to complete at least:

20 implant placements including surgical and prosthetic procedures
25 advanced periodontal cases including surgical procedures, prosthetic and/or orthodontic treatment, and implant placement
100 surgical procedures (access surgery, osseous surgery, muco-gingival procedures, crown lengthening)
5 full documented clinical cases must be presented according to the EFP Board exam

Theoretical component

During the three year program activities apart from clinic consist of:
Everyday case presentations and discussion of scientific literature among students and teaching staff
Practical Workshops (sutures, clinical management of patients, …)

Research component

Each student will carry out an individual research project, either in basic sciences related to periodontology/implantology or a clinical research project. Students will discuss and update the research project with the supervisor. The results of the project will be presented in a written report amenable for publication in a peer reviewed international journal, and the project will be part of the final examination.
