Master

The Master in Conservative Dentistry and Aesthetic Prosthodontics offers a didactic/clinical course, on the direct and indirect restorative aspects as well as the adhesive prosthodontics, in the light of modern science on enamel-dentine adhesion.

The course includes theoretical and practical lessons on the principles of today's conservative and reconstructive dentistry and rehabilitative prosthodontics, along with practice on patients, which will be carried out at the Department of Restorative Dentistry and the Department of Dental Prosthetics of the University of Bologna.

Master's students will be given the chance to choose between two different programs:

The first will be mainly focused on conservative dentistry, with particular attention to the aesthetic restorative management of complex cases and the establishment of therapeutic protocols validated by the most recent scientific literature. Through an in-depth examination of the relationship between conservative dentistry, endodontics, periodontics, and prosthetics, the participant will acquire the necessary tools for the management of direct and indirect aesthetic restorations, as well as the methodologies of basic and clinical research, for the critical analysis of the related literature.

The second program will be concentrated on prosthetic dentistry focusing on the rehabilitation of the patient, through the use of partial or total dentures and fixed prosthesis made on natural and implant abutments.

Students will have the opportunity to learn management of complex clinical cases, through the choice of a treatment plan, in which prosthetics is interrelated with periodontics, implantology, and orthodontics.

Advanced protocols will be used, with the possibility of choosing between a traditional approach and one that takes advantage of the newest digital technologies.

The Master aims to train professional dentists in the elaboration of interdisciplinary treatment plans, with emphasis on aesthetic conservative rehabilitation, as well as in the management of complex clinical situations, through a modern, preventative, rehabilitative and aesthetic approach.
