• To be familiar with the various treatment options available to patients regarding implant supported prostheses
• To understand the importance of maintenance of fixed and removable implant prostheses
• To have an appreciation of the various bio-mechanical complications in implant dentistry and their management

How you will learn

Lectures and small group teaching on Unit 9 study days. Distance learning package delivered via Blackboard including additional ‘podcast’ lectures/videos and directed reading. This unit runs concurrently with the Clinical Practice attachment Unit and is closely linked with it, teaching is therefore supplemented by one to one teaching and observation of clinical practice.

Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit. The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
