Every dental and dental technology task places individual demands on the corresponding various dental treatment concepts, prosthetic procedures and materials to be used. The close interaction between dentistry and dental technology often determines the long-term success or failure of a (prosthetic) treatment. This module examines the interaction between dentistry and dental technology, analogue and digital dental technology and suitable material selection against the background of a complex application - dental implantology.

1. basics and categorisation of implants and implantation methods
2. indications, contraindications - prosthetic and surgical aspects
3. diagnostics and planning
4. implant materials, importance of surface quality
5. design principles of implants from a prosthetic point of view
6. design principles of implants from a surgical point of view
7. surgical procedure
8 Implants for extensive bone deficits
9. prosthetic restoration
9.1 Fixed
9.2. removable
9.3 Material and material selection
9.4 Advantages and disadvantages of prosthetic treatment concepts
10. modern concepts for implant prosthetics
11. navigated implantology
11.1 Navigation systems
11.2 Fabrication of CT and drilling templates

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Oral presentation, with written elaboration or
• Written examination

• Work practical

The examiners choose the type of examination from the options provided and inform the students at the beginning of the semester.

- Presentation: 20 minutes; accompanying paper 5-10 pages
- Written examination: see applicable study regulations

- Work sample (practical): A complex practical work sample corresponding to the dental workflow must be submitted in accordance with the specific instructions of the lecturer. This is created during the semester as part of the practical training.

Students can determine and define special and complex dental treatment concepts. In addition to standard procedures, they can also describe approaches for special patient cases and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of dental medicine/dental technology procedures.

Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module have knowledge that is very detailed in individual areas of dental technology/dentistry and at the same time have a general knowledge of workflow dentistry/dental technology and interdisciplinary cooperation.

After completing the course, students will be able to distinguish individual patient cases from standardised textbook situations and discuss suitable treatments and procedures in detail.

Graduates of the module collect the available information on the basis of real patient cases, assess the individual patient situation, interpret the requirements for the prosthetic restoration and derive suitable procedures and treatment methods. 

Students can present the results of their case studies orally and in writing in a clearly structured form. They can communicate the interdisciplinary cooperation between dentistry and dental technology in a way that is understandable to a wide audience.

Students are able to reflect on the role of the person providing treatment and the role of the people in the manufacturing laboratory. They contextualise the challenges in the practice of dental technology when dealing with complex materials, technics and products in individual patient cases.
