The MSc Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics is a six-year programme.
Its main educational objective is to provide the theoretical knowledge and technical skills necessary to practise dentistry according to the standards shared by dental schools of the European Union. In particular, all graduates will receive adequate and high-level training for advanced practice in Dentistry and skills oriented towards various specialisations or related thematic areas of scientific research.
In general terms, the first two years of the MSc Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics include the study of the structural organisation and vital functions of the human body and comprise courses addressing issues related to the dentist–patient relationship and the understanding of the principles underlying scientific methodology. The following three years include the study of medical, surgical and specialist disciplines, with particular reference to clinical issues related to dental pathologies, oral semeiotics, neuromuscular disorders of the head and neck, and oral manifestations. Educational activities are carried out alongside the study of dental disciplines and the professionalising clinical internship. The sixth year includes professionalising educational activities aimed at treating patients with dental and stomatological problems. The planned seminar-based frontal teaching is mainly aimed at interdisciplinary discussion of assigned clinical cases.
Pursuant to Articles 1 and 3 of Law No. 163 of 8 November 2021, the final examination for the award of the MSc in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics – LM-46 class – qualifies graduates to practise as dentists. To this end, the aforementioned final examination includes the completion of a practical test of the professional skills acquired through a practical internship carried out within the MSc programme. This test is intended to assess the candidate’s practical preparation for qualification to practise and precedes the dissertation defence.
Upon completion of the MSc programme, graduates will have acquired the knowledge and technical skills to enter the dental profession, both in the public and private sectors.
Language of instruction of the programme:
- Italian is the language of instruction throughout all six years for students enrolled from the academic year 2023-2024 onwards.
- English is used during the first two years and Italian from the third year onwards for students enrolled from the academic year 2020-2021 to the academic year 2022-2023.

Job Opportunities
Graduates of the Master Degree Course in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics can practice the dental profession following the passing the State exam and the enrollment in the Order of Dentists.
They will be allowed to practice the dental profession in the various roles and clinical, sanitary and biomedical professional fields.
They will also be able to perform managerial activities of 1st and 2nd level in facilities of the National Health Service, in accordance with the current laws.
Job opportunities of UniCamillus students ontologically have a further international vocational outlet, with particular reference to areas of the world in which health deficiency is higher and often tragic. The Athenaeum invites to enrol young students with a strong humanitarian vocation, and who can potentially dedicate, if not all, at least part of their professional life in service of less fortunate populations of the South of the World.
Moreover, considering that many students of this University come from such countries, it will be inevitable – through precise placement actions developed by the University thanks to its international network – to supply sanitary centers of developing countries that are currently counting (a bit too much) on voluntary work of health professionals of Western countries, by trying to increase the number of local health professionals.
Teaching mode and activities
Courses are divided into semesters.
Integrated courses are the mandatory courses expected from the study plan. They are made of various courses, that may even be of different scientific-disciplinary areas, with the purpose of achieving a common specific educational objective.
Elective courses are carried out only in the areas of optional educational activities, and they include academic lectures and/or seminars.
Type of teaching modes. Within the courses it is defined the division of the CFUs (Crediti Formativi Universitari; “University Educational Credits”) and of the educational timing in the various forms of teaching, as follows:
Ex-cathedra lessons: It is defined as an “ex-cathedra lesson” (from now on “frontal lesson”) the discussion of a specific subject identified with a title and that is part of the educational curriculum intended for the Study Course, carried out by a Professor, according to a pre-determined calendar, and imparted to students regularly enrolled in a specific year, even divided in smaller groups.
Seminar: The seminar is an educational activity with the same characteristics of the frontal lesson, but it is carried out by more Professors simultaneously, even pertaining to different disciplinary fields (or with different competences), and, as such, it is recorded in the lesson registry. Also clinical-pathological Conferences eventually carried out in clinical teachings are recognized as seminar activities.
Professionalizing educational activity: Clinical practice activities are aimed at making the students gain specific professional skills and competences. The responsibility of planning and organizing the clinical practice devolves to a Coordinator of professionalizing educational activities, who avails of Tutors with the same professional profile or who belong to a similar scientific disciplinary field, with a consolidated professional and educational experience, assigned with roles to the didactic structure and chosen in accordance with health facilities where the educational activity is carried out. In the internship facilities, health professionals are chosen as referents/supervisors and cooperate during the conduction of the internship.
Dental Laboratory
UniCamillus has an innovative laboratory for practical and professional dental activities aimed at our MSc Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics students. It also allows for the simulation of clinical activities.
The laboratory features 24 high-tech dental workstations for students, as well as a workstation for the tutor. The tutor’s workstation is equipped with a surgical operating lamp with an integrated camera, ideal for ensuring effective, direct, and precise communication during training with students. Each individual workstation is equipped with an LCD monitor capable of instantly transmitting the practical demonstrations of the tutor through the Easy-Teach software. Each workstation consists of four Smily simulators which form a circular island, enabling the tutor to carefully monitor students’ work in real-time while at the University.
Programmed teaching
Programmed teaching refers to the full set of courses, corresponding ECTS credits, and scientific and disciplinary areas planned for the entire programme of the reference cohort (year of enrolment).
