Academic year 2025-2026
The University CPD Course in Surgery in Implant Dentistry (MoSID) is designed for the general dentist who has already taken the first step into the field of implantology.
The “University CPD Course in Surgery in Implant Dentistry” is intended for dentists who wish to develop their theoretical knowledge and practical clinical experience of treatment planning and maintenance of dental implants. The CPD Course programme aims to provide general practitioners with the confidence to select patients, diagnose, treat and perform implant cases. The CPD Course programme will provide an understanding of the biological basis of implantology, provide clinical training through practical trials that will enable dentists to safely perform surgical procedures and design and perform maintenance of patients with dental implants. The didactic mode of the CPD Course programme is blended: the programme combines theoretical webinar and classroom practice. It considers your time constraints and work responsibilities and is designed for those who would find it difficult to travel to the CPD Course premises. The “University CPD Course in Surgery in Implant Dentistry” allows you to recreate the dynamics of a real classroom by following the theoretical part of the programme through live lessons. The total number of CPD Course sessions is 5. Online lectures will be recorded and can be reviewed for further study.
Graduates will be able to independently plan and implement therapy concepts for the treatment of patients requiring dental implant prostheses. The course concludes with a CPD Course thesis on implantology topics that will prepare the student during the year and discuss at the end of the course.
The Istituto Stomatologico Toscano (IST), under the leadership of Prof. Ugo Covani, is the main partner of the CPD Course Program.
