MSc Dental Implantology with PGDip Exit Route

ICE and the University of Salford jointly deliver this part-time implant programme. The first two years combine academic study with supervised surgical and restorative work at ICE Hospital; a third dissertation year leads to the MSc. Approximately 405 verifiable CPD hours are stated for the MSc.

Study structure

• Year 1: patient assessment and treatment planning, followed by implant surgery.
• Year 2: restorative treatment and maintenance, then complex implant procedures.
• Year 3: a supervised dissertation, using a systematic review or research project.

Expect around 15 lecture days and at least eight clinic days each year in the taught programme, with some assessment attendance in addition. Pre-clinical practice uses models and optional animal-head exercises. ICE supplies patients, equipment and mentors, with at least four supervised implant placements; further cases depend on experience and performance. Systems include Megagen, Osstem, Southern Implants and Inserta.

Assessment includes a clinical ePortfolio, essays, reports, presentations, posters and an OSCE, followed by dissertation work for the MSc. Most teaching is at Salford Quays, with occasional sessions at the university’s Frederick Road campus.
