Master in Periodontology and Implantology

The Master in Periodontology and Implantology is a second-level programme of the University of Naples Federico II, organised by the Department of Neurosciences and Reproductive and Odontostomatological Sciences. It offers in-depth training in the fundamental disciplines of odontostomatology, with particular reference to the management of periodontal diseases and edentulism, that is, the absence of teeth, and aims to train experts able to manage complex and simple clinical cases independently in periodontology and implantology. Periodontology deals with diseases of the tissues that support the teeth, while implantology replaces missing teeth with implants. The two disciplines are closely connected, because the health of the periodontal tissues affects the success of implants. The master considers them together and aims to train clinicians able to manage cases of varying complexity.

Teaching alternates theoretical sessions and practical internship, an essential component in a clinical field in which manual skill is acquired through practice. The master takes place in person in Naples. The page does not state the duration, credits and language, which is presumed to be Italian, and does not detail the programme or the internship hours. For these aspects the master's official regulations must be consulted. The alternation between theoretical sessions and practical internship reflects the clinical nature of the programme. The lessons provide scientific foundations and criteria for diagnosis and planning, while the internship makes it possible to gain operational experience, necessary for working independently. The page does not specify the length of the internship or the number of cases treated.

The aim is to prepare professionals such as implantologist, periodontist, dentist and oral surgeon. As an admission requirement the page indicates a degree in Dentistry or in Medicine with specialisation in Odontostomatology, with reference to the official regulations for specific details. The cost is €3,000. The page does not give the start date, selection, places or scholarships, information to be requested from the university before applying.
