  • Practical and theoretical modules, science communication and research projects will be evaluated every quarter or semester.
  • In order to graduate, students must have passed all the exams for the theory subjects, must have completed at least 50 clinical cases, and must have performed a minimum of 100 periodontal surgical procedures and 40 implants. At the end of the course, all students must present and defend five clinical cases, including at least two involving implants, in addition to their research project.
