Our ground-breaking course provides training to a specialist level for dental technicians, maxillofacial prosthetists and dentists. Students are exposed to multiple teaching styles which include consultant-led clinics, chair-side guidance, small group work and close mentoring, with emphasis on the importance of evidence base in the literature. Instruction is consistent with the demands of the IMPT Curriculum for Maxillofacial Prosthodontics and recognises how this interrelates with other rehabilitation skills.

Key benefits

• Clinical consultation and hands-on patient treatment.
• Advanced technology, including 3D imaging/ modelling and 3D surgical planning.
• Pre-operative planning and creation of anatomical models from digital data.
• Participation in surgical observations and multidisciplinary team meetings.
• Dissertation, including research methodology and experimental work.

The course teaches clinical and technical aspects for the provision of facial and ocular prostheses, orbital and skull cranioplasties and obturators. It also includes recognising oral disease, infections and skins lesions directly related to the provision of intra- and extra-oral prostheses and core teaching in all restorative disciplines. Examples of research areas include: investigation into digital technologies used in colour formulation of facial prostheses, biocompatibility of titanium to hard and soft tissue for cranioplasties, bonding of acrylic to silicone and patient centred outcomes of implant treatment. This course is primarily taught at Kings College London's Guys Campus with some seminars and clinics/theatre sessions also at our Denmark Hill Campus.

Employability

For both overseas and UK/EU applicants, the course provides training to dental technicians and dentists at specialist level in maxillofacial and craniofacial technology.

Graduates will be capable of assuming a more responsible position within the field of Maxillofacial Technology. Additionally, graduates will be able to offer experience in advanced technologies and assist in the management of research projects.
