do you get the opportunity to place many implants in your program and do you plan on placing your own implants upon graduation or do you aim to get a referrals practice going with perios and OMFS?

beacause especially with the new guided surgery like teeth in an hour it seems the whole process is prosthodontically driven. check the link below - it seems everything is moving in prosthos direction.

Everything is restoratively driven and as such, a few years ago it was made a part of accreditation for pros programs that the residents should learn to place implants.

i think this is one of the reasons pros is becoming more competitive to get into. are you guys using several different systems or your department prefers you to use one company?

No clue about what grad pros and grad perio use. I think they use multiple systems. As undergrads, we use the ITI system.

Hi all,
Some schools are developing programs (3-4 yr) in Implantology. Obviously not a recognized specialty. It seems to try and merge OMS and Pros. Anyone know about these programs? Loma Linda and Univ Boston have them. Thanks.
