Program overview
It is a 12-18 month basic to advanced program running over three semesters. Each participant will carry out full treatments of ten cases including implant placement and their prosthetic rehabilitation. Implants as well as all clinical and laboratory supplies will be provided. The program will be run by distinguished Egyptian and German instructors of the specialty. All implant cases, prosthetic and laboratory materials, GBR materials, instruments and facilities for radiographic investigations will be provided by MIU hospital and are included in the fees. Each candidate will be trained under strict supervision(1 faculty: 1student, guided by a scientific committee, step by step until full completion of the clinical requirements and getting the permission to apply for the examination).
