Fixed & Removable Prosthodontics - MClinDent

Our Fixed & Removable Prosthodontics MClinDent is a comprehensive restorative dentistry programme focusing on fixed and removable prosthodontics, designed to advance skills in complex multi-disciplinary dental problems.

Designed for dental practitioners in high-level practice, you will use these skills in your own practice throughout the course. This course is mostly delivered online, so you can study anywhere in the world with minimum disruption to your professional and personal life while benefitting from world-class teaching.

An invaluable way to consolidate learning, and network with peers and teachers, you will benefit from between 9-10 days of continuous intensive training and learning in each of years one to three. Students may now choose to attend this in London or Dubai, at state-of-the-art clinical training facilities in both locations.

Please note - Clinical support for FRP students is provided through:

• clinical case discussion for diagnosis and treatment planning
• comprehensive tutor feedback on clinical work completed in practice
• case discussion opportunities during the face to face teaching blocks
• tutor guided online seminars for case discussion and treatment planning

While advice regarding patient treatment is given by our experienced clinical team, the clinical responsibility for patient treatment remains with the clinician providing the treatment.

Intensive face-to-face training blocks

Delivered primarily online, the course also provides 28 days of intensive teaching and practical training in London or Dubai over the first three years. Our expert tutors will give you guidance on complex dental procedures at specialist teaching centres. When you apply for the course, you will be able to opt to attend either at LonDEC in London or at the 3M Innovation Center in Dubai. Places at both centres are subject to availability and early application is advised to secure your preference. These blocks are an invaluable way to consolidate learning and progress through the course.

Teaching

You will be taught mostly online through King's E-learning and Teaching Service (KEATS) which provides information, interactive questions, assignments, use of bibliographic databases and reading material. This gives you the freedom to study without interrupting your work and personal life, and to put your skills directly into practice. Our students participate in online tutorials and discussion groups, interacting with expert tutors and their fellow students. Face-to-face lectures and hands-on training take place in blocks in the first three years. Students are required to undertake and build a reflective log of clinical work in their own general practice. 

Course format and assessment

60% per cent of each module will be assessed through exams and 40% through assignments, with the exception of the Clinical 1 and 2 modules, which are assessed through a portfolio of case work, and the Research module which will be a dissertation.

You can take your exams in London or, for overseas students, at centres in your country of residence.
