RoboDent®
Dr C. Schüttler-Janikulla MSc (Master of Science) in Implantology told
us that a new technology, which makes the setting of dental implants
easier, had been introduced to the market in Germany at the beginning of
2002. The system which is called "RoboDent®" makes it even possible that
the patient can go home with new dentures after two treatments only. "RoboDent®"
consists of a regular PC monitor, a small navigation device, which can
be mounted easily on any common handpiece, and some further additional
components.

Before the implantation a CT (computer tomography) scan will be done and
an impression of the jaw will be taken. The software processes the
tomographical data and computes the optimal drilling angle. An acoustic
signal warns the dentist when the right drilling depth has been reached.
Furthermore "RoboDent®" cautions the implantologist against drilling
right next to the nerves. The implantologist can monitor the entire
process on the screen.

first successful graduates to be awarded a Master of Science Degree
(Zahnarztwoche DZW no. 12/2004 March 17, 2004)
The first graduates to be awarded a Master of Science Degree concluded
postgraduate university studies successfully as "Master of Science in
Implantology" or "Master of Science in Periodontology".
Scientifically
brilliant Master theses with a high clinical value (Zahnarztwoche DZW no.

The first one hundred German dentists finish postgraduate university
studies with Master of Science in Implantology and Master of Science in
Periodontology successfully.
Finally the first one hundred German dentists – all of them experienced
practitioners - gained through postgraduate studies what has been
tradition for years already in countries with a highly developed
scientific dentistry, such as the USA, Scandinavia and other European
countries. There specializing in dentistry after gaining one’s licence
is quite common.

Qualified dentist of Implantology and Master of Science during
the award-giving ceremony of the Danube University Wien/Krems, where he
was awarded the university degree as a graduate of the first year.
Nearly 700 students have enrolled in dentistry at Danube University.
Students, most of them successful dentists already, are enthusiastic
about the offers at the university. As a consequence in autumn 2004 the
courses in periodontology and implantology were offered for the fourth
time and courses in orthodontics for the third time in March 2004 and
courses in aesthetic-reconstructive dentistry for the second time in
autumn 2004. Acknowledged German university professors as leading
scientists are in charge of all courses of studies.
Postgraduate courses of studies for dentists
Advanced vocational courses of studies that include five semesters to be
attended by professional dentists are offered by Danube University
Krems, the so far only state university in Europe for postgraduate
continuing education.
The qualified dentist is able to gain his or her degree as Master of
Science in Periodontology (MSc), Implantology (MSc) or Orthodontics (MSc),
Oral Surgery (MSc), Aesthetic-Reconstructive Dentistry (MSc) as well as
Function and Prosthetics (MSc).
With the Master degree to become a specialist
After finishing university studies successfully the graduate is given an
additional academic degree, which certifies his special knowledge as an
implantologist, orthodontist, periodontist etc and enables him or her,
to offer the appropriate subject as a special treatment area at his
practice according to the latest scientific standards as Master of
Science. In the aftermath there are many additional chances for the
graduate to position himself as a specialist concerning patients as well
as financial matters. First participants finished their studies
successfully and were awarded their Master degree in their special area.
More and better treatment – more (paying) patients
According to polls patients are searching the specialist. Having found
him or her, they are ready to pay more money for a "better treatment",
to agree on private contracts. Trust through safety, not because of
self-made names or special professional aspects, but just through
postgraduate studies that are accomplished with an internationally
accepted academic degree.
