And another cycle of training in Orthodontics has come to an end! A total of 3 classes (46 students) successfully completed their Clinical Certification in Orthodontics at IPAS.

We leave our deepest gratitude to these 46 students who have chosen our Institute as a pillar for their professional growth.

As far as the structure of the course is concerned, it was divided into 30 months of intensive training divided between:

Theoretical Classes: dedicated to learning orthodontic concepts from A to Z as well as performing the correct diagnosis and planning of orthodontic mechanics, which the students implemented in patients (in clinical practice);

Theoretical and practical classes: where students could train and perfect techniques such as bonding brackets, arch sequence, mechanics of space closure, among others, on typodont models;

Clinical Practice Classes: attendance of real patients (starting from the 6th module), in the various phases of orthodontic treatment. In total, more than 150 patients were received.

This strong bet of IPAS, in offering an intensive clinical component, has been the great differentiating factor of this Clinical Certification, which is already a reference in national Orthodontics.

For those who have not had the opportunity to join us in the Clinical Certification in Orthodontics, we inform you that we have already opened the registrations for the next edition (starting in November 2023), which will also have new program contents, including the theoretical and practical approach of Invisible Aligners (Spark®)!

Register and guarantee your place before it sells out!

As in previous editions, the training programme covered:

• Theoretical Classes: where the teachers transmitted guidelines of what is best in the field of Implantology and Oral Rehabilitation;
• Theoretical-practical classes (hands-on): dedicated to the training of clinical procedures such as the practice of incisions, detachments, sutures, placement of implants in animal models, as well as the reverse planning of the cases they will attend in clinical practice. In this aspect the students also had the opportunity to get to know the implants and biomaterials that they later used in the care of real patients;
• Practical classes (clinical environment): where students put their knowledge into practice, through the care of real patients, under the close guidance of the course teachers.

We would like to thank all the students who choose us to raise their knowledge to a higher level, in this which is one of the most challenging and sought after areas of Dentistry, as well as our partners (Klockner and Artem Dental Studio), who have allowed us to place and rehabilitate more than 120 implants, thus highlighting the strong clinical practice aspect as the great differentiating factor of this course.

In terms of the structure of the course, it was divided between:

• Theoretical classes: Where students learned theory about the different techniques of Orofacial Harmonization: Botulinum Toxin, Hyaluronic Acid, Polydioxanone Threads (PDO), Intradermoterapia (Skinbooster) and Enzymatic Lipolysis of Jowls (submentonian fat);
• Pre-clinical practice (hands-on): Training and improvement of techniques for the application of the various clinical procedures took place;
• Intensive clinical practice: The long-awaited moment, where students could apply the various aesthetic treatments learned in real patients, with the help of teachers Dr. Carla Young, Dr. Daniela Claudino and Dr. Ana Ferreira. In total around 43 patients were seen, surpassing the number of patients received in previous editions!

In this edition, the students highlighted the experience and follow-up of the teachers as strengths of the course, as well as the strong aspect of clinical practice, which gave them the scientific and technical bases necessary to treat their patients, knowing how to advise the best procedure and material to use in each clinical case.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Galderma and Isdin, partner brands of this training, for their contribution with high quality and effective products, which make this training day even richer.

For those who have not yet had the opportunity to attend the IPAS Orofacial Harmonization Clinical Residency we inform you that we still have 50% of places available for the next edition, which will take place between June 26, 2023 and July 1, 2023!

Guarantee your place now before it sells out!

Throughout the year we had a total of 19 courses in progress, 261 students, 1 752 hours of trainingwhich translates into a training volume of 28 040 hours.

Get to know the feedback from one of our students:
"I am a dentist, I chose the IPAS Orofacial Residency course since it presented me with an excellent programmatic content. The conditions of the institute are absolutely fantastic. I had a certain expectation for this course since it is a new area in dentistry and this course exceeded all the expectations I had. It is an incredible course, we have some absolutely fantastic trainers, teacher Carla Young and teacher Daniela."

This course has been in high demand as it is an area on the rise in Portugal, so the next edition that starts in September 2022 is already sold out! However, the date for a new edition, starting in February 2023, has already been confirmed.

This course, held only once a year, allows Dental Doctors who complete it to become capable of making the correct diagnosis and planning in order to be able to intervene in the most complex cases in their clinical practice. With this, the trainees will be able to meet the demands of the patients they receive, facing the cases presented with increasing autonomy and experience.
