This advanced veterinary dentistry course equips its participants with theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of advanced veterinary dentistry.
It consists of residential (5 days) and long-distance learning over a period of three years. The goal of the module is to cover theoretical knowledge and practical skills of veterinary dentistry that every general veterinary practitioner needs to know. In addition, certain dental specialties, e.g. endodontics and restorative dentistry are taught.
The residential courses are theoretical and practical. In fact, roughly 50% of the time is spent in the laboratory learning and practicing the procedures. The number of delegates is limited to 30 individuals to allow efficient supervision of the practical procedures.
The long-distance learning is designed to complement and enhance the theoretical knowledge gained during the residential course.
