Together with
Welcome to Nordic Institute of Dental
Education
Are you interested in complementing your knowledge and skills as a
dental professional?
Nordic Institute of Dental Education is a company founded by Planmeca Oy, one of the world’s leading dental
technology companies, and the University of Turku. We offer continued education to international dentists and dental technicians who wish to strengthen their expertise in the latest topics in dentistry, utilising state-‐of-‐the-‐art
technologies.
Dental technologies are evolving rapidly. Particularly 3D imaging, CAD/CAM solutions, specialized software applications and new biomaterials enable improved treatment methods and ways of working. In addition, the development of preventive dental care and the orthodontic sectors are increasingly important topics. In many countries, dentists are also facing increased regulatory requirements on continued education.
Our mission is to share the world-‐famous Nordic know-‐how in modern digital dentistry, utilising the academic qualifications of the University of Turku and the high technologies developed by Planmeca. The topics of the courses are related to e.g. 3D imaging, prosthodontics, endodontics, biomaterials science, orthodontics and CAD/CAM technologies.
The courses are organised in Finland at the University of Turku and in Planmeca’s headquarters in Helsinki from the autumn 2014. The University of Turku admits the ECTS credits and course certificates to the students.
Nordic Institute of Dental Education is founded by UTU Holding Ltd, owned by the University of Turku, together with Planmeca Academy, a subsidiary of Planmeca Oy.
Our course program for fall 2014 includes:
Conservative dentistry: Minimally invasive dental treatments by using
fiber-reinforced composite
This course familiarizes the student with minimally invasive dental treatments by using fiber-‐reinforced composite. It consists of 32 hours of both lectures and hands-‐on training, and is worth 3 ECTS credits.
Technology applied in dentistry: CAD/CAM fabricated restorations in
modern adhesive dentistry
Computer aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has already revolutionised the field of dental restoration. We invite you to deepen your knowledge in this new field of dental technology and to learn more about the treatment methods of the future. This course consists of 32 hours of lectures and hands-‐on training, and is worth 3 ECTS credits.
Esthetic dentistry
The international demand for esthetic dentistry is growing rapidly. Our course aims to give you all the necessary tools to offer your clients the most advanced information and methods regarding esthetic dentistry. The course consists of 32 hours of lectures and hands-‐on training, and is worth 3 ECTS credits.
The course language is English.
We also offer tailor-‐made courses for groups of dental professionals – please do not hesitate to contact us in case you would like suggest a certain course.
