IPP Program Application

Individuals who have completed U.S. or equivalent, postgraduate training in Periodontics or Prosthodontics are eligible to apply to this intensive, full-time 12-month program.

The goal of the Fellowship is to provide a unique opportunity for Periodontists and Prosthodontists to learn and collaborate, delivering the highest quality of Implant Dentistry. IPP Fellows from both discipline backgrounds will cross-train and share knowledge, enabling all to broaden their understanding of implantology and implant prosthetics.

The 3-pronged curriculum consists of lectures, clinical experience and research which provides the Fellows with a strong foundation in the interdisciplinary management of patients with complex treatment needs. Curriculum emphasis is placed on developing multidisciplinary holistic patient diagnoses, developing surgical and prosthetic treatment plans and instilling the clinical skills necessary to execute the full approved treatment for complex implant cases.

This Fellowship is guided by UMSOD Periodontic and Prosthodontic Faculty, which includes Board-certified specialists, and takes place in the state-of-the-art Periodontics and Prosthodontics Postgraduate Clinics.
