IntroductionThe Department of Periodontology and Oral Surgery is a training center in periodontology and implant

dentistry with a well established tradition of welcoming post-graduate students.

The post-graduate program in Periodontology of the University of Liège (ULg) is a 3-year full time pro-

gram (5 days a week), including Implant Dentistry and Oral Surgery. The curriculum consists of theory

practice with modern approaches in the diagnosis and treatment planning in the field.

The program consists of three main components:

The curriculum is first designed to offer the participants an advanced clinical training (patient

treatment) in the field of Periodontology, Implant Dentistry and Oral Surgery. It aims to improve the clinical

practice learning experience by providing opportunities to treat patients with modern periodontal tech-

niques. The students will treat a substantial number of periodontal patients including pre-prosthetic

surgeries and oral implants.

The basic clinical and scientific knowledge is provided by various didactic methods of learning:

literature seminars, theoretical courses, seminars, reports of scientific meetings and active chair-side

assistances of senior periodontists.

The program also offers a research training led by scientific experts. Each participant has to carry out

a research project, submit a scientific article and defend a thesis at the end of the program.

1.Didacticlearning

05

The scientific and clinical knowledge in periodontology and implant dentistry will be provided by

various didactic methods of learning such as active chair side assistance of experienced periodontists,

theoretical lectures, comprehensive literature seminars, and extra-curricular congresses and conferences.

a. Chair-side assistances

Students learn through dental chair-side assisting and perform surgical procedures under direct pro-

fessional supervision. Each student spends 3 half days assisting E. Rompen, F. Lambert and G. Lecloux.

The Periodontal Department had used this kind of didactic clinical learning method since years and such

teacher – student interaction has shown to be successful. This allows the candidate to have one-to-one

discussions and philosophical exchanges with the experienced clinician and to share clinical decision

making, surgical techniques and rational of treatment concept. Additionally, in these timeslots the student

can schedule specific cases they would like to treat under active supervision of the senior practitioner.

b. Theoretical lectures – Literature seminars

This part of the program is designed to provide detailed clinical and scientific knowledge in the fields of:

I. Basic periodontology,

II. Periodontics clinical procedures,

III. Risk factors and relationships,

IV. Oral surgery and medicine,

V. Methodology,

VI. Implant dentistry.

A set of clinical experts and professors will contribute to this specific didactic learning using various

teaching methods such as clinical case discussion, literature review seminars, ex cathedra lectures,

group discussions, presentation of critical evaluation of the literature by the students. The time allocation

and teachers in each field are given over the 3 years and listed in Table I. Additionally the details about

the seminar’s objectives and key learning objectives of each topic are displayed in the annex.

a.Global objectives

The post-graduate program aims at improving clinical practice learning experience by providing opportunities

to clinically treat patients using modern periodontal techniques. The students treat patients 2 1/2 days per

week under supervision of a senior periodontist. During all their training, students work with external GP

referrals and internally with post-graduate students in prosthodontics, endodontics and orthodontics.

The first year focuses on diagnosis, prevention, treatment planning, periodontal initial therapy and oral

surgery (wisdom teeth and orthondontic-related surgeries). In the second year, the students can proceed with,

periodontal, muco-gingival and pre-prosthodontic surgeries as well as implant placement under the active

supervision of a senior periodontist. In the third year, the students are expected to perform the surgical

procedures independently except implant and bone surgeries still remaining under supervision. Additionally,

the third year students have a mandatory internship in an accredited private periodontal practice one half day

per week.

a.Global objectives

Each participant has to develop a basic or clinical research project that is defended at the end of the

curriculum as a thesis. The postgraduate research thesis is a massive responsibility that reflects students

accomplishment and involvement.This academic work has a very strong visibility and it reflects the post-

graduate program as well as the University of Liège. On the other hand, by carrying out such a scientific

project, the students acquire critical thinking, organization skills and extensive knowledge in periodontal

research. An academic advisor will be assigned to each candidate to provide support and guidance

throughout the progress of their research. One day per week is dedicated to prepare and manage the

research project. One research article has to be submitted 6 months before the end of the studies and the

scientific project is defended publicly.

The postgraduate student is expected to:

• Realize and propose a preclinical/clinical research project’s protocol including a thorough literature

review with the necessary background to define the hypothesis of the proposed research.

• Determine the study design and the objectives (study model, time perspectives, enrolment, number

of groups, target follow-up duration, outcome measures, interventions, project timetable)

Secure ethical approval (subject information and consent, subject data protection, insurance and

indemnity.)

• Register subject selection (sampling method, eligibility criteria)

Perform clinical study procedure and measurements (screening visit, clinical evaluation, follow-up

evaluation.)

• Complete a statistical analysis plan (SAP) (sample size determination, statistical analysis)

Write the final report of the study

• Present the results in the form of a written report for publication in an English-language international

refereed scientific journal 6 months before the thesis defense.

A grade will be attributed every year to the students based on:

Clinical sense, skills and level of improvement (40%)

The instructors will proceed an all year round assessment of clinical sense, clinical skills and level of

improvement. The number of treated patients as described in “clinical requirements” section is required to

gain access to the next year. Moreover, at the end of every academic year, the students have to provide

a series of 6 documented cases and one will be selected for oral presentation.

Research project advancement (25%)

The first-year students are required to develop their own thesis that meets the current research projects

carried out by the Department of Periodontology. An annual progress meeting between the research

mentor and the student is organized in order to give some feedback and critical assessment of the

research project’s evolution.

Result of written exam of theory and literature assimilation (25%)

At the end each year, student assessment comprises a final oral examination. This exam will focus on

theoretical and academic knowledge.This interview will also be done in order to test the student’s knowledge

about didactic seminar’s subject taught during the year.

Clinical interest and overall involvement (10%)

Finally the overall interest of the student and their involvement in the program will be evaluated as well.

A face-to-face feedback will be given to the student after the oral evaluation.

b. Third year

At the end of the 3rd year, students are assessed based on:

Clinical skills and level of improvement (40%)

The clinical instructors deliver a final appreciation to the students for their clinical sense, clinical skills

and over all level of improvement. The number of treated patients as described in “clinical requirements”

section is required to access final oral exam.

Oral exam and clinical cases defense (30%)

At the end of the program, additional to the clinical performance observed during the 3 years, in order to

deliver the master in Periodontology to the student, the board of examiners will perform a final oral examination

related to the overall integration of the periodontal literature and clinical cases presentation. The student

is required to prepare 18 fully documented cases and 2 cases will be selected for an oral presentation. The

candidate must be able to discuss the diagnostic elements and treatment plans. Furthermore, he must

be prepared to answer question related to general subjects in Periodontology.

6.Facilities

28

a.Clinical facilities

Dental school (CHU-BRULL)

The dental school holds a pre-graduate student clinic of 20 dental units, a prosthodontics and general

restorative dentistry clinic of 10 units, an orthodontics and pedodontics clinic of 9 units and a periodon-

tology and oral surgery clinic of 4 units and 1 operation room. Post-graduate student are working in the

perio clinic and must be available to help in the pre-graduate clinic when necessary.

Specialized clinic at the University Hospital (CHU- Sart Tilman)

The Liège University Hospital (CHU) guarantees healthcare and a wide range of medical specialized treatments.

Since its inauguration in 1987, the CHU of Liège is increasingly successful. Each day, the hospital

welcomes around 3,000 patients and more than 900 practitioners, divided into fifty services, and provide

specialized care in all medical disciplines. The Dental clinic holds 8 dental units and 3 operation rooms and

is occupied by dental specialists. The post-graduate students work part-time in this specialized clinic and

treat hospitalized patients at risk as well as patients referred by private general practitioners.

29

CHU – Clinic des Thermes

The “clinic des thermes” is a personalized clinic managed by the University Hospital located at a ther-

mal center. This clinic provides dental patients with an overnight stay and benefit of the wellness hotel

for specific treatment such as full arch immediate implant loading. The post-graduate students may

assist the senior periodontists when they are working in the clinic.

b. Library and scientific publications

Postgraduate students have access to the library, computer room, printing facilities and other facilities

of the University of Liège. The ORBi database (92,000 references to academic and scientific publications)

and the SCRIBE catalogue (800,000 notices for documents scanned from paper files and referring to

old references) bring together all of the ULg’s paper catalogue, the whole of its digital catalogue and

other documentary resources (e-books, e-journals). In addition, search extensions beyond the ULg’s

resources are possible, by directly quizzing the BASE catalogue (a database of 42 million references

which are often available on Open Access) or the collective catalogue UniCat, which checks the existence

of a document in other libraries in Belgium.

c. Laboratories collaborations

Dental Biomaterials research Unit (d-BRU)

The Dental Biomaterials Research Unit (d-BRU) (www.d-bru.ulg.ac.be) develops several research

areas, from in-vitro to in-vivo and clinical research. The DBRU interacts with the Faculties of Medicine,

Applied Sciences, Sciences, and Veterinary Medicine of the University of Liege. It has also developed

several international collaborations with foreign Universities in the field of Dental Biomaterials.

Laboratory animal facilities

The Univeristy of Liège provides several animal models (mice, rats, rabbits, minipigs,…) for different

purposes. The Periodontology and Oral Surgery department routinely works on these in vivo models to

assess treatment strategies.

Biostatistics Department of the University of Liège

We developed a strong collaboration with the Department of Biostatistics of the University of Liège in

both clinical data management and statistical analyses. We have optimized online secured databases,

which allow for automatic updated data and well guaranteed encoded information quality.

Cell culture laboratory (University of Liège)

The histology-cytology laboratory has a long experience in 2D and 3D cell culture, and in classical

techniques of histology and cytology to characterize the cells or tissues. Cytocompatibility and cell

adhesion of biomaterials and surface are routinely tested.

GIGA-Histology/ImmunoHistology

The GIGA Histology and immunohistology facility (www.giga.ulg.ac.be/jcms/prod_197853/en/giga-

histology/immunohistology ) is available to researchers interested in producing quality frozen or paraffin-

embedded sections of tissues, colorations and performing automated immunostaining on large series.

Catµ

The Center for Applied Technology in Microscopy (Catµ) (www.catmu.ulg.ac.be/) is placed under the

authority of the University of Liège. The Catµ platform creates a common microscopy facility offering an

access to high-tech equipment, tools for fundamental and applied research within the ULg (publications,

hands-on) and available microscopy characterization facilities.

Imaging data software (GIGA)

Cytomine (www.cytomine.be) is a rich Internet application for visualization, collaborative annotation, and

automatic analysis of large-scale bioimages. This application uses data mining for large-scale bioimage

exploitation in order to help life scientists to better evaluate drug treatments, understand biological

processes, and ease diagnosis. It uses fully web-based technologies without the need for the end-user

to install proprietary software to visualize, annotate, and analyse imaging data.

CERM

The Center for Education and Research on Macromolecules (CERM) offers its expertise, among other,

in macromolecular engineering and in engineering of the interfaces and surfaces. Please click here
