New Frontiers
Cooperation between DGZI (German Association of Dental Implantology) and Danube University Krems (Austria) / PUSH.
As the oldest professional nonprofit association active in the field of implantology, DGZI is focusing its activities on the continuing education and training of dentists active in the field of implantology. The goal of these activities is to improve both quality and quality assurance as well as the safety of therapies in the interest of patients on the one hand, and providing factual information on existing therapeutic possibilities of implant-based tooth replacement on the other hand.
From “DGZI- Curriculum” to academic “Master of Science Oral Surgery / Implantology (MSc)” within four semesters.
No other institution in Europe has a comparable amount of experience and success with respect to postgraduate education at university level involving the “Master of Science” degree in various areas of specialization of dentistry like Danube University Krems (Austria). It has pushed through the acceptance of the “Master of Science” degree in various disciplines of dentistry as an academic, university-level protection and confirmation for these specialists in Europe - especially Germany and Austria, despite fierce opposition of the chambers of dentistry, professional organizations and even professional associations.
DGZI curriculum graduates can now enroll in the “Master of Science in Oral Surgery / Implantology (MSc)” degree course offered in its 7th edition since 2001 at the Danube University at special conditions and in English language. This is based on a cooperation agreement concluded between DGZI and Danube University Krems (Austria) – PUSH as a prerequisite for the “Master of Science in Oral Surgery / Implantology (MSc)” course of study.

Master of Science Oral Surgery / Implantology (MSc)
The master’s program “Oral Surgery / Implantology” is geared towards practicing dentists and offers practice-based university-level continuing education of international quality. It is designed as in-service training and is offered in German language and now also in English language in cooperation with DGZI (German Association of Dental Implantology).
Within the field of dentistry, implantology has increasingly emerged as an area of specialization in its own right. The goal of the post-graduate university training course “Oral Surgery / Implantology” for dentists is to provide students with in-depth, application-oriented scientific knowledge and practical skills in the area of oral surgery and implantology. The focus is on indication, planning, symptoms and surgery, as well as post-operative care, liaison with associated prosthetics and general diseases as well as other individual disciplines in dental and oral diseases and maxillofacial surgery. The course of study particularly focuses on the connection between theory and practice in the area of invasive surgical procedures. Students will be able to offer state-of the art oral surgery / implantology, consistent with forensic ethical standards, as a special emphasis of their practice and as a specialization.
Currently, more than 500 masters have earned their degree in one of the specialist areas; more than 800 dentists are currently actively enrolled in studies.
Pursuant to the European standards of the “Bologna Conference” of the Ministers of Science, the “Master of Science Oral Surgery / Implantology (MSc)” degree requires a total of at least 50 semester hours including corresponding partial examinations, case documentations, practical training and a master thesis as well as a final examination with a total of 180 ECTS points (European Credit Transfer System for the assessment of various studies).
The “Master of Science Oral Surgery / Implantology (MSc)” at Danube University / PUSH, the state university for postgraduate studies, is based on these comprehensive conditions. According to the examination regulations, both interim examinations pertaining to all topics as well as a final examination before the board of examiners need to be taken. The course of studies has been approved pursuant to the 404th ordinance issued by the Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture (Federal Law Gazette 2004) and is recognized in Europe as well as internationally.
Special courses of study are now being offered for DGZI curriculum graduates within the scope of the cooperation between DGZI and Danube University Krems (Austria) / PUSH. The reduced tuition fee for the “MSc Oral Surgery / Implantology” course of studies within the scope of cooperation between DGZI / Danube University Krems (Austria) - PUSH is represents a significant reduction of almost one third of the total costs, based on the recognition of the continuing education provided by the DGZI curriculum which equals and is recognized as two semesters of studies. The duration of the studies for the Master degree will consist of additional four semesters / 32 semester hours / 32 seminar study days plus interactive studies (at least 24 months duration of studies) for DGZI curriculum graduates.
All conditions outlined in the official examination regulations of the national Danube University regarding the “MSc Oral Surgery / Implantology” must be fulfilled. This means that written examination, case documentation including corresponding specification of indication and documentation regulations (master thesis / defense and expert discussion) must be completed. A professor will serve as mentor for writing the master thesis.
