Abstract: Introduction: Predominantly theoretical courses are employed to teach German dental students in implant dentistry at pre-clinical stage. As implant dentistry is an important part of the clinical treatment spectra, practical implementation of this field at an early stage of education seems to be appropriate. By a newly developed interdisciplinary implant dentistry course, students should assess an improved competence level as well as first practical experiences in the field of implant dentistry at the pre-clinical stage of their education. Materials and methods: Interdisciplinary implant dentistry education was integrated in the final pre-clinical course Phantom II at the Department of Prosthodontics, LMU, Munich. In total 120 pre-clinical students participated at the implant dentistry education course. After theoretical introduction into implant surgery and implant prosthetics, 30 simulation units were employed for the practical training of the participants. All important treatment steps were carried out by the students under instruction by the supervisors, including interdisciplinary planning, the use of the drilling template, the template guided insertion of two implants, as well as the integration of two ball attachments into a pre-existing full denture. After the course participants were asked by questionnaire about the quality of the course and their personal opinion. Results: The course received an extraordinary positive feedback. In total 108 students evaluated the course with the overall grade of 1.68 according to the German school-mark system (1 = excellent, 6 = unsatisfactory). Also the single parts of the course were voted constantly positively. Conclusion: The aim of this first interdisciplinary course for pre-clinical students was to enhance competence level and practical implementation of implant dentistry at an early stage of education. Participants' comments and suggestions on the questionnaires demonstrated the positive response and the general interest in this form of dental education, as well as the demand for further development of training in this field.
