About the Scholarship Center
Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital hosts a section for patients with congenitally missing teeth and early trauma-related tooth loss which roughly yearly treats 150-200 young patients with dental implants. In addition, the department treats patients with edentulism due to severe atrophy, congenital malformations such as clefts and craniofacial anomalies, due to benign and malignant tumor resections, irradiation and antiresorptive medication. Finally, the department hosts an Odontological Competence Center for patients with rare diseases including patients with ectodermal dysplasia and other syndromes in need of implant-supported restorations.
It is estimated the time of the ITI Scholar will be equally distributed between research activities (50%) including data handling, data interpretation, and writing, and the participation in clinical work (50%) including treatment planning sessions, surgeries, prosthetic rehabilitation, and control visits. The scholar will not independently treat patients during the scholarship year.
In collaboration with the Department of Odontology, University of Copenhagen, the Section Chair is currently main- or co-supervisor of several PhD-students, undergraduate 1-year scholars, and masters students within the fields of implant dentistry, dental traumatology, and odontogenic infections.
At the University Hospital, well-established clinical and scientific collaborations exist with the Departments of Ear Neck and Throat Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Infectious Diseases, Cardiology, Anesthesiology, Oncology, Hematology, and Rare Diseases.
