Das zweite Zentrum befindet sich in der Abteilung f\u00fcr restaurative Zahnmedizin und Mundgesundheit bei Erwachsenen am Royal Dental Hospital des Barts Health NHS Trust unter der Leitung von Professor Shakeel Shahdad. Gemeinsam bieten diese Zentren den Stipendiaten einen umfassenden Einblick in die Implantologie in den Bereichen Parodontologie, Prothetik, restaurative Zahnmedizin und komplexe multidisziplin\u00e4re Versorgung.\r\n\r\nEine zentrale St\u00e4rke des COCR ist die Verkn\u00fcpfung der klinischen Praxis mit klinischer und translationaler Forschung. Die Stipendiaten arbeiten in einem teamorientierten Umfeld zusammen mit Doktoranden, die in dreij\u00e4hrigen DClinDent-Studieng\u00e4ngen in Parodontologie und Prothetik eingeschrieben sind, sowie mit Fach\u00e4rzten in der Ausbildung, die eine f\u00fcnfj\u00e4hrige Facharztausbildung in restaurativer Zahnmedizin absolvieren. Diese Struktur f\u00f6rdert das fach\u00fcbergreifende Lernen und bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in die Diagnose, Planung sowie die chirurgischen, restaurativen und Nachsorgephasen der Implantatbehandlung.\r\n\r\nDas Zentrum bietet zudem eine fundierte, auf klinische Forschung ausgerichtete Erfahrung. Die Stipendiaten werden aktiv an laufenden klinischen Forschungsprojekten mitwirken und dabei praktische Erfahrungen in den Bereichen Studiendesign, standardisierte klinische Verfahren, Patientenrekrutierung, Datenerhebung, Datenanalyse und Interpretation von Forschungsergebnissen sammeln. Durch die Teilnahme an laufenden klinischen Studien entwickeln die Stipendiaten zudem wesentliche Kompetenzen im Bereich der klinischen Forschungssteuerung, darunter die Einhaltung von Standardarbeitsanweisungen, ethischen Genehmigungen, beh\u00f6rdlichen Anforderungen und der guten klinischen Praxis.\r\n\r\nDar\u00fcber hinaus bietet das COCR Zugang zu einer internationalen akademischen Gemeinschaft aus Klinikern, Postdoktoranden und erfahrenen Wissenschaftlern, die an einer Vielzahl von Forschungsprojekten in den Bereichen Implantologie, Parodontologie, regenerative Medizin und translationale Forschung beteiligt sind. Dies schafft ein hochgradig interaktives Umfeld, das die akademische Entwicklung, Zusammenarbeit und den Aufbau beruflicher Netzwerke f\u00f6rdert.\r\n\r\nInsgesamt ist das COCR bestens geeignet, als ITI-Stipendienzentrum zu fungieren, da es den Stipendiaten eine einzigartige Kombination aus fortgeschrittener klinischer Implantatausbildung, multidisziplin\u00e4rer Zusammenarbeit, strukturierter Einbindung in die Forschung und akademischer Betreuung bietet. Dieses Umfeld f\u00f6rdert die Entwicklung zuk\u00fcnftiger klinischer Wissenschaftler und Implantologen mit ausgepr\u00e4gten wissenschaftlichen, klinischen und F\u00fchrungskompetenzen."},{"acf_fc_layout":"highlight_people_3","title":"Leiter des Stipendienzentrums","items":[{"image":7357,"position":"Scholarship Center Chair ","name":"Prof. Nikos Donos  ","location":"Centre for Oral Clinical Research  "}],"cta":"","cta2":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"video_section","display_block":true,"background":"White","select":["Display video"],"title":"Mehr \u00fcber das Stipendienzentrum","video_thumbnail":8364,"iframe_embed":true,"youtube_url":"https:\/\/customer-qjgpn8cvjtmyy205.cloudflarestream.com\/f0338d77f90339bb55e2d49a1a9f604b\/watch"},{"acf_fc_layout":"scholarship_activities_list","description":"","image":4311,"sub_sections":[{"acf_fc_layout":"list","title":"Clinical activities the ITI Scholar will participate in during the Scholarship year","description":"","items":[{"title":"Treatment planning sessions","available":true},{"title":"Performing oral hygiene procedures and maintenance","available":true},{"title":"Observing patient treatment","available":true},{"title":"Assisting in patient treatment","available":true},{"title":"Treating patients under faculty supervision: placing implants","available":true},{"title":"Treating patients under faculty supervision: restoring implants","available":true},{"title":"Treating patients alone: placing implants","available":false},{"title":"Treating patients alone: restoring implants","available":false},{"title":"Laboratory and procedures associated with treatment ","available":true}]},{"acf_fc_layout":"description","title":"Local regulations and special requirements the Scholar must fulfill to be able to participate in clinical activities and treat patients  ","description":"ITI Scholars who wish to undertake clinical activity involving patients in the United Kingdom must hold the appropriate General Dental Council (GDC) registration before they can treat patients. Further information on GDC registration requirements is available through the General Dental Council website (https:\/\/www.gdc-uk.org). The GDC confirms that dental professionals must be registered before working in the UK, and that temporary registration may allow overseas-qualified dentists to practise in supervised posts for training, teaching, or research purposes only.\r\n\r\nCandidates with dental qualifications obtained outside the UK should follow the relevant GDC registration pathway well in advance of their arrival. Where full registration is not available, temporary registration may need to be sought, subject to GDC eligibility requirements and the availability of an appropriate supervised post. The GDC states that temporary registration is for dentists who are not eligible for full registration but have an offer of a supervised post for training, teaching, or research purposes.\r\n\r\nGDC registration is an essential requirement for QMUL and Barts Health NHS Trust to issue the appropriate honorary arrangements that permit supervised clinical activity with patients. Clinical work will only be undertaken under the supervision of delegated consultants or authorised staff members, and in accordance with the conditions of the scholar\u2019s registration, honorary contract, and institutional governance requirements.\r\n\r\nAll candidates, whether from EU or non-EU countries, are also responsible for clarifying and completing any visa and right-to-work requirements applicable to their nationality and circumstances before arrival in the UK. UK Government guidance states that individuals must prove their right to work before starting work, and that the process depends on nationality and immigration status.\r\n\r\nITI Scholars do not hold formal QMUL or Barts Health student\/trainee status. However, subject to the relevant University and Hospital honorary contracts, they may be provided with a working space, institutional email account, library access, and supervised access to clinical and research activities. Any delay in obtaining GDC registration, temporary registration, honorary contracts, or visa\/right-to-work clearance may delay the scholar\u2019s ability to enter the clinical environment or treat patients.\r\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"description","title":"Additional information on the clinical activities ","description":"Authorization for \"independent\" treatment of implant patients with problems of varying degrees of complexity will depend on the competencies of the individual ITI Scholar.
