Human Cadaver Course in Vienna

The Human Cadaver Course in Vienna is a mandatory practical module of the Master’s program in Esthetic Dentistry (MED). The course provides hands-on training on fresh, non-embalmed cadaver heads, giving students a realistic simulation of oral surgical procedures.

This course equips dentists in esthetic dentistry with advanced skills in anatomy, grafting, flap design, suturing, and case-based surgical techniques. Participants gain hands-on experience to refine surgical precision and apply minimally invasive procedures, with a focus on enhancing soft tissue esthetics.

80 % of the human cadaver course is hands-on with 20 % live or videotaped dissection/operation (displayed on screen). Everything will be performed step by step.

A maximum of two participants will be assigned to a fresh and not embalmed human cadaver skull: a „close to reality“ simulation of the surgical procedures.

Topics of the course
  • Evaluation of the aesthetic outcome, considering function, patient preferences, and visible parameters
  • Planning which intraoral and extraoral procedures can improve esthetics
  • Scheduling and sequencing of different surgical procedures
  • Palatal Anatomy & Bleeding Management
  • Graft Harvesting & Graft Handling
  • Flap Design & Mucogingival Surgery Techniques
