“I believe that the UIC Barelona offers many advantages,
very high quality teaching staff and facilities, and in addition,
is constantly innovating and reinventing itself. It deals with
each student in a very personalised way and enables us,
through work with modern scientific articles, to be critical
and really learn about the profession today. You also grow a lot
through the work practice, both because of the volume and the
high-quality, in preclinic and in the University Dental Clinic.”

Resources and facilities
— University Dental Clinic (CUO): with 88 latest generation booths,
all fitted with cutting-edge technology:
• 4 booths for special patients
• 16 booths for surgeries
• Booths for conscious sedation
— Preclinical laboratory with 95 dental simulators and digital
radiology for practicing dentistry using a simulator.
This new laboratory allows dentistry to be exercised by
students before they practice on patients.
— Two prosthetics laboratories, with the latest CAD-CAM
technology in all areas of dentistry. The equipment that this
laboratory includes are:
• 3 milling machines
• 5 intraoral scanners (3 from Lyra, 1 from 3M and 1 from Cerec)
• 1 3D printer
• 6 exocad design programs, 1 from 3shape and 1 from Cerec
— A dental research laboratory.
— For complementary tests we have intraoral radiology in
each booth and digital imaging in all the clinics.
— An integrated television screen to broadcast operations.
— Two image diagnosis rooms, with 3 3D x-ray machines to do
orthopantomographies, lateral and frontal teleradiographies
of the cranium and CTs.
— Treatment planning room.
— Electronic storage in order to deliver and collect material.
— Service to sterilise the tools and equipment used.
— Recent acquisition of virtual reality simulation equipment (Simodont).
With this step, virtual reality is introduced in the pre-clinical practices
of students, helping to improve their training and is also a great tool as
a new teaching methodology. It is another step in the innovation and
improvement of the training of students.
All the resources are up to date and the university holds
agreements with different industries in the sector, thus
promoting the relationship between industry, universities
and R+D+I .
Work placement agreements
As well as the 1,150 hours undertaken in the CUO from
second year onwards, 5th year students have the opportunity
to learn about other dentistry situations by doing curricular
work placements in the following institutions:
— Fundació Privada i Prodiscapacitats Terrassenca Prodis.
— Terrassa Health Consortium.
We hold various agreements with different institutions;
the Dentistry for Solidarity Foundation and the Official
Society of Dentists and Stomatologists of Catalonia to
attend to patients who are at risk of exclusion brought in by
the Red Cross. The aim of this is to promote an awareness
of social responsibility among students in terms of the
neediest groups or those at risk of social exclusion. We also
hold agreements with SJD Barcelona Children’s Hospital,
the General University Hospital of Catalonia, the Children’s
Hospital Foundation of Barcelona and Plató Hospital.
The Faculty also encourages extracurricular work
placement agreements in order to facilitate the
incorporation of students into the world of work.
