Rome, 25 May 2026 - To offer students a concrete, highly qualifying training experience in line with the highest international standards, thanks to the use of real anatomical structures within the university Simulation Center: this is what the Master's Degree Course in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics offersUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma with the first dissection anatomy lessons of the Anatomy Lab UCBM thanks to human anatomical preparations inside the university simulation center, guided by the president of the Degree Course Prof. Luca Testarelli with teachers of the caliber of Dr.. Raffaele Cavalcanti, Professor Massimo Galli, and Dr. Fabrizio Nicoletti. In them the students UCBM they were able to directly study the complexity of the structures of the cranio-cervico-facial district on human heads, a fundamental element for future clinical and surgical practice.
“We are proud to be able to offer our students these activities of extraordinary scientific, practical and human value – commented the professor. Luca Testarelli, Professor of Odontostomatological Diseases, Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma – inside the Simulation center UCBM which represents excellence in teaching and in terms of simulation within the university environment. Thanks to the synergies that a university like Università Campus Bio-Medico di Roma We have succeeded in activating and are able to offer our students an experience commensurate with the leading international simulation centers, where clinical practice becomes a risk-free learning experience for patients. Adding further value to these activities is the presence of excellent professionals who serve as teachers.Anatomy lab UCBM like Dr. Raffaele Cavalcanti, Prof. Massimo Galli and the Dr. Fabrizio Nicoletti".
Through this teaching approach, students have the opportunity to overcome the limitations of exclusively theoretical study, acquiring a real perception of the anatomical relationships and three-dimensionality of the structures they will deal with on a daily basis in the dental profession.
Direct visualization of anatomical structures It also allows for a full understanding of the level of precision required in clinical practice. Nerves, vessels, muscles and tissues of the oral cavity and maxillofacial area constitute an extremely delicate operating field, which requires accuracy, sensitivity and absolute control of clinical gestures.
The dissertation experience therefore allows students to develop greater professional awareness, strengthening the sense of responsibility and attention Toward the safety and quality of healthcare procedures. Anatomical knowledge is thus confirmed as an essential foundation for effective, safe, and modern dental practice. with important consequences on the well-being of patients.
“Training activities such as those included in the Anatomy Lab UCBM, transferred into daily experience, can bring absolute benefit to patients in solving very common problems in oral surgery - the professor underlined Raffaele Cavalcanti - such as wisdom teeth extraction, implantology, or vertical bone augmentation, where knowledge of anatomy is essential: even the most complex cases can be managed and resolved more effectively thanks to simulation-based training for professionals in this absolutely realistic modality.”
In a university context increasingly oriented towards the integration between theory and practice and experiential and professional training, initiatives of this type allow students to engage with advanced training methodologies, already adopted in the main Italian and international "cadaver labs." The opportunity to have such a high-level experience within one's academic career represents an opportunity of particular importance in the national panorama and testifies to the commitment of theUCBM in promoting modern, concrete and highly qualifying teaching.
Particularly significant, within the entire course of study, is the contribution of teachers and professionals of high scientific and clinical caliber which support students not only in the acquisition of technical skills, but also in the transmission of fundamental values such as rigor, professional ethics, continuous updating, and respect for the patient.
Educational moments like this help build a increasingly aware, modern and excellence-oriented preparation, strengthening the link between academic training, clinical practice, and professional responsibility in the preparation of future dentists.
