Licensing and Recognition Regulations
Digital technologies are of sustainable importance for the dentistry of the future in many ways: They allow fully integrated digital work steps with an accompanying automatic flow of data and information from diagnosis to surgical intervention and, if necessary, patient-optimized follow-up treatment.
In order to create optimal patient-centered treatment plans, ordinary x-rays and classic examination parameters are often no longer sufficient.In fact, the foresighted dentist today needs different modern imaging techniques ranging from intraoral scans and photographs to digital volume tomography (DVT) techniques. With the data obtained, he will use special software to create a virtual diagnostic model with which he can "play through" various options for an optimal treatment concept. In addition, clinical data can be meaningfully evaluated by appropriate software and integrated into a clinical treatment concept.
It is obvious that a meaningful use of future-oriented digital technologies for patients and doctors requires a sustainable practical transfer of information, knowledge and technology to patients. At DTMD University for Digital Technologies in Medicine and Dentistry, this exchange is guaranteed by dedicated hands-on training modules.
In their optimally equipped academic teaching practices at DTMD University, committed teaching dentists with high competence and proven expertise guarantee systematic professional and social coaching of young colleagues.
In order to guarantee the required high standards of the academic teaching practices of DTMD University in the long term, the Presidential Board has issued an accreditation regulation for academic teaching practices, which provides for a multi-stage selection procedure. The decision on the accreditation of a practice and the appointment of a dentist as teaching dentist of the DTMD University lies solely with the university's Presidential Board. Legal recourse is excluded.
Admission criteria for Academic Teaching Practices (AL) of DTMD University
The Academic Teaching Practices (AL) of DTMD offer systematic preventive and periodontological care.
At least one dentist in an AL must be a dentist with advanced qualifications in periodontology, endodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery/oral surgery or implantology. The DTMD selection committee decides on the professional qualification of the applicant. The applicant should be able to provide evidence of at least five years of practical experience.
Alternatively, an academic teaching institution (department of a university clinic, specialist clinic or a specialist (high) school) can become an AL.
A practice applying for the appointment to AL is committed to adhering to current scientific standards in diagnostics and therapy. Patient care in the areas of prevention and periodontology/implantology is comprehensively documented. The scope of documentation should be equivalent to that required for student case documentation.
In an AL, qualified practice personnel (ZMP, DH) are employed.
Accreditation process for academic teaching practices at DTMD University
The accreditation of a practice to the academic teaching practice of the DTMD University takes place in two ways
The Presiding Board of the DTMD appoints a dentist as a trainee dentist after having personally informed itself in detail about the person and the practice of the colleague concerned and after having unanimously decided in a non-public meeting of the Accreditation Commission that all relevant requirements and criteria for an accreditation are met.
A dentist who is convinced that he or she and his or her practice meet the requirements for appointment as a teaching dentist and that their practice has the personnel, space and technological resources required by DTMD, submits an informal application to the President of the DTMD University. In a non-public meeting, the Accreditation Commission of DTMD then decides by mutual agreement whether all relevant requirements and criteria for accreditation have been met. The Accreditation Commission is free in its decision. The right to take legal action is excluded. The President of the DTMD will inform the applicant promptly about the decision of the Accreditation Commission. He does not have to justify this decision.
After successful accreditation, the practice receives an accreditation certificate as well as the authorization to use the designation "Academic Teaching Practice of DTMD University" and to display the accreditation logo on its own homepage, on the door sign and in publications of the teaching physician.
Stock criteria for academic teaching practices of the DTMD University
The accreditation of an academic teaching practice is valid for two years for the first time and can subsequently be extended for three years at a time.
The accreditation of an academic teaching practice may be revoked immediately in the event of non-compliance with the quality assurance guidelines and measures established for the Master's programme.
In addition, the following inventory criteria shall apply to AL's
An AL undertakes to maintain the above-mentioned admission criteria on a permanent basis.
An AL takes part in the regular collegial exchange and sends a representative to the annual academic forums and celebrations of DTMD.
The AL declare their willingness to carry out scientific projects together. The exchange of patient data for clinical data is always anonymous.
The AL agree that students may submit an evaluation of the compulsory components of teaching held in the AL.
The AL supports students with regard to accommodation in the practice partner city for the elective module period (observation/supervision). Individual arrangements can be made for voluntary work (internships, Master's thesis, etc.) in the practice.
Al declares her consent to the naming of the academic practice as well as the respective teaching physician on the homepage and in other presentations of the DTMD University
Accreditation regulations for institutes of the
Château de Wiltz, Luxembourg
The DTMD University for Digital Technologies in Medicine and Dentistry, located in Schloss Wiltz, Luxembourg, considers in- and affiliated institutes as important and valuable university organisms for the promotion and support of the goals and tasks of the university.
An-Institutes are legally and organizationally part of the DTMD University and combine activities of individual courses of study in both teaching and research.
Associated institutes are legally independent institutions at DTMD University. They are connected with DTMD in terms of organisation, personnel and, in some cases, premises, but are not part of the university.
The main task of the In- and An-Institutes of DTMD University is the transfer of information, technology and knowledge in teaching and research between university and practice. To this end, these institutes primarily deepen and broaden scientific activities and projects that DTMD itself is not or cannot undertake.
The present Accreditation Regulations of DTMD University lay down generally valid principles for the establishment of in-house and affiliated institutes. The decision on the accreditation of an affiliated or associated institute of the DTMD University is made solely by the Presidential Board of the University. Legal recourse is excluded.
Scientific facilities of the DTMD University
The Presidential Board of the DTMD University can form scientific institutions (institutes, seminars) under consideration of the technical, personnel and financial resources of the university, as far as personnel and/or material resources of the university or of third parties are to be committed and permanently provided for the execution and guarantee of a task in the field of research and teaching.
If an academic institution of the university is mainly or exclusively financed by third-party funds, these third-party funds must be secured for the duration of the tasks to be performed, but at least for two years (2), and must be available to the academic institution to fulfil its tasks.
For the same or related tasks only one scientific institution shall be established at DTMD University. If a scientific institution is to be assigned to several departments or study programs, its distribution of tasks and responsibilities is to be explicitly and comprehensively recorded in the founding protocol or in the statutes of the respective scientific institution.
The statutes of the scientific institution must clearly state whether it is an in-house institute or an affiliated institute. In addition to the range of objectives and tasks of the institution, rules on its organisation and management must be laid down transparently and as fully as possible in the statutes of the institute and/or the rules of procedure of the institute's management bodies.
Approval of the establishment of an in-house or affiliated institute of DTMD
In principle, only those scientific institutions will be recognized as institutes of the DTMD University which have their seat in Luxembourg and are organized under Luxembourg law.
In- and An-institutes of the DTMD University are generally recognized for a limited period of time, but at least for 3 years. DTMD University strives for a medium to long-term sustainable cooperation.
The foundation of an In-Institute must be approved by the DTMD Presidium. In case of approval, the Presidium can decide on conditions. The In-Institute is obliged to prepare a report on its activities every two years and to present it to the President of the DTMD University.
Only institutions located outside the DTMD University that fulfill scientific and/or administrative tasks are recognized as affiliated institutes. The institution must be legally and financially independent of the University.
Affiliated institutions are generally financed from third-party funds. The existence of the An-Institute shall be secured by appropriate documents and activity reports for the duration of the projects and activities of the An-Institute, but at least for two (2) years. The recognition of the An-Institute by DTMD University is subject to proof of financing.
The Presidium may, on application or by decision, recognise as a university institution a body located outside the university which performs appropriate scientific and/or administrative tasks. Recognition is granted by the President of the DTMD if and only if the planned tasks in teaching and research as well as in the transfer of information, technologies and knowledge are not to be or cannot be taken over by an institution of the university itself. An (external) applicant has no legal claim to recognition as an affiliated institute.
The recognised institution cooperates with the DTMD University. The legal independence of the institution and the legal status of the persons responsible and employees of the institution are not affected by this.
The recognition of the An-Institute can be revoked by the Presidential Board for good cause, especially if the reputation of the DTMD University is damaged and/or financial damage is caused by the conduct of the An-Institute, as well as if the An-Institute does not pursue its goals for a longer period of time or does not pursue them with the necessary sustainability.
The head of an affiliated institute at the DTMD University can be appointed by the Presidential Board of the university in this function as an extraordinary professor at the DTMD University. He or she has the right to the title.
Operation of an In-Institute of the DTMD University
An In-Institute of the DTMD University is legally and organizationally part of the university and is subject to the control of the executive committee.
The In-Institute is represented by a director. He or she is appointed by the Presidium of the DTMD and holds the title: Director of the Institute (designation) of the DTMD University Luxembourg.
The term of office of the head of the institute is two years. A re-election is possible.
The director of the institute can be voted out of office by a two-thirds majority of the votes of the members of the institute. In this case, a new director must be appointed by the Presidium of the DTMD, whose term of office expires at the end of the regular term of office of the person elected.
The head of the Institute represents the Institute externally within the framework of the statutory regulations.
The head of the Institute shall draw up a financial statement comparing income and expenditure.
The head of the institute coordinates the acceptance of third-party funds with the Presidium of the DTMD.
The cooperation between DTMD University and the affiliated institute is regulated either by the statutes of the affiliated institute, which are to be drawn up in agreement with the Presidential Board of DTMD and deposited at the competent register court in Luxembourg, or by a cooperation agreement which DTMD University concludes with the affiliated institute.
In both cases, a possible mutual assumption of costs for the use of resources or infrastructure must be provided for. Any liability of DTMD University for the activities of the affiliated institute is to be excluded.
The An-Institute is managed by a head of institute and one or more deputies. Further details are regulated by the statutes of the affiliated institute or the rules of procedure of the institute's management bodies.
With the consent of the Presidential Board of DTMD University, affiliated institutes at DTMD University may also maintain branches and/or subsidiaries at home and abroad. These are separate from the company headquarters, but legally and economically dependent assets of the affiliated institute.
Recognition by DTMD is associated with the right of use of the affiliated institute with regard to the name and logo of DTMD for (affiliated) institutes. Six months prior to the expiry of the approval period, the affiliated institute is obliged to submit an activity report to the Presidium of the DTMD University, showing the pursuit of the statutory objectives of the affiliated institute. Afterwards, the Presidential Board will decide on a further limited or unlimited extension of the recognition.
The statutes of the An-Institute must bindingly regulate an appropriate participation of one or more representatives of DTMD in the managing body of the An-Institute.
Furthermore, the statutes of the An-Institute must ensure that scientific freedom and the right to publish research results are preserved.

The recognition of achievements from the non-university sector or of knowledge and skills acquired in another course of study at domestic and foreign universities is legally anchored in the procedure of qualifying recognition of acquired competences (VAE Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience).
The first step in a VAE recognition procedure is the identification of competencies by the examination board of the DTMD University.
Occupational and/or non-occupational skills and abilities can be the subject of a qualifying recognition of acquired competences according to the VAE procedure, provided that the training and/or professional activities have been either continuous or with interruptions of at least 3 years (5,000 hours) and are related to the (new) Master of Science degree sought at DTMD University.
Learning outcomes from formal, non-formal or informal learning processes can be credited. Informally acquired learning outcomes are generally credited by means of an individual certificate of competence, e.g. through evaluation and/or assessment interviews.
Successfully completed curricular training and further education measures of the medical and dental associations as well as other medical and dental professional and professional organisations can be recognised and credited according to the VAE procedure. However, a maximum of 30% of the credits required for a Master's degree can be achieved by means of a recognition decision of the DTMD examination commission.
Interested parties can obtain further information on the VAE procedure from the student secretariat of DTMD University.
