- Description
Who is it for?
The course is aimed at postgraduate level dentists who are interested in developing their dental implant experience: from early-stage dental implant surgeons to more experienced clinicians who want to consolidate their knowledge with a PGDip in implant dentistry.
Course overview
Our course draws upon the experience of senior and established dental implant surgeons
and restorative specialists in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Teachers adopt an individualised
approach in surgical training, with mentoring, utilising work-based assessments and direct
observed procedural skills so that students will be able to rapidly progress to more
advanced techniques after successfully completing their competency-based assessments.
The main emphasis on assignments will be on clinical case presentations and short
essays. Students who do not have access to their own patients will be invited to observe
clinical sessions and all modules will have live surgery components, with hands-on
experience in simulation settings and cadaveric training. The course will be delivered over
one to two days per month.
Course benefits
This programme will be uniquely individualised and focused on student needs.
Mentoring will be available to enable rapid progression, if appropriate, to more advanced
techniques for the established dental implant surgeon. A more focused approach on
basics in implant dentistry will also be available for the early-stage dental implant
surgeon. The programme also includes emerging techniques with digital workflow and
immediate load full arch techniques; hands-on surgery with dry-bone/stereolithographic
model workshops in phantom head facility; live surgery; cadaveric hands-on training and
mentoring.
