Implant prosthodontics plays a central role in guiding implant treatment planning and long-term restorative outcomes. While surgical considerations are often prominent within implant dentistry, the restorative and prosthodontic aspects are equally fundamental to predictable, biologically sound care.
In the UK, postgraduate implant education frequently places a strong emphasis on surgical training, with restorative management introduced later in the learning pathway. This course is designed to place implant prosthodontics at the forefront of clinical decision-making, emphasising the principles, evidence, and rationale that underpin restorative implant care.
Rather than focusing on short-format training, the programme explores implant prosthodontics in depth, supporting clinicians—both restorative and surgical—in developing a clearer understanding of treatment planning, restoration design, and long-term maintenance considerations.
The course explores implant prosthodontics in depth, with an initial emphasis on core prosthodontic principles that underpin both straightforward and more complex restorative rehabilitation.
Implant dentistry can sometimes be approached in a space-driven manner. This programme emphasises comprehensive, full-mouth treatment planning, using structured, step-by-step frameworks to illustrate how implant prosthodontic principles can be integrated into broader restorative treatment planning.
Introduces the principles of comprehensive implant prosthodontics, including both analogue and digital workflows
Explores the clinical considerations involved in the restoration of implants, across a range of restorative scenarios
Emphasises a digitally informed approach to treatment planning for implant-supported restorations
Encourages evidence-based clinical decision-making, informed by current research and contemporary literature
