The principles of this course are relevant to EVERY CLINICIAN who is part of the Implant Team at every level of experience:
- Restore only (never restored)
- Restore only (some experience but wish to advance to more complex prosthetics)
- Place and Restore (ambitious to become a comprehensive Implant provider, align this course with surgical mentorship)
- Place only (surgeons e.g. oral surgery/perio trainees who would like comprehensive prosthetic training in this field)
Gain the skills and knowledge to confidently provide implant treatment to your own patients in your own practice. Partner with a suitably experienced surgeon and take control of the implant positioning with guided surgery and digital planning. Understand when to use the myriad of design options abutments of materials in the appropriate setting, to ensure mechanical strength and biological compatibility.
If you have experience with simpler implant restorations, update your knowledge in the latest technology and evidence. Gain the confidence to provide your own patients with full arch implant overdentures. Learn conventional construction techniques and chairside conversion of regular dentures into locator overdentures. Learn the use of milled bars with attachments and when to use and implement.
Learn and be able to execute the workflow for analogue and digital fixed full arch reconstruction
The perfect starting block for a long successful career in Implantology is the foundations of Implant prosthodontics. Those with ambitions to become surgical Implant Dentists will benefit immeasurably by starting their careers with an in depth dive into all aspects of Implant prosthodontics and make them a superior Implant surgeon understanding the end product requirements in detail. Only by planning with the Prosthetic outcome in mind can we be successful as an Implant surgeon.
Many surgical trainees for example Oral Surgery, Periodontics or those with Maxillofacial training roles may be competent in the surgical techniques applicable to Implantology. These clinicians may want to advance their Implantology careers by gaining a deep understanding of the Prosthodontic aspect of Implantology. This will produce a rounded advanced Implantology clinician able to provide the most cutting edge, balanced treatment options for the most suitable cases, including a fully digital planning and execution process.
