Overview:
This four-day course split over two sessions has been specifically designed for
dentists wishing to start their journey in dental implantology.
Session one will empower you to restore single unit and short span bridge implant
supported prosthesis. Understanding the prosthetic aspect of dental
implantology prepares the clinician to become a prosthetically driven
implant surgeon.
Session two focuses on the surgical aspects of basic single unit implant
placements. The attendees will be supported post course
to build confidence in tackling their first cases in a
safe manner. Attendees may treat their own
patients at the academy under clinical supervision.
The course is a combination of theory, hands on
workshops on manikins and animal models, live
patient demonstrations and online tutorials.
