Overview:
This four-day course split over two workshops has been specifically designed for dentists wishing to start their journey in dental implantology.
Workshop 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.
Workshop 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 sessions on manikins and animal models, live patient demonstrations and online tutorials.
