GUY'S DENTAL EDUCATION

The Advanced Implant Year Course

 

Enrolling Now for November 2019

 

This pioneering course has been designed to train implant dentists to an exceptionally high level of implant dentistry, increasing their scope of practice and mastering techniques that produce exceptional success rates and treatment predictability.  Unleash the full potential of your implant dentistry within your practice.

 

The Advanced Implant Year Course is suitable for dentists who are already placing some implants and have realised that bone augmentation and more advanced planning techniques are essential to expand their implant work and scope of practice.

 

The course teaches the proven techniques that are used in a successful implant clinic, which can be implemented in your practice to dramatically increase the number of cases you can comfortably treat. These techniques include highly predictable Socket Grafting protocols, Bone Grafting, Onlay Block grafting, Sinus Management, Guided Surgery, and Full Arch Fixed Rehabilitation. You will gain intimate knowledge of digital implant planning and workflows.

 

Clinical Treatments

 

During the course you are encouraged to begin to implement the planning and surgical techniques within your own practice, using the NobelClinican planning software, as well as the option to bring your own patients to Guy's Dental Implant Centre, our state of the art implant teaching centre, for implant treatment under one-to-one mentoring with Dr David Guy.  Clinical arrangements will be made on an individual basis to take consideration of the varied experience levels of the attendees.

 

GDC and Professional Guidelines on Implant Training

 

Recent training and GDC recommendations are that implant dentists should practise within their Scope of Practice according to criteria for Simple and Complex cases. Guidelines state that dentists require further and ongoing implant training to justify their scope of implant practice. This course is designed to address those training needs.

 

Course Description

 

  • Learn the optimised implant treatment plan workflow concept, utilising technology and refined surgical techniques. NobelClinician software in depth training including implant planning, NobelFusion, and designing and ordering surgical stents for pilot or guided surgeries.
  • Effective Socket Grafting procedure and implementation in practice.
  • Guided surgery using NobelGuide kits, planning of individual NobelClinician patient cases, and placement of implants on models with NobelGuides.
  • Simultaneous grafting using periosteal incisions and split tissue tunnelling, and the use of membrane fixation screws.
  • How to use NobelGuides using flaps and simultaneous grafting.
  • Complex case planning and occlusal cases.  Treatment sequence for reorganised or multi-disciplinary cases, photos, face-bows articulators, wax ups, trial modifications, hygienic phase, implant temporisation, finalisation, and occlusion.
  • Onlay-block grafting on models, the use of the Piezotome, block-fixation screws, and membranes and particulates, and soft tissue closure, and temporisation.
  • Full arch fixed implants, planning using NobelClinician and workflow for double scan technique
  • All-On-Four protocol and immediate provisional restoration and finalisation.

 

A key component of the course is the intensive training on NobelClinician 3D implant planning software, the full utilisation of technology to enhance raw surgical skills, and the teaching of refined surgical techniques that produce predictable implant success.

 

There are 10 lecture days over a one year period.  The course is held at Guy’s Dental Implant Centre in Cardiff's fashionable Pontcanna area.  The course is limited to a maximum of 8 participants to give an optimum level support to each person.
