Guided Surgery & Digital Treatment Planning

A practical two-day programme focused on planning, guide design and fully guided implant placement using contemporary digital workflows.

Learn how to move confidently from scan acquisition and coDiagnostics planning through to guide fabrication, guided surgery and verification.

Learn the complete workflow behind contemporary guided implant surgery.

This practical two-day programme is designed to help clinicians understand how guided surgery works from start to finish — from scan acquisition and treatment planning through to guide fabrication and surgical placement.

The emphasis throughout is on practical implementation, clearer workflows and helping delegates confidently integrate digital planning into everyday implant practice.

Dentists wanting clearer digital systems

Including scanning, planning and surgical workflows.

Clinicians wanting practical implementation

Focused on real clinical workflows rather than theory alone.

When is the course taking place?

The course will take place on the 8th and 9th October at The Campbell Academy.

What is the course fee?

The course fee is £1,995 including VAT.

How many CPD hours are included?

Delegates will receive 12 hours of verifiable CPD.

Do I need experience placing implants before attending?

Yes. The programme is designed for clinicians already placing implants who want to integrate guided surgery and digital planning workflows into practice.

Do delegates need to bring their own cases?

Delegates are encouraged to submit suitable STL files and cases before the course. Contingency cases will also be provided where required.

What types of cases will be covered?

The course includes single unit and bridge cases, alongside delegate or provided planning cases. Full arch guided surgery will not be covered during this programme.

Will delegates use guides they have designed themselves?

Yes. Guides designed during day one are fabricated overnight and then used during the practical surgical sessions on day two.

Do I need an intraoral scanner to attend?

No. The course also discusses workflows for clinicians who may not yet have intraoral scanning integrated within practice.

Will support be available for guided surgery kits?

Yes. Delegates will receive guidance regarding guided surgery kits and related materials in liaison with Straumann before the course.
