IFAL Live Skills course

Course Outline

The Immediate Full Arch Loading Live Skills Course is a national live skills event delivered simultaneously across two UK locations and designed to equip experienced implant clinicians with the knowledge, clinical judgement, and practical understanding required to safely and predictably introduce immediate full arch reconstruction into their practice.
 
Immediate Full Arch Loading is now one of the most sought-after treatments in the UK and Ireland. However, it is also one of the most misunderstood. In some settings, it has been presented as a simplified, one-size-fits-all solution. This approach has inevitably led to avoidable complications and poor outcomes.
 
Make no mistake: full arch implant reconstruction is complex. But when planned carefully, executed methodically, and delivered on the right patients, it can be an extremely rewarding treatment modality for both clinician and patient.
 
The Full Arch Implant Live Skills course follows the same structured, supported approach as our other Live Skills programmes. It is designed for experienced implant surgeons ready to advance to Immediate Full Arch Loading (IFAL), with a strong emphasis on clinical decision-making rather than protocol-driven shortcuts.
 
From case selection and treatment planning, through surgery, provisional restoration, and final reconstruction, the course focuses on how IFAL can be delivered carefully, ethically, and predictably — and just as importantly, when it should not be used.
 
The course is delivered simultaneously in Nottingham and Dundee, allowing delegates across the UK to access the same programme, the same standards, and the same teaching without unnecessary travel. Regardless of location, the curriculum, learning outcomes, and clinical focus remain identical.
 
Over the three-day programme, delegates take part in a structured mix of theoretical teaching, case discussion, and practical learning.
 
On the final day, a live surgical demonstration is carried out at The Campbell Clinic in Nottingham and streamed in real time to Dundee using our established audiovisual setup. This allows all delegates, regardless of location, to observe the same live IFAL case simultaneously.
 
Throughout the procedure, faculty provide live commentary and discussion, with opportunities for delegates at each site to ask questions, explore clinical decision-making, and engage with the case as it progresses. This approach ensures consistency of teaching, shared discussion across locations, and a high-quality live learning experience without compromise.

After qualifying as a hygienist in Edinburgh in 1994, Karen moved to Nottingham, where she worked in various dental practices before taking a five-year career break after the birth of her son.

Since returning to dentistry, Karen has attended various courses to enhance her in-surgery skills. She is a dedicated hygienist keen to equip her patients with the knowledge she has gained to improve their smiles and, ultimately, their general health and well-being. 

Karen has a special interest in implant surgery and maintenance. As maintenance is pivotal to the success of dental implants, Karen has developed and implemented a maintenance programme within the practice to ensure all our implant patients are continually cared for to our high standards. Karen's dedication to the maintenance of dental implants led her peers to elect her to the Committee for The Association of Dental Implantology (ADI), a UK-based organisation supporting dentists and patients, from 2014 to 2016. She organised a highly successful National Congress for the Dental Team, including dental nurses, receptionists, managers, and her Hygienist and Therapist peers. During her role on the ADI committee, Karen travelled the country to lecture dentists on dental implant treatment and maintenance.

Karen has also lectured at the Congress for the International Team for Implantology to promote and emphasise the need for continuing maintenance of dental implants among her peers. As a Key Opinion Leader for Dentsply Sirona, Karen has run courses and delivered lectures to Dentists, Hygienists, and Therapists across the country. Karen recently won a research prize and published a paper on the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene in patients to support and maintain dental implants.

Karen supports the worldwide dental charity Dentaid. In 2008, Karen travelled to Uganda with Christian Relief Uganda in conjunction with Dentaid, where she worked in remote villages, providing emergency dental care to a team of dental professionals. Part of the programme was to promote Dental Health Education linked to primary Health Education in rural schools. She and the team also helped to formulate a now-published book on Infant Oral Mutilation (IOM), a subject at the heart of Dentaid's Educational Development Programme in many African communities.

Karen is a member of the professional bodies of the British Society of Dental Hygiene & Therapy, the British Society of Periodontology, the Association of Dental Implantology, and the International Team for Implantology.
