In this new innovative and interactive course, practitioners will learn how to reconstruct straightforward implants. The course will be taught over 6 weeks through a series of modules based on our dedicated online learning platform which includes practicals and relies on the motivation and self-direction of the people who attend to apply themselves for six weeks.

The modules will involve projects that will need to be undertaken at your own practice and some will involve an element of hands-on training on models. Each project will then be submitted to your course peers for comment and discussion and you will be required to comment on others' work. This will form the foundation of an immersive and peer-led learning experience the likes of which you may not have experienced before. Academy tutors will be on hand to add insight and feedback where appropriate and get you started on your implant journey.
