How the course runs, making the most of the ITI Curriculum, and all the protocol forms, templates and consent. Afternoon: practical ethics and the marketing of dental implants in general practice.

Anatomy and physiology, bone biology and wound healing, biomechanics and osseointegration, dental materials, relevant medical conditions and pharmacology.

Radiographic assessment of the implant patient, using CBCT day-to-day, current guidelines, anatomy, implant planning and reporting scans.

Instruments, flap design, soft-tissue management and suturing, atraumatic extraction and ridge preservation. Hands-on with pig heads and suture pads, plus an introduction to guided surgery and complications.

Patient selection and SAC classification, restorative-driven 3D planning and consent, then diagnostics, implant design and selection, and temporisation.

Bring your own patients and carry out straightforward implant placements under the supervision of our faculty.

Exposure stage, screw- vs cement-retained restorations, abutment and material selection, analogue and digital impressions, and fitting an implant-retained crown.
