Clinical Sessions (All modules)
In keeping with the clinical emphasis of the course, ALL participants will observe clinical demonstrations/videos of implant placement and restoration in the following clinical situations. ALL participants will thereafter also treat patients with similar clinical situations. Only Dentsply Sirona Astra/Xive or Southern Implants Tri Nex will be used on the course to allow ease of training. The following clinical situations should ideally be treated on the course by EVERY participant :
• Single missing tooth in the anterior/posterior zone
• Short edentulous span with 2 or more missing teeth
• Fully edentulous upper/ lower arch with implant retained/supported overdenture
Participants may bring their own patients for treatment on the course after prior approval or choose to treat local course patients at no charge. Please refer the Course Fees page to understand all options available for clinical treatment of patients on the course at the course location and at other locations. All dental implant, componentry, lab, sedation and stent costs are to be met by participants. A consultant anaesthetist can be available during all surgical sessions on request and at an additional cost.
