Course aims:
This is a comprehensive, step by step foundation course in Implant Dentistry, tailored to help general practitioners build up their skills and confidence to safely and efficiently advance in implant dentistry. Participants in the course will have the opportunity to grow both their theoretical understanding and clinical competence in Implant Dentistry in a supervised and environment under expert mentoring. The course will build a solid foundation in the theoretical knowledge and then combine face-to-face teaching and mentoring with hands-on exercises and finally supervised clinical practice aiming to empower learners to practice implant dentistry, with a solid, evidence-based foundation and clinical skills. Cutting edge implant technology and digital workflow will be taught and utilised.
