Implantology Year CourseWith Dr David Guy

In Association With Biohorizons

Introduction

Implant treatment has now become rmly established within mainstream dentistry.

Single tooth implants have, in many cases, become the standard of care in

preference to conventional bridgework or dentures. The GDC has made clear its

recommendations for the standard of training dentists must undertake to practise

implants in general practice today. This course has been designed to provide a

very high level of practical and theoretical training to give dentists the skills and

condence to provide implant treatment independently in general practice. No prior

experience of implantology is required.

Course Description

The course gives a very prominent role to practical teaching as well as theoretical

aspects. There are 10 lecture days over a one year period, as well as extra practical

sessions with participants own patients.

A key component of the course is that participants will treat their own patients from

start to nish under one-to-one supervision at Guys Dental Clinic, gaining essential

skills and knowledge of real implantology.

Ten patients from participants own practices may be treated during the course

period and an extended period after the course is completed, to allow all delegates to

gain practical experience with a range of increasingly complex implants treatments.

Patients will pay a reduced fee to the practice for this treatment.

In depth teaching will cover implantology from single tooth to full arch restorations,

and principles of bone grafting. The course is held at Guys Dental Clinic and the

lecture facilities on Cathedral Road in Cardiff.

The course is limited to a maximum of 8 participants to give an optimum level

support to each person.
