Our postgraduate Dental Implantology course provides the busy General Dental Practitioner with a part-time educational route to acquire the skills and knowledge required of a Dentist with Special Interest (DwiSI). Students can study for an MSc over two years.

Dental Implantology aims to develop a critical understanding and the ability to evaluate the clinical theory, practice and associated research applied to the practice of dental implantology as a mode of referred treatment.

Our postgraduate course will provide you with the opportunities to apply the clinical theory, practice and associated research in the provision of dental implantology within the primary care setting. This course focuses on contemporary practice, teaching evidence-based principles and systems to ensure an optimal outcome for the patient and practitioner.

This course is aimed at dentists who are either just starting their journey with dental implants or those looking for a solution to enhance their existing workflows, to predictably streamline implant overdenture therapy. Straumann removable solutions provides access to a trusted, reliable hybrid denture connection.

The course will cover key surgical and prosthodontic concepts for planning and designing these prostheses, with a focus on decision making, clinical techniques, and protocols to optimise use of the
Novaloc® system for long-term success

This one-day course is run by Dr Hassan Maghaireh, the founder of the prestigious BAIRD implant academy. This course offers delegates a unique opportunity to be exposed to a range of Straumann Digital workflow solutions, from iOs scanning and data collection, through to smile design, implant planning and Guided Surgery. All delegates will gain exclusive business opportunities to start them on their Digital Journey.

A 1-day face-to-face workshop which introduces clinicians to Guided Surgery and specifically the Straumann Guided Surgery system by way of clinician-led lectures and hands-on exercises using models, demo implants and guides.

Full Day course inclusive with hands on practical training

This course will cover:

Planning for digital surgical placement using various softwares
Pilot vs Fully Guided Surgery: indications and limitations
Clinical tips and hints on successful guided surgery

* Workshop will be held on planning your own surgical guide and implant placement of fully guided implant with Strauamann BLX/BLT guided kits

A unique opportunity to gain an introduction and hands on experience of sinus lift and block grafting procedures to facilitate dental implant placement, using cadaver heads at a state of the art surgical facility. There is a fantastic range of speakers with a wealth of experience to ensure each delegate gets as much help and support that they need.

This course is aimed at delegates who are largely confident with basic GBR procedures and suturing however we do have some flexibility to help consolidate these skills if required. If you feel you need to develop these skills more it may be worth attending the Implant Treatment Planning Course prior to the Cadaver Course – these courses link up well.

This is a 3-day workshop on sinus lifts and block grafting for dental implants in the Cambridge area.
The focus is on hands-on high-fidelity practical experience to introduce the general dental practitioner to advanced dental implant treatment.

The format will involve pre-course webinars and reading lists followed by a day of face-to-face seminars and 2 days of hands on experience on fresh frozen cadavers with 1 head shared between 2 delegates.

The course is comprehensive with broad background information provided from an evidence-based and pragmatic perspective to allow practitioners to safely introduce these techniques into clinical practice.

Priority will be given to delegates gaining hands-on experience of actual surgical procedures for themselves in a relaxed and supportive environment. Osteotomes will be used for internal sinus lifts and handpieces and piezo units will be used for external sinus lifts.

The teaching will be led by consultants in relevant specialties with supporting seminars from additional medico-legal and scientific experts. This is to provide context to the procedures from a clinical and practical standpoint to underpin the focus on surgical skills.

The course will be limited to 10 delegates in order to maximise the learning experience. As the course is limited to a small group, there is potential to adjust the content to meet individual learning requirements.

The cadavers have been tested for all infectious diseases including Covid-19.

The course provides 25 hours of CPD and meets the criteria for the GDC’s development outcome C.
