Course Description

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

Format:

  • 8 pre-course papers

  • 9 pre-course on demand webinars

  • A day of face to face seminars

  • 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 is given to delegates gaining hands-on experience of actual surgical procedures for themselves in a relaxed and supportive environment.

As the course is limited to a small group, we usually can adjust the content to meet individual learning requirements.

This course is for users of any dental implant system.

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.

Osteotomes will be used for internal sinus lifts and handpieces and piezo units will be used for external sinus lifts.

The teaching is 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 is limited to 10 delegates in order to maximise the learning experience.

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

The course provides 25 hours of CPD

WHAT IS THE CAMPBELL ACADEMY YEAR THREE IMPLANT COURSE?

UNLOCK COMPLEX IMPLANT DENTISTRY

Our Curriculum in Implant Dentistry training pathway culminates with our Year Three Implant Course. This unique course equips clinicians skilled in advanced implant dentistry to elevate their expertise and tackle complex cases.

The Campbell Academy Year Three Implant Course is delivered in an innovative and modern structure to allow case discussions at the highest possible level, integration into courses provided by world-class individuals and the ability to share and discuss case planning throughout a year with peers and Campbell Academy faculty.

The course begins with the unveiling of our online platforms, where once a month, complex cases are revealed and discussed at length with the whole group, including a Zoom call with the coach for that month.

This case could be a complicated implant case, a complication that has occurred, or a patient with extraordinarily high expectations. Throughout the year, this builds into a case portfolio for individuals to allow them to become more and more confident with cases of greater complexity. This collaborative environment enables participants to propel their implant dentistry skills forward and expand their professional network.

Delegates will have access to exceptional face-to-face Masterclasses with educators from Geneva and Zurich to provide outstanding education experiences in surgery, restorative and soft tissue management.

Participating in The Year Three Implant Course aligns delegates with the ITI curriculum, paving the way towards obtaining the prestigious ITI Diploma in implant dentistry. Throughout the course, we provide complete instruction to fulfil the Diploma’s requirements, including presenting eight high-specification cases, completing an oral examination of blind cases, and engaging in comprehensive discussions on implant dentistry. Please note the ITI Diploma is optional. Registration and payment are required separately and directly with the ITI.

The Year Three Course empowers delegates to exit the course as complex implant practitioners within a tribe of people who share the same values and aspirations for implant dentistry.

It will be one of the most innovative courses in implant dentistry available. We hope to see you there.

 

Course Topics

  • Complex implant cases
  • Complex sinus grafting
  • Complex anterior aesthetic implant dentistry
  • Immediate full arch reconstruction
