Course Description

Our Curriculum in Implant Dentistry training pathway culminates with our Year Three Implant Course. This unique course is designed for clinicians competent with advanced implant dentistry and ready to elevate their skills to 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 or 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, Zurich and Turin to provide outstanding experiences in education in both surgery, restorative and soft tissue management.

By participating in The Year Three Implant Course, delegates are aligned with the ITI curriculum, paving the way towards obtaining the prestigious ITI Diploma in implant dentistry. Throughout the course, full instruction is provided to fulfil the Diploma’s requirements, including presenting eight individual cases to high specification, an oral examination of blind cases, and 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.The course provided comprehensive education and hands-on training in various aspects of implant dentistry. This is delivered through 10 onsite days at The Campbell Academy (5 trips to Nottingham) and through monthly online content and Zoom sessions.
