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 Attendees Say
My learning at VSSAcademy™ has completely met my expectations…The clinical guidance while placing implants was excellent. The Clinics were well organised with quality equipment. VSSAcademy™ also provides ongoing online support after the MSc is finished, which is useful for clinicians like me who started their journey of implants.
