Dental Implants Education, Dental Implants Course, Dental Implants Program, Continuing Education in Dental Implants

OVERVIEW

This year concerns the successful implant rehabilitation of either patients requiring complex treatments, or those presenting major atrophies of jaw bones combined with unfavourable intermaxillary relationships. It aims essentially to train scientifically and clinically, both graduates of the first year course on “Comprehensive Implantology” and other experienced implantologists, who wish to extend their surgical competence to all forms of comple procedures and bone grafting techniques.

Enrollment

First year graduates will directly be enrolled to this advance level progressing towards their ambition of becoming Post Graduate Diploma holders.

Experienced practitioners not having ambition of pursuing Post Graduate Diploma or Degree course can attend this advance level on modular basis but the exit award would be inferior to the Diploma.

A glance at second year:

This year will mainly cover topics on managing bone defects, role of biomaterials and biocompatibility in complex implant cases, maxillary sinus grafting, surgical and prosthetic rehabilitation of partially and completely edentulous cases.

Four sessions of advanced clinical implantology of three days each covering curriculum didactically, clinically and practically.

All students must perform one complex case surgery under mentor’s supervision for successfully qualifying to advance level.

Surgical session this year usually takes place in OT environment of our associated hospitals.

All demonstrative surgeries or supervised surgeries would be according to designated topics for that particular module.

Students of diploma or degree course can perform supervised surgeries during any module but short course students will get to perform supervised surgeries during pre designated session.

This year assessment will be through both written and oral examination

NOTE

Every student is required to perform at least one surgery under mentor’s supervision in second year.
Case selection, preparation and presentation should be in accordance to the Institute protocol.
Surgical session dates will be amicably decided between students and mentors.
Though minimum two surgeries should be performed per session.
For group discussion, case discussion and post-op follow up a private group will be formed.
Management reserves the right to increase or decrease number of surgical sessions.
Students should be eligible to perform surgeries in India.
