This course consists of intensive training in advanced techniques of implant placement in advanced/complex and interdisciplinary cases. It also emphasizes the development of skills in treatment planning complex reconstruction cases including the use of computerized tomography, scanning and computer-assisted implant surgical planning. Clinical skills in the management of surgical complications will also be developed. One focus of the 3rd year is on the impact of different impact lengths, impact diameters and staging procedures on implant survival and success. Another focus is on high-risk patients for implant placement and their management. Contemporary issues, controversies in implantology will be covered in a series of seminars. Regular journal clubs, seminars and workshops are held to critically evaluate the current literature and gain the theoretical background required. Didactic instruction in this course complements clinical activities. This is the final semester of the DClinDent-Periodontics program which will be completed by the Final Exam! Students may be required to attend classes at multiple locations.
