Course summary

This new course, and the first dental postgraduate program at BSMS, draws upon the experience of senior and established dental implant surgeons and restorative specialists in Kent, Surrey and Sussex. The course adopts an individualised approach in surgical training, with mentoring, utilising work-based assessments (WBAs) and direct observed procedural skills (DOPS) so that delegates will be able to rapidly progress to more advanced techniques after successfully completing their competency-based assessments. The main emphasis on assignments will be on clinical case presentations and short essays. Students who do not have access to their own patients will be invited to observe clinical sessions and all modules will have live surgery components, with hands on experience in simulation settings and cadaveric training. The course will be delivered over 1-2 days per month. KEY AREAS OF STUDY

  • Patient assessment
  • Treatment planning
  • Principles of surgery and implant surgery
  • Occlusion and restorative perspectives of implant dentistry
  • Bone preservation, bone grafting and soft tissue techniques
  • Managing partially dentate and edentulous cases
  • Emerging techniques in implant dentistry
  • Setting up and maintaining your own personalised dental implant practice
This programme will be uniquely individualised and focused to student needs. Mentoring will be available to enable rapid progression, if appropriate, to more advanced techniques for the established dental implant surgeon. A more focused approach to basics in implant dentistry will also be available for the early-stage dental implant surgeon. The programme also includes emerging techniques with digital workflow and immediate load full arch techniques; hands on surgery with dry-bone/stereolithographic model workshops in phantom head facility; live surgery; cadaveric hands-on training and mentoring. We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
