The Ridge Preservation Course:

This under utilised yet highly valuable skill forms the foundations to help maintain gingival and alveolar architecture. From the general to the implant dentist, the 1 day PRESERVE course will provide you with a predictable and simplified approach to ensure you can cultivate the ideal conditions for future implant or bridge placement for your patients. Learn surgical tips to improve your extraction and suturing techniques. Become confident in socket debridement and cleansing. Understand and see the different biomaterials available & the advantages and disadvantages of each. Practice how to use all of these skills to neatly and confidently perform ridge preservation in practice.

Aims:

To understand why, when and how one can use ridge preservation techniques successfully in daily dental practice to improve aesthetic, soft tissue & bony outcomes for our patients. To understand the use of current biomaterials to optimise ridge dimensions and to gain an insight into fundamental extraction, surgical & GBR principles.

Objectives:

• Learn the different behavioural characteristics of:
  Autograft, allograft, xenograft & synthetic bone in respect to ridge preservation

• Learn the principles of dental extractions.

• Understand the importance of adhering to surgical & GBR principles.

• Perform successful extractions with minimal trauma.

• Learn how to visually assess CBCTs and decide the appropriate technique.

• Perform ridge preservation grafts.

• Learn how to internally stabilise the barrier membrane.

The Ceramic & Implant Design Course

Truly spectacular restorative outcomes can only be achieved with an appreciation for the soft tissues and an understanding and knowledge of all ceramic systems. The 1 day RESTORE course will clearly explain the differences and how to best use and prescribe Emax, Zirconia, PFM, monolithic and layered restorations. The result will be superior material selection and lab prescription. Learn the prosthetic design elements and features of implant restorations with hands on impression/scanning and restoration of a single uni implant restoration. This course will equip you with the skills to confidently plan, design and restore any type of case restorative case with style.

Aims:

To understand traditional and modern ceramics to better aid material selection and lab prescription for both tooth based crown, onlays and implant based restorations. To understand the design elements of implants in order to help prescribe placement and restore them successfully in practice.

Objectives:

• Visually recognise & understand anatomy & soft tissue principles in relation to restorative dentistry

• Perform a simplified checklist assessment to help prescribe implant placement to your surgeon

• Visually recognise different implant types, classification and the clinical relevance of each

• Become familiar with the components required for impression, lab construction and restoration

• Understand the difference between modern ceramics and how to best utilise each type

• Learn how to creatively design and prescribe any tooth or implant based ceramic restoration
