Limitations of the course

​​

This course is designed to provide a condensed and immersive training experience in dental implant surgery. There will also be lectures to supplement what you are learning in practice. You will also receive min 25 hours of verifiable  CPD and a certificate from the British University in Egypt. 

​

The guidelines for implant dentistry training for UK practitioners recommends 20 mentored cases for beginner practitioners and this course's cases can count towards  requirements as long as they are correctly supervised, logged and signed off by the supervisor/mentor.

 

The full requirements cannot be fulfilled by this course alone. The document Training Standards in Implant Dentistry 2016 provides broad guidelines for those who wish to achieve full training status. It mentions:

 

- Two broad (but inevitably interchangeable) categories of 'Straightforward Placement' and 'Complex Placement'

- The necessity to acquire training through different modalities including accredited training courses, supervised hands-on training with a mentor, maintenance of a log-book and commitment to lifelong learning.

 

Dental Implant Training UK is partnered with the BSID who can provide continuation of your training through their introduction to implant dentistry course and mentoring.

​

The BSID's Introduction to Implant Dentistry course covers all the main subject areas required, but we still recommend further reading, affiliation with one of our partner associations and regular attendance at talks and seminars to ensure that your knowledge continues to develop and that you fulfil all the Training Standards guidelines.

​

This course does not qualify practitioners to perform advanced bone augmentation, sinus augmentation or full arch treatments without the supervision of a mentor or course instructor.

​​

​​

Mentoring

​

Mentoring is an essential component of UK training standards in implant dentistry.

For practitioners wishing to fulfil UK requirements, mentoring will be available in the UK, provided by Implant Training UK and our sister association the BSID.
