Course overview

This new course, and the first dental postgraduate programme at BSMS, draws upon the experience of senior and established dental implant surgeons and restorative specialists in Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

Who is the course for?

The course is aimed at postgraduate level dentists who are interested in developing their dental implant experience: from early-stage dental implant surgeons to more experienced clinicians who want to consolidate their knowledge with a PGDip in implant dentistry.

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

Course structure

How is the course taught?

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 course will be delivered over one to two days per month.

How is the course assessed?

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.
