Good quality training and support are essential before considering providing Implants as a treatment option.
There are a variety of different courses available, some are run by Implant Companies some are run by independent organistations and some that can lead to additional registrable qualifications. It’s important to note the GDC’s guidelines on what they consider to be appropriate training and choose the course that you feel is most appropriate for you.
It’s also wise to consider what support you get after the course, such as mentoring, assistance with your first few cases.
GIFT run an Implantology Course which is the starting point for the University of Warwick MSc in Implant Dentistry. www.gift.org.gg There is a network of training centres across the UK.
I hope that this helps?
