IMPLANTS IN DENTISTRY- A WHOLE TEAM APPROACH (BE010711)

AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectOther
DescriptionPresented by Rob Oretti and the team from Pentangle Transformations, Newbury, Berkshire; This day is NOT an implant course, it is merely an overview of implants and their use in dentistry
Additional information“The use of implants in dentistry today is not new but requires considerable thought when introducing this treatment modality into a practice. Successful practices can only gain patient acceptance for implant therapy through a whole team approach. This full day presentation will focus on the whole patient journey from the initial patient inquiry regarding implants, information leaflets, the consent process, the surgical and prosthetic stages, and the importance of long term maintenance.
Key points for the dentist will include discussing treatment options that are evidence based, obtaining valid consent and treatment planning each case utilising simple check lists. The Pentangle nurses will demonstrate how to maintain strict aseptic control, before, during and after surgery. This will include draping, instrument preparation and post surgical sterilisation.
Aftercare is a critical factor for long term success and The Pentangle hygienist will discuss the techniques required to maintain health around implants including treatment of peri-implantitis.
The whole day will provide an overview of the main aspect of implant dentistry and the role of of defined protocols for the practice and ‘how we do it’”
