SubjectProsthetics
DescriptionHelp! A new patient arrives with an existing implant. We've all had the same thoughts: What do I need to do? Whose responsibility is this? How can I spot a problem and resolve it quickly? Tim Harris and Colin McQuirk will explain how we should be monitoring and maintaining existing implants in practice. We will be discussing our legal obligations 'Duty of Care', and will offer practical solutions for the most common problems around dental implants in general dental practice.
Additional information

All dentists, hygienists, therapists and dental nurses and PVLE candidates are very welcome.  This course is suitable for those of us in general practice who do not place implants.  This course will not be covering the placement or restoration of implants. 

A light buffet will be available from 6.30pm.  We aim to start the lecture at 6.45pm  with a view to finishing by 8.45pm.
