Implantguideprint introduces its course on guided implant surgery.
Guided implant surgery is changing the way implant dentistry is conducted. At its best it can allow much more accurate and consistent placement of implants, even if you are very experienced. This has many obvious benefits, including the possibility to do flapless procedures, which offers significant advantage to the patient.
However, not all guided surgery is the same and neither is it always appropriate. There are many systems available, often specific to an implant manufacturer, and many ways to use them.
At Implantguideprint (IGP) we aim to help you understand what works best where and when with many different types of guide. You can’t afford to ignore guided surgery, but an understanding will allow you to offer your patients the best possible treatment every time. By offering many types of guide with multiple software and implant manufacturers we can maximise your choice and give the best assistance.
Guided surgery need not be expensive, with guides starting from £80* it becomes affordable for all cases (www.implantguideprint.co.uk).
At IGP we would like to share our knowledge and help you to get to grips with guided surgery and to this end we are organising practical courses. Our next one-day course is on Friday the 29 June in Bristol and titled: Plan to placement – a SMOP training course with a live patient in association with Implantguideprint and Dentale.
Three dimensional implant planning and the use of surgical template solutions have become an indispensable part of modern comprehensive implant treatment. The course describes the different options of a full digital workflow and discusses relevant indications and advantages on the basis of scientific data. The lecture gives a future outlook on upcoming innovations and a summary of the cost-benefit ratio and possible strategies for the practitioner.
