The science of implantology has undoubtedly come into its own over the last few decades. From pathbreaking scientific research in Sweden in the early 50s, to becoming the most sought after tooth replacement solution, the humble dental implant has come through much evolution. Many dental practitioners are constantly seeking continuing education in implantology, sometimes to keep up with evolving scientific change and sometimes to empower themselves to offer a comprehensive implant solution in their practice. This course is designed for exactly that kind of dental practitioner and it offers a basic and yet, fairly comprehensive, introduction to this wonderful science.
Implantology one-on-one is our flagship course in dental implants. Designed to be a clinically centred course that creates dental implant clinicians by mentoring them with individual attention, the course title represents not only the clinical hand held instruction that every participant receives, but the ongoing support that is provided even AFTER the course for every clinician’s individual patients.
What makes THIS course worth taking?
• It is limited to a very SMALL GROUP of clinicians and is all about focussed education in a clinical setting
• It is didactic in nature and is yet strongly clinically oriented, giving every participating clinician the opportunity to WORK WITH PATIENTS (see Clinical Sessions options tab below) and not just models/animal jaws
• It takes you through the entire treatment sequence, offering you the opportunity to actually EXPERIENCE AND PERFORM ALL diagnostics, surgery, pre prosthetic phase management and final prosthodontics yourself
• You will see and treat the most COMMON CLINICAL SCENARIOS that you are likely to encounter- a single missing tooth, small edentulous spans and the fully edentulous patient who is seeking an implant overdenture
• You will receive POST COURSE SUPPORT that will help you with treatment planning and execution. You will be mentored as you evolve, to provide dental implants to your patients
This course is an online version of the Implantology One on One course that requires physical attendance. It was created in response to a demand for online education. It also offers the participant the opportunity to complete the entire didactic curriculum at a pace of their choosing. It also provides all clinical didactics, hands on exercises and clinical sessions in an university setting. The clinical sessions on this course are also unique in that they provide experience with all aspects of the implant treatment process including surgical placement, second stage surgery, prosthodontic records and prosthodontic delivery over a one week duration. All cases are also carefully planned during the university didactic sessions onsite, in keeping with The ACE Institute’s philosophy of CT based guided surgery. More information is available under the Clinical Sessions tab at the bottom of this page.
Plan the most common basic clinical situations encountered in everyday dental practice:
Produce your own surgical guides with in office milling or printing and use guided surgery instrumentation
Use multiple types of implant planning software including Proguide Plan/RealGuide with free planning licenses.
Predictably perform guided surgery for single teeth, short edentulous spans and overdentures
Provide
Introduce effective maintenance protocols for your patients and prevent peri implant disease
Identify peri implant mucositis and periimplantitis and treat these conditions or refer them to a specialist
Manage consent and introduce patient shared decision making
Market your practice effectively as a implant solution providing practice
Interact with multiple specialists and providers for an interdisciplinary understanding of implantology

This clinical session option allows a participant to place 10 implants in single, short edentulous span and overdenture situations. A participant will also restore 2 integrated implants using analog/digital protocols. The entire session will be conducted at our extramural hybrid course facility that can be viewed here.
Patient enrolment : All patients for treatment on the clinical sessions will be identified by the Department of Oral Implantology at Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals. All patients will have to be treated in accordance with university and course protocols and local regulations that require stringent diagnosis and treatment planning. All patient treatment will be supervised by onsite faculty with a high faculty : student ratio that allows for individual attention. All patients will provide course prescribed full informed consent for their participation on the course.
Treatment Planning Sessions : Online and onsite sessions for treatment planning will precede the actual clinical sessions. While preliminary online sessions will involve only case discussions, onsite sessions will include surgical treatment planning in course prescribed software along with the fabrication of surgical guides for all patients. With the additional help of initial hands on exercises with animal jaws and/or teaching models, all participants will then be prepared for their patient based surgical sessions.
Surgical and Restorative Sessions : All participants will place 10 implants in single, short edentulous span and overdenture situations. A participant will also restore 2 integrated implants using analog/digital protocols. The entire session will be conducted at the extramural hybrid course facility that can be viewed here.
