It's designed to enable dental implant surgeons to diagnose and provide an immediate functional and aesthetic tooth replacement with predictability.

During the course you'll:

  • become familiar with the history and principles of the All-on-4 technique
  • understand the principles of treatment planning an All-on-4 case
  • see and become familiar with the planning stages for an All-on-4 procedure
  • see the surgical placement and immediate loading of a single jaw
  • understand the use of CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) in diagnosis and planning
  • see the use of guided surgery to aid implant placement
  • see the surgical and restorative stages for the All-on-4 procedure

The course is run by the UCL Eastman Dental Institute in London which has a broad range of continuing professional development (CPD) short courses. These provide hands-on training from experienced staff in dedicated facilities.

The course will cover the following:

  • Patient assessment, basic implant science
  • Implant planning for immediate placement and loading

    Who this course is for

    The course is aimed at experienced implant surgeons who'd like to develop an overview of this rapidly changing field. It serves as an excellent introduction to further training in implant treatment.

    You'll need to hold an approved dental qualification and be an experienced implant surgeon.

    Teaching and structure

    Each day will run from approximately 9:30am to 5pm.

    The morning sessions provide interactive seminars on the theoretical aspects of dental implants. The seminars are supplemented with videos of live clinical cases to highlight key stages in treatment.
