"The back-up I receive from the company is first class. I also think their commitment to postgraduate education, in the quality of the courses they promote, is unrivalled. These surely help other dental surgeons to hugely develop their skills in the field of implant dentistry. Appropriate, researched, structured training is of paramount importance in implant dentistry."

Confidence to tackle complex implant surgery
Issued: Tuesday, 13 August 2013
Implantologists who want to tackle complex cases can gain hands-on experience on a two-day programme presented by Dr Nadir Khan and Dr Tushar Patel. Delegates on the ‘Sinus Augmentation and Bone Grafting’ course assist with live surgery and practise procedures on sheep’s skulls and pigs’ mandibles. Training takes place at Colchester Dental Referral Centre this October. Further details can be found on the DENTSPLY Implants education website www.courses4implants.com.
The two-day programme is designed for implantologists who wish to understand the management of difficult cases with compromised bone. The content includes demonstrations of bone grafting, sinus floor management and soft tissue grafting, with or without simultaneous implant placement.
Dr Neil Chappell of Halstead Dental Care, Essex, said, “Being in a small group, directly assisting with the live surgery was invaluable.” Dr Srinivas Jakileti of Bermuda Lodge Dental Surgery, Eye, Suffolk, found attending the course had given him “the confidence to carry out more complex surgery”.
Nadir Khan has taught and lectured throughout the UK on the surgical aspects of dental implant therapy and, in particular, the management of compromised bone situations. Tushar Patel has over 25 years of experience in advanced restorative dentistry and orthodontics, and has a Diploma in Implant Dentistry, Advanced Certificate, from the Royal College of Surgeons, England. Colchester Dental Referral Centre is a purpose-designed, multidisciplinary, specialist referral centre.
