The ultimate dental implant training model to gain hands-on experience as a part of acquiring skills to safely treat implant patients is now fully established.
Fresh-frozen human tissue is universally considered the gold standard for surgical training. PID-Academy embraces this state of the art simulated surgery as a part of their practical dental implant training course. The most recent module in July 2014 focused on surgical techniques and anatomy of the head and neck.
This module took place at one of the most advanced simulation centres in the UK, the Manchester Surgical Skills and Simulation Centre (MSSSC). It is equipped with the most modern instruments for surgical training supported by up to date audiovisual technology. Most importantly the professionalism of the support staff at MSSSC allowed this training session to run smoothly and effectively.
The participants of the dental implant training programme run by PID-Academy, UK, were able to carry out a variety of basic and advanced surgical implant procedures. These procedures were planned using 3D interactive software (Simplant). This allowed the participants to relate the CT scan imaging to the specific specimen being used.
The relevance of anatomy to the specific procedure to be carried out underscored the need for safe treatment. A broad range of dental implant related procedures was carried out. These included immediate implant placement, bone expansion, guided bone regeneration (GBR), and sinus floor manipulation using internally irrigated osteotomy burs as well as a range of osteotomes.
Augmentation procedures such as sinus lift and block bone grafts were also carried out. The intricacy of nerve repositioning was demonstrated. All participants explored key anatomical structures for avoidance of injury, e.g. the mental foramina, greater palatine vessels, etc.
Incisions and flap designs as a part of sound soft tissue management were practiced as the basis to successful surgery.
