Peri-implantitis
2 hours CPD
Dentists and hygienists will encounter more and more dental implants as the number being placed continues to grow. Many clinicians are unsure about how to look after implants placed elsewhere, and are understandably reluctant to do anything that may cause harm. As our patients and their implants age, peri-implantitis is also a growing problem.
This excellent 2-hour course shows both dentists and hygienists how to monitor and maintain the dental implants of their patients.

Lab Evening
2 hours CPD
This exciting new 2-hour session will show you exactly what happens when work is received at a state-of-the-art dental laboratory. We will demonstrate how the very latest in technology combines with the artistic skills of our experienced technicians to produce the best possible restorations for your patients.
We will also discuss how far the materials and techniques used by dental laboratories have evolved over the last few years. This will help you identify complications before impression taking or scanning resulting in a faster final fit.
