We would like to welcome you to a 3-day workshop on sinus lifts and block grafting for dental implants in the Cambridge area. The focus is on hands-on high-fidelity practical experience to introduce the general dental practitioner to advanced dental implant treatment.
The format will involve pre-course webinars and reading lists followed by a day of face-to-face seminars and 2 days of hands on experience on fresh frozen cadavers with 1 head shared between 2 delegates. The course is comprehensive with broad background information provided from an evidence-based and pragmatic perspective to allow practitioners to safely introduce these techniques into clinical practice. Priority will be given to delegates gaining hands-on experience of actual surgical procedures for themselves in a relaxed and supportive environment.
The teaching will be led by consultants in relevant specialties with supporting seminars from additional medico-legal and scientific experts. This is to provide context to the procedures from a clinical and practical standpoint to underpin the focus on surgical skills.

The course will be limited to 10 delegates in order to maximize the learning experience. As the course is limited to a small group, there is potential to adjust the content to meet individual learning requirements.

Each day provides 6 hours of CPD and meets the criteria for the GDC’s development outcome C.
