Course Overview

The Level 7 PG Diploma in Implant Prosthodontics is focused on delegates who want to build-up their skills to treat simple implant patients with a focus on restoring implants. The qualification consists of 8 units delivered over 27 days in the form of practical sessions, lectures, demonstrations and live patient treatment days.

The course covers the key aspects of restorative dentistry and dental implantology to provide evidence based, safe and predictable treatment of participants own cases. Knowledge of topics such as Occlusion and use of articulators provides additional grounding for a dentist to treatment plan a case and then place and restore an implant to deliver best results to patients.

As a live patient course, there is significant focus on patient selection and identification of suitable implant patients using latest techniques and diagnostic tools. We ensure that planning stages are comprehensive and thorough, assuring that the patient journey is smooth and predictable. The Restorative part of the course covers topics such are Occlusion, Articulators, TMJ Splints, Basic Tooth Preparations, Introduction to Endodontics & Periodontics and Treatment Planning. These topics prepare a delegate to identify, plan and deliver treatment results with best outcomes.

As delegates work towards placing implants under supervision, they will be able to practice these skills by treating patients, not only delivering results but knowing the reasons why the results were delivered.

The course can be completed as a standard course within approximately 12 or 18 months or as an extended course which is completed within approximately 18 to 36 months

Dr. Paul Mandon-Gassman

BDS

Show biography»

I qualified from Sheffield in 1987 and moved to Kent in 1994, working at his current practice since 1998, becoming a co-owner in 2002 and achieving Denplan Excel Accreditation in 2004.

For over 20 years I have sought out the best teachers in the world in cosmetic, reconstructive and functional dentistry to gain the skills that I now offer patients at Sturry Dental Practice in Canterbury, Kent. I created the exclusivesmiles.co.uk brand to showcase the best that modern dentistry has to offer. I also provide sessions at Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital for Medway Community Healthcare as a Dental Officer treating special needs patients.

As a previous full member of the British Academy of Cosmetic dentistry (BACD), I have experience in treating all type of cosmetic problems from simple tooth whitening to full smile makeovers. In the past I have been a member of the BACD membership, communication and congress committees. I have a reputation for a conservative approach to dentistry that will offer long term aesthetic results from the minimum of intervention; this can be seen with my use of various brace systems to align teeth prior to a final makeover.

I have a special interest in the treatment of head, neck and facial pain and its relation to poor jaw function and am a member of the British Society of Occlusal Studies (BSOS) which exists to help practitioners treat and prevent these common problems. Membership is by invitation only to practising dentists who have completed an arduous training programme which typically takes five years. I have lectured on the subject to other dentists and technicians and provided hands on courses on Facebow use and jaw registration.

I am an “opinion leader” for Ivoclar Vivadent and lecture and tutor hands on courses for them on Composites, Cements and tooth preparation for the Emax ceramic system.

I like to help people to understand what dentistry can offer them and as the No1 ‘Active Dentist’ on the award-winning patient education website All About Teeth (allaboutteeth.co.uk), spend time answering the public’s questions regarding their dental concerns. I am also a member of the Association of Dental Implantology UK (ADI, visit adi.org.uk), a registered charity dedicated to providing the profession with continuing implant education and the public with a greater understanding of the benefits of dental implants. I am a full member of the Tipton Training Dental Academy which provides me with the latest dental scientific knowledge and clinical techniques. I am honoured to have been asked by Paul Tipton to act as a Study Club Chairperson for the British Academy of Restorative Dentistry

I found the teaching style highly engaging with what seemed to me to be a perfect blend of research based analysis with clinical prosthetic tips that could be applied almost instantly in practice the following day.

Why should I do the PG Diploma in Implant Prosthodontics?

The PG Diploma in Implant & Prosthodontics is a live patient course that provides an opportunity to increase your knowledge of Implant dentistry and key elements of restorative dentistry. It is most suited for dentists who want to enter private dentistry and are keen to setup their practice around implant dentistry.

What is the benefit of doing PG Diploma in Implant Prosthodontics and not just to the PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and PG Certificate in Dental Implantology?

The benefits of doing a PG Diploma when compared to doing the separate PG Certificates is firstly that you will save approximately 6% on course fees. More importantly, should you choose to do the PG Diploma in a standard format and complete it within 12 to 18 months you can also reap the advantages of improved treatment delivery earlier. You can choose any options you feel suitable as Tipton Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy which will ensure that your existing education within another Tipton Training course is taken into consideration. It is important to note that every time you do a PG Diploma or a PG Certificate you must pay additional registration fees. So, should you choose to register for each course separately, you are paying 3 registrations fees. The flip side is you also get 3 certificates. It all depends on what your ambitions are.

I have done to PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry previously can I join the PG Diploma for the Implant Prosthodontics?

Yes, you can. The PG Diploma in Implant & Prosthodontics contains Units covered in the PG Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and PG Certificate in Dental Implantology. Essentially you can do the PG Diploma if you have completed any one of those courses. Tipton Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy which will ensure that your existing education within another Tipton Training course is taken into consideration. Please speak to our course advisor for further details.
