Overview
Dental Implantology has rapidly evolved into a cornerstone of modern dental practice, offering predictable and long-term solutions for tooth replacement. With increasing patient awareness, higher expectations for aesthetics and function, and the global shift toward evidence-based, minimally invasive dentistry, proficiency in Implantology has become an essential competency for dental professionals
Despite the growing demand, many practitioners face challenges in acquiring systematic training in basic Implantology. This gap necessitates a structured skill enhancement Programme that integrates knowledge, clinical practice, and reflective learning. Ultimately, this Programme is envisioned to empower dental professionals with confidence, competence, and credibility in oral Implantology, thereby enhancing patient outcomes and contributing to the advancement of dental practice.
