Whatever you hope to achieve in your career, your success will be largely dependent on the education and training you undergo. Seizing the opportunity to develop your skills, choosing high quality courses and making the most of the benefits available are all crucial for advancing your career.
Choosing the right training for your existing experience and your professional ambitions is key, especially when it comes to dental implantology. The nature of this modality, combined with the lack of a standardised learning pathway to ‘qualification’, means that quality training is the cornerstone of safe and effective treatment provision.
Straumann – a globally recognised brand – supports an array of training courses in the UK. It works with educational providers that share its ethos for clinically-proven techniques and reliable products. Here are the six of the biggest courses available to clinicians getting started with dental implants:

This offers a comprehensive, evidence-based introduction to dental implantology over in 14 days and provides 91 hours of CPD. It’s the first stepping stone into the ITI’s Academy, which follows the dedicated ITI Continuum pathway of learning, supported all the way by online resources and a globally-leading teaching and mentoring faculty.
