Dental professionals have one last chance this year to experience the high-quality educational experience of a Nobel Biocare symposium when the final event of the 2017 series takes place in in London, UK, November 10–11. 

A limited number of places are still available for the event, which will be held at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel. The symposium will offer lectures and master classes from both globally renowned experts and the leading local names in implantology. 

Speakers include Dr. Rubén Davó from Alicante, Spain, who will present the new Trefoil system for the first time in the UK. Launched on October 5, the Trefoil system is a breakthrough in efficiency for treating the edentulous mandible, enabling a fixed and definitive prosthesis on the day of surgery.1 

As a principal investigator in an international multi-center study of the Trefoil system conducted prior to launch, Dr. Davó is one of very few clinicians in the world already experienced in treating patients with this latest Nobel Biocare innovation. 

The latest techniques for the treatment of edentulous patients and those with a failing dentition will also be addressed on stage by Prof. Paulo Malo, from Lisbon, Portugal–the pioneer of the original, proven All-on-4® treatment concept–and London-based Dr. Andrew Dawood, who will present the management of the atrophic maxilla using zygomatic implants. 

Other highlights include a comprehensive program covering the integrated digital workflow. Nobel Biocare’s collaborative workflow has been developed to significantly increase treatment efficiency and patient acceptance with the latest digital innovations.2,3 International speakers on the topic include Switzerland’s Dr. Roland Glauser and Drs. Leon Pariente and Karim Dada of Paris, France, who will discuss these latest digital trends shaping implantology and their benefits. 

Over 6,000 dental professionals have attended the 10 Nobel Biocare symposia held already this year, with hundreds more expected in London.

With more than 30 years’ experience, TBR is a leader in the implant field, and at this year’s BDIA Dental Showcase the team showcased their revolutionary Z1 implant.

This tissue level implant combines titanium and zirconia, whose biocompatibility allows for better clinical results. The unique zirconia collar helps improve soft tissue management and prevent peri-implantitis, while offering unmatched aesthetic results. And with a 98% success rate, it is no wonder delegates were wowed.

TBR’s bone level implants were also featured, with platform switching for reduced inflammatory infiltration. They offer long-lasting aesthetics, bone stability and soft tissue preservation, with optimal primary stability in all bone densities.

Delegates could also find out more about the Baby-M and Baby 8 short implants. Using these can help avoid invasive surgery, such as sinus lifts, and lead to long-term aesthetic and functional success.

Some of the most advanced implant systems in the world, TBR’s products are supplied exclusively through Dental Express (a trading division of Surgery Express LLP) in the UK.

For any delegates at Dental Showcase with a growing or existing interest in dental implantology, there were plenty of sources of information and advice.

Among the exhibitions stands was the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) and the team demonstrated just why it remains such a popular organisation in modern dentistry.

As demand increases and the field expands, there are many different ways for dentists and their teams to get involved with dental implantology. Many visitors to the ADI stand were keen to find out about the pathways available to them, with others looking to take their skills to the next level through education, supported by the ADI.

Whatever your past experience with dental implants, the ADI provides a range of resources to help you on your way.

If you missed the ADI at Dental Showcase, information on the organisation and the many benefits available to members is readily available on the website – visit today.
