CLIFTON, N.J., USA: The American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics (AAIP) joined with its affiliates, Atlantic Dental Implant Seminars (ADIS) and the Linkow Implant Institute, to present a four-day comprehensive implant training course in Kingston, Jamaica, at the University of Technology, School of Oral Health Sciences, for 18 dentists from Kazakhstan.
The course, which was held earlier this year, included lectures, surgical and prosthodontic demonstrations, hands-on participation on anatomic manikins and cadavers, diagnosis and treatment planning of implant cases, the construction of surgical templates, diagnostic wax-ups, the insertion of two to six implants by each participant and sinus lifts under supervision of the course faculty.
The 18 participating dentists inserted 67 implants (six immediate placements), performed eight sinus lifts, uncovered 15 implants placed by participants of previous courses, completed seven guided bone regeneration procedures, inserted four immediate-function overdentures and made multiple impressions of various implant situations with a variety of impression materials and techniques.
Patients were provided by the Ministry of Health and the University of Technology, School of Dental Sciences, of Jamaica.
Upon completion of the 35-hour comprehensive implant training program, participating clinicians were able to accomplish the following tasks: identify cases suitable for dental implants; diagnose and treatment plan for preservation and restoration of edentulous and partially edentulous arches; demonstrate competency in the placement of single tooth implants, soft-tissue management and bone augmentation; obtain an ideal implant occlusion; work as part of an implant team with other professionals; and incorporate implant treatment into private practice with quality results, cost effectiveness and profitability.
Patient treatment was provided in the dental clinic of the University of Technology, School of Oral Health Sciences, Kingston, Jamaica, with personalized training in small-group settings. The course is a cooperative effort of the Jamaican Ministry of Health, the University of Technology, School of Dental Sciences, Kingston, Jamaica, and the American Academy of Implant Prosthodontics.
Dr. Mike Shulman is course coordinator, Dr. Leonard I. Linkow is course director and Dr. Sheldon Winkler is course advisor. Course faculty, in addition to Drs. Shulman, Linkow and Winkler, included Drs. Robert Braun, Ira L. Eisenstein, E. Richard Hughes, Charles S. Mandell, Harold F. Morris, Peter A. Neff, Robert Russo and Robert E. Weiner.
Implants and components for AAIP/ADIS implant seminars are provided by HIOSSEN Dental Implants. Dental laboratory support is provided by DCA Laboratory, Inc., Citrus Heights, Calif.; Dani Dental Studio, Tempe, Ariz.; and Dutton Dental Concepts, Inc., Bolivar, Ohio.
The next AAIP/ADIS implant seminars in Jamaica is scheduled for Oct. 18-22 (basic implant dentistry-level 1).
