Our Philosphy

A course like no other… Outcome based thinking

This is combined with a desire to have a social responsibility aspect to give to those less fortunate in global society in general. Many have enquired about it.

There is contact teaching in the UK with a practical surgical module in Cairo, Egypt. The UK teaching provides a detailed, comprehensive coverage of the subject of dental implantology that fully complies with all GDC requirements. The Cairo surgical module, is an intense, immersive week where delegates get to place implants themselves under direct supervision of the directors and faculty but also observe their delegate colleagues meaning that delegates are directly involved in 50 – 60 implants. The exotic location and exhilarating experience make for lifelong memories and friends.

Implants are placed on patients who are in great need of them but who are socially and economically deprived. They would never be able to afford the treatment that is provided for them free of charge. They put their trust in the Practical implantology team and we respect that they are giving our delegates the opportunity to gain a lifelong skill. Every implant on every patient is fully restored, again at no cost, chiefly by Sam who gives freely of his time as part of his desire to give something back to the country of his birth.

There are many respectable, reputable and well designed implant courses now, which offer a great content and a great learning experience, the Practical Implantology Course is not simply about patient assessment, restorative planning, surgical techniques or implant placement; it embraces a much wider concept and an outcome based methodology, rather than a process based one.

Practical Implantology has a vision the driving force behind it was to make everyone involved a winner. This was not difficult once we put the process aside and applied the focus on the outcome. The process then evolved and had a real purpose. In other words, the repeated practical application of the learning so that it becomes more refined and instills confidence in the learner to achieve the desired outcome.

Practical Implantology Academy’s outcome based thinking and methodology has created a unique winning formula which in our opinion surpasses all else. Our desire is that everyone involved in the process wins.

Patients

Patients enrolled in the practical implantology practical module receive the utmost care from planning to restoration. They get all this absolutely free of charge. These patients cannot afford even regular dentistry but they are restored to form and function on the course utilising the best skills and care. It is so gratifying to be able to help the less fortunate; and they very much appreciate it. During the cohorts hundreds of implants implants have been placed by the candidates, most of which are now restored and in function and the rest in process.
