 IMPLANT CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME
INTRODUCTION
AIM

Create an outstanding clinical and certification program in implant dentistry

Develop the next generation of premier clinician scholars in implant dentistry

Develop a strong connection with the next generation dentists

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this implant programme is to develop the necessary skills for
the students and the General Practioners in utilisation of dental implants to restore
the functional and esthetic requirements of their patients. Upon successful
completion of this program, all the participants will have a thorough
understanding and clinical competence in the diagnosis, surgical placement of
endosseous dental implants and restoration of dental implants.

OUTCOMES
