Single Unit Implant Restorations – Module R1 (2026)

This is a series of THREE 3-day courses; TWO of which are on Restorative Implantology and TWO which is on Guided Surgical Implantology which includes design of surgical guides using CoDiagnostiX software. This course contains both didactic and practical components, and the content is strongly evidence-based, aiding the clinical operator to have confidence that their procedures have been validated by research. The courses cover:

• Module R1 – Single Unit Implant Restorations
• Module R2 – Multi Unit Implant Restorations
• Module S1 – Single and Multi-Unit Surgical Guide Design & Guided Implant Surgery
• Module S2 – Guided Immediate Implant, Partial Extraction Therapy and Crestal Sinus Lift, Guided Bone Regeneration & Guide Design

Module R1 covers single unit fixed implant supported crowns. This includes:

• Prosthetic implant componentry for fixed prostheses
• Diagnosis and treatment planning via “prosthetically driven” implant placement
• Fundamental differences between teeth and implants
• Differences between external and internal connections
• Choice of restorative platforms
• Types and materials of abutments, and guidelines for use
• Angulated abutments vs. angulated screw channels
• Understanding all different types of impression copings and fabricating customised impression copings
• Cement-retained vs. screw-retained prostheses (and direct-to-fixture)
• Loading schedules
• Implant protected occlusal concepts and progressive loading
• Maintenance and review
