June 14-20, 201030 Events United Kingdom Edition T he Eastman Dental Insti- tute at University College London stands proudly at the forefront of postgradu- ate education and research in the oral healthcare sciences. As a testament to the establish- ment’s ongoing dedication to raising standards in the provi- sion of dental care, the Eastman has been chosen as one of only seven locations in the world to play host to the prestigious Inter- national Team for Implantology (ITI) Education Week, to be held 22-27 November 2010. ITI is a network that unites professionals from around the world who work in the field of im- plant dentistry and related tissue regeneration. As a part of the or- ganisation’s aim to enhance im- plant education worldwide, the ITI Education week offers prac- titioners the opportunity to ad- vance their knowledge and skills in implant-related treatment. Prof Nikolaos Donos is the Head and Chair in Periodontol- ogy, Director of Research and Team Leader at the Eastman’s Clinical Investigation Centre. He is also the Director of the ITI Scho- larship Centre at the UCL East- man Dental Institute. As well as leading the upcoming course, Professor Donos will also be tea- ching in several of the workshops. “The aim of the event is to offer delegates the opportunity to gain a real understanding of implan- tology, from the basics right up to the most advanced levels in a very short period of time, whilst at the same time accruing verifiable CPD,” says Prof Donos. “The cou- rse will involve a number of work- shops, clinical case studies and twosessionsoflivesurgerytoena- ble attendees to gain valuable exp- eriences they can apply in their own surgeries. It’s a very con- densed course, spanning just one week, which at the least will make delegates aware of the different clinical options related to implant dentistry and will also serve as a refresher for more experienced clinicians to help extend their knowledge. Practitioners at any stage in their career paths are very welcome to attend.” What makes the ITI Education Week so unique is its intensity, its long, full days and rotating faculty of renowned internal and external speakers both from the Eastman and abroad. “The event will see a combination of clinical academics and experienced prac- titioners combining forces and sharing their knowledge with del- egates,” Prof Donos adds. The first day of the six day educational session will focus on the principles of bone and soft tis- sue integration, risk assessment, and smile design and associated treatment considerations. The second day will reveal the ben- efits of 3D imaging software and its uses in advanced treatment planning, along with a surgi- cal implant workshop. From the third day onwards, delegates will be presented with a case each day for which they will have to plan treatment in advance. This will be complemented by interactive planning sessions and live sur- gery of an advanced case along with other lectures and work- shops on implants. The fourth day will pick up the pace, covering socket preservation, guided bone regeneration, lectures and work- shops on provisional restorations in the aesthetic zone. Prof Vercel- lotti will take to the stage on day five and delegates will be treated to a second session of live surgery. On the sixth day, the week will draw to a close with lectures and workshops on soft tissue and bio- logical complications associated with implants. The week of learning is the only event of its kind to be held in the UK this year, with similar events planned at dental educa- tion centres in Bern, Stuttgart, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Toronto and Boston. Along with lectures and workshops led by some of the world’s leading thinkers in im- plant dentistry, delegates will en- joy the brand new fourth floor fa- cilities at the Eastman, a number of which were funded by ITI. Says Prof Donos; “It should prove to be a truly interactive experience!” DT ITI Education Week comes to the Eastman ITI Education Week, London.
