Dental Tribune U.S.Edition No.2, 2017

a4 EDUCATION Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | February 2017 ‘Q-Implant Marathon’ offers hands-on, live-surgery implantology courses ChiCago BooTh No. 1115 Earn 60 C.E. hours and gain practical experience Continuing education in dental implantology has traditionally focused on theoretical aspects of the spe- ciality. Trinon Collegium Practicum (TCP) challenges this training approach by offering practice-orientated dental implantology courses. Its “Q-Implant Marathon” curriculum specializes in hands-on training. Problems with traditional education Traditionally, entering the field of implantology has been difficult for many dentists. It might not be a sub- ject of university education — with many universities and courses focusing mainly on theoretical orienta- tion. Because of this, establishing oneself within this particular area of dental medicine can prove to be a time-consuming endeavor. Further complicating the matter, many of the educational and training pro- grams rarely present an opportunity for practitioners to practice directly on patients. Learning by doing Since 2003, the “Q-Implant Marathon” has offered hands-on training that incorporates a live patient model. Participants spend five days assisting and lead- ing surgeries under the supervision of TCP’s experi- Ad enced surgical team. The Academy of General Dentistry accredits the “Q-Implant Marathon,” and all par- ticipants are eligible to receive 60 continuing education credit hours. The “Q-Implant Marathon” offers three levels of training on the basis of practitioner experience: • Beginner: Participants lead the placement of 30 implants, while as- sisting on dozens more. • Advanced (two levels): Partici- ‘Q-Implant Marathon’ course participants.

You can visit booth No. 1115 at the Chicago Midwin- ter Meeting exhibit hall to register for an upcoming course. Comments from previous attendees include: • “Prior to coming to this course, I had only theoretical/ didactic knowledge in implantology. You gain immense knowledge in placement, treatment planning and surgi- cal skills. As a beginner, I would highly recommend tak- ing this course to advance your career.” – Q-Implant course participant (Beginner Level) • “I found the hands-on, level-2 course invaluable. The learning environment was supportive and the training and feedback with total hands-on instruction was the one thing my previous training lacked.” – Q-Implant course participant (Advanced Level) Learn more about the courses by calling (630) 705- 1002, visiting www.implantologycourses.com or email- ing register@implantologycourses.com.
