B4 EDUC AT ION Implant Tribune U.S. Edition | March 2018 A positive twist on implant education By Trinon Collegeium Practicum Staff Continuing education in dental implantology has traditionally focused on theoretical aspects. Trinon Collegium Practicum (TCP) challenges this training approach by offering practice-orientated dental implantology courses. The Q-Implant Marathon offers an engaging curricu- lum specializing in hands-on training, the company asserts. Conventionally, entering the field of implantology has proven difficult for many dentists. Typically, it is not a sub- ject of university education, with many universities and courses focusing largely on theoretical orientation. Because of this, establishing oneself within this particular area of dental medicine can prove to be a time-consuming endeavor. Further complicating the matter is the issue that educational and training pro- grams rarely present an opportunity for practitioners to practice directly on pa- tients. Since 2003, the Q-Implant Marathon has offered hands-on training that in- AD corporates a live patient model. Par- ticipants spend five days assisting and leading surgeries under the supervision of TCP’s experienced surgical team. The Academy of General Dentistry accredits the Q-Implant Marathon, and all partici- pants are eligible to receive 60 continu- ing-education credit hours. The Q-Implant Marathon offers three levels of training on the basis of practi- tioner experience: • Level 1: Participants lead the place- ment of 30 implants, while assisting on dozens more. • Level 2: Participants perform five si- nus lifts and learn foundational bone- splitting techniques. • Level 3: Participants learn advanced grafting techniques, such as ramus and chin block grafts and titanium mesh re- construction.
