I industry_ Trinon Collegium Practicum A positive twist on implantology education Author_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 Mara- thon offers an engaging curriculum specializing in hands-on training, Trinon asserts. Conventionally, entering the field of implantol- ogy has proven difficult for many dentists. Typically, it is not a subject of university education, with many universities and courses focusing largely on theoretical orientation. Because of this, establishing oneself within this particular area of dental medi- cine can prove to be a time-consuming endeavor. Further complicating the matter is the issue that educational and training programs rarely present an opportunity for practitioners to practice directly on patients.

Participants 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 participants are eligible to receive 60 continuing- education credit hours. The Q-Implant Marathon offers three levels of training on the basis of practitioner experience: • Level 1: Participants lead the placement of 30 implants, while assisting on dozens more. • Level 2: Participants perform five sinus lifts and learn foundational bone-splitting techniques. • Level 3: Participants learn advanced grafting techniques, such as ramus and chin block grafts and titanium mesh reconstruction. Visit booth No. 2339 at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting for more information. “Prior to coming to this course, I had only theoretical/didactic knowledge in implantol- ogy. You gain immense knowledge in place- ment, treatment planning and surgical skills. As a beginner, I would highly recommend tak- ing this course to advance your career.” – Q-Implant Course participant (Level 1) “I found the hands-on level 2 course invalu- able. 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 (Level 2) For more information on Trinon Collegium Practicum courses, please call (877) 705-1002, e- mail register@implantologycourses.com or visit online at www.implantologycourses.com._ 16 I implants 1_2018
