What's included

• 12 hours of verifiable CPD
• Multiple planning cases (single-unit and bridge)
• Hands-on guide design in coDiagnostiX
• Guided implant placement on pre-prepared surgical guides
• Straumann guided surgical workflows
• Guidance on guided surgery kits, in liaison with Straumann

Do delegates need to bring their own cases?

Delegates are encouraged to submit suitable STL files and cases before the course. These are used for the digital planning and guide design sessions, and contingency cases are provided where required. The practical surgical session on day two uses pre-prepared guides, so you do not need to bring a case to place on.

What types of cases are covered?

Single-unit and bridge cases, alongside delegate or provided planning cases. Full-arch guided surgery is not covered on this programme.

Will I design a surgical guide on the course?

Yes. Guide design is taught hands-on in coDiagnostiX on day one, so you leave able to plan and design guides for your own cases. The guides used in the practical surgical sessions on day two are pre-prepared for the course, which keeps the surgical time focused on placement technique and verification.

Will I place implants using a guide?

Yes. Day two is fully guided implant placement using pre-prepared surgical guides, covering guided drill protocols, seating and stability, verification and troubleshooting.

Is support available for guided surgery kits?

Yes. Delegates receive guidance on guided surgery kits and related materials, in liaison with Straumann, before the course.
