This module will introduce the concepts and techniques involved in the preparation of a patient for surgery and maintenance of a sterile surgical field. This will include the concepts and discussions required to obtain valid consent. Aspects of basic implant surgery will be covered including local anaesthetic techniques, basic surgical principles and the design, reflection and closure of soft tissue flaps, with specific reference to dental implants. The pre-operative preparation of a patient for surgery and post-operative care will also be discussed.
Lectures and small group teaching on study day 4. Distance learning package delivered via Blackboard including additional podcast lectures/videos and directed reading. This unit is supplemented with a phantom head practise implant placement day. The Clinical Practice attachment Unit and is closely linked with it, teaching is therefore supplemented by one to one teaching and observation of clinical practice.
