This module will develop the awareness of implant surgery complications and their management. Advanced surgical techniques will be introduced including microsurgical techniques and advanced soft tissue management techniques.
Lectures and small group teaching on study day 9. Distance learning package delivered via Blackboard including additional ‘podcast’ lectures/videos and directed reading. This unit runs concurrently with 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.
Formative assessment

Practical assessments:
1. Hands on simulated surgery. Assessment of practical skill, flap design and implant placement in simulated bone, membrane placement and microsurgical techniques.
Summative Assessments
Written assignments:
1. Surgical complications – prevention and management. Written assignment looking at the prevention and management of the complications of implant surgery.
2. Surgical techniques for soft tissue management. Written assignment looking at soft tissue management techniques, including microsurgery.
3. Surgical techniques for the compromised implant site. Structured written assignment looking at techniques for the management of hard and soft tissue changes around implants.
