Abstract:Dentists need CPD to develop their skills and to maintain their competence in ID. There is an urgent need for structured and accredited CPD, which should be readily available to all dentists practising ID. It should have pre-determined learning objectives, delivered by accredited CPD providers and educators, and have assessable outcome measures to ensure the best possible impact on clinical practice and patient safety.

“…This form of training is generally poorly structured with little regulation or harmonisation across Europe. Accreditation or quality control of CPD education also shows a great variance from one country to another .A framework for CPD in implant dentistry (ID) for the graduate dentist.

“…Study club meetings have been rated as the second common source of CPD in implant dentistry. Structured, modular CPD programmes with clinical experience under mentor supervision are relatively rare . b) It is recommended that CPD in implant dentistry should be well structured and preferably delivered in a modular format with tangible benefits such as a recognised credit system. This would allow the participants some element of learner control over time, place, direction and content of learning, which should be based on their individual needs and career aspirations.c) CPD programmes should be designed to incorporate a blended teaching and learning methodology.…”
Introduction: Training for dental practitioners in implant dentistry ranges from 1-or 2-day short Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses to certificate/diploma programmes run by universities. In general, the teaching of implant dentistry in Europe lacks structure and standardisation. This paper aims to: (i) identify the current trends in CPD in implant dentistry in Europe; (ii) identify potential and limitations with regards to the design and implementation of CPD activities in implant dentistry; (iii) provide recommendations on the future structure and development of CPD activities in implant dentistry.

“…First, two questionnaire surveys were conducted to investigate the current status of implant dentistry education, one focusing on university education and the other on CPD . These surveys provide a very good insight into the achievements of the last few years, but also pinpoint the emerging challenges.…”
The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a dental implant surgery simulator that allows learners to experience the drilling forces necessary to perform an osteotomy in the posterior mandibular bone. The simulator contains a force-sensing device that receives input and counteracts this force, which is felt as resistance by the user. The device consists of an actuator, a load cell, and a control unit. A mandibular bone model was fabricated in which the predicted forces necessary to drill the cortical and trabecular bone were determined via micro CT image-based 3D inite element analysis. The simulator was evaluated by ive dentists from the Department of Implantology at Tokyo Dental College. The ability of the evaluators to distinguish the drilling resistance through different regions of the mandibular bone was investigated. Of the ive dentists, four sensed the change in resistance when the drill perforated the upper cortical bone. All ive dentists were able to detect when the drill made contact with lingual cortical bone and when the lingual bone was perforated. This project successfully developed a dental implant surgery simulator that allows users to experience the forces necessary to drill through types of bone encountered during osteotomy. Furthermore, the researchers were able to build a device by which excessive drilling simulates a situation in which the lingual cortical bone is perforated-a situation that could lead to negative repercussions in a clinical setting.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
