“…There was a general agreement that the undergraduate education, in the majority of the European countries, does not equip dentists with the clinical skills needed to implement the full spectrum of implant dentistry expected in a modern general practice. This finding is consistent with previous reports , although there has been a recent increase in undergraduates gaining experience in straightforward implant prosthetics . A dental graduate relies on attending CPD courses either to acquire and develop his/her initial core knowledge and skills in implant dentistry or to keep these up to date as part of his/her lifelong learning activity.…”

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.

“…Recently, a systematic review and a survey on implant dentistry education in Europe have revealed that a substantial number of dental curricula have been fulfilling the 2009 recommendation to include at least limited clinical experience in implant surgery . However, this does not refer to surgical placement of oral implants by undergraduate students, which has not been aspired to by the great majority of institutions.…”

Introduction: Implant dentistry is a treatment modality which has mainstream clinical practice of comprehensive care, which however is not adequately represented in the undergraduate dental curricula. A consensus workshop organised by ADEE in 2008, set the benchmarks for the knowledge and competences a modern dental practitioner must possess with regard to implant dentistry, as well as defined undergraduate and postgraduate pathways for the acquisition of these competences. Today, 5 years later, there exist several challenges for the implementation of these benchmarks in both undergraduate curricula but also post-graduation educational pathways.

“…8 However, in annual surveys of dental school seniors over the past several years, implant dentistry has been one of top areas in which students perceived that the time spent in the curriculum was inadequate. 14 In medical education, Swamy et al found that the transition from didactic training to clinical training was a major source of stress for students. 5,[11][12][13] Initially, implant dentistry training was predominantly didactic in nature.…”

The aims of this study were to assess 1) differences in perceptions of dental implant training between dental students who received didactic training alone (control group) and those who received didactic plus simulation training (test group); 2) differences in response between students with and without clinical experience in implant dentistry; and 3) the interaction effect of simulation training and clinical experience on students' satisfaction. A survey was distributed to the control group in 2014 and to the test group in 2015; both groups were at the same U.S. dental school. Data were collected on confidence levels with various implant restorative procedures along with overall satisfaction and number of implant restorations performed by each student. The response rate was 78.7% in the control group and 81.3% in the test group. In the control group, 85.7% of students reported being satisfied with implant training compared to 90.8% of students in the test group. The interaction effect of simulation training and clinical experience on overall student satisfaction was OR=1.5 at 95% CI: 0.8, 3.0. The students who had clinical experience with implant restorative procedures had significantly greater satisfaction than those who did not (OR=4.8, 95% CI: 2.1, 11.1, p<0.01). This study found that both the simulation and clinical experience affected these students' confidence and satisfaction levels with implant education: they were almost five times more satisfied with implant training when clinical experience in implant restorative procedures was a part of their implant education.
