In May 2015 I attended the live implant course in India run by Dr. Yohan Thomas.We placed 12 implants in patients under the guidance of the University prosthodontists.All patients are managed by the University and the prosthodontics completed by their students. We learned simple incision methods and used a straightforward implant system.It was a great confidence building experience and now my implant practice is growing. I am looking forward to attending the advanced course.

Overall my experience was one of the best of my life. I went from being a completely NERVOUS and inexperienced general dentist to someone who is still inexperienced but now better understand how to assess my patients, have good discussions with them about their options and also be able to prescribe and read CBCT. I am just hoping there is an advanced follow up course because the beginner one was so smoothly run by such a highly skilled calibre of humble specialists.

This implant course was recommended to me by one of my dental colleagues. I have been interested in dental implant but had only done the restorative side of it. I did multiple theory courses but was never confident enough to do the surgical side. This implant course was great as it offered a hands on approach which very valuable. The signing up process was straightforward with implantED. Dr Thomas was helpful and informative, he was meticulous in his planning and organisation of the course.

I would recommend the course. Good having a Australian prosthodontist course coordinator that will be there to facilitate during the course. Good having one on one tutoring during the placement of implants, with tutors that are actual lecturers at the university. They are all willing to share their knowledge and personal experiences Inclusive of flights from good airlines and excellent accomodation that is safe and clean The organisation the flights, the hotel was it what you expected yes. Well organised flights and accomodation. Reliable airlines and wonderful hotel which was more than what I was expecting.

I have done several surgical courses over the years, but still have not felt knowledgeable or confident enough to implement them in my private practice. I completed a course placing implants on cadavers which wereexcellent but again, not the same as placing them in actual patients. This is the key difference to the “Chennai” implant course. I got direct hands on experience with my own “prosthodontist” tutor guiding me all the way. The first day I placed 2 implants, and by day 4 I had placed 5 implants that morning on my own; a total of 12 in one week. I can highly recommend this course to anyone is seriously thinking of introducing implants in their own surgery. This course is practical based and while theory is discussed it mainly focuses on actual placement of implants, which is exactly what I needed.
