Hugo Patrao

RDT & Head of Medical Service Centre, SMOP

Hugo has a degree in dental technology and has been working with heads of research and development teams from around the world. He is passionate about helping clinicians incorporate new technologies and digital planning into their practices and protocols, designing drilling guides and developing new drilling procedures.

As per regulations, in order to treat dental patients within the UK you are required to have a GDC registration.

If you are a dentist from the outside of the UK, you can still enrol on the course.

As the course does not involve treatment on live patients, it is not mandatory to be registered with your professional body for the course but advised.

To gain the most from the course, we advise that you are a dentist practicing currently.

The course is a Unique Blending Learning Programme – This involves both a Theoretical and a Practical Element.

Theoretical Element – This involves lectures which are provided and assessed online over the course of 5 Modules, within your individual portal.

Practical Element – This involves a Practical Study Day which will include Hands-On Sessions  

The Practical Element Involves Hands-on Exercises guided by the Clinical Instructor on the SMOP Software and on Models.

The Practical Element Involves:

  • An overview of the data acquisition and the pitfalls that can occur
  • Recognizing the different types of Surgical Guides
  • Understanding the different Sleeves, Surgical Guide Drill Kits and Protocols used
  • Undertaking a Hands-on exercise on designing a Surgical Guide using SMOP for Pilot Guided Only and Fully Guided Surgery
  • Undertaking a Hands-on exercise on placement of Implants onto Models, using the Surgical Guide & Kits for both Pilot Only (Initial) and Fully Guided (Integral) Surgery

We currently use the Anthogyr Implant System.

As a responsible Education Training organisation focused on providing high quality implant training, at Implant Conneqt we decided to keep the implant system fixed within the course. The implant system is selected by the Clinical Leads and is based on the research that the implant is based on.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t any other systems with a similar quality product.

Yes.

As part of the Practical Day, there will be Hands-on Exercises to allow you to familiarize yourself with the Integral Surgical Guide Drill Kit, Protocols, and placement of an Implant on Models with a Surgical Guide.

Yes.

The Implant Conneqt Postgraduate Short Course has been designed and specifically focused to teach the following dentists:

  1. Those who have little to or no experience in Guided Implant Placement.
  2. Those who have previously undertaken a Course and require more Practical Experience to improve their confidence and competence
  3. Those who want a refresher in Guided Implantology and to add it to their portfolio of skills.

You can enrol anytime in the year and start anytime in the year. There is no set start date but you have 6 Months to complete the course from date of enrolment. (If your Practical Day is more than 6 months from the date of enrolment, it will extend to this date)

The Implant Conneqt Short Course has been designed and specifically focused to give flexibility to dentists, but also allow them to elevate their skills when enrolling on an Education Programme.

We do not offer a Finance Facility for Short Courses.

The Total Fee for the Implant Conneqt Short Courses would need to be paid in Full when enrolling.

The Fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable.

No.

You are advised to bring any cases with you if you would like to discuss them with the Clinical Instructor, but this is not essential.

Dental Loupes are also advised to reduce strain and fatigue and improve your performance.

The Implant Conneqt Postgraduate Short Course in Surgical Guides has been designed and specifically focused to teach the following dentists:

  1. Those who have little to or no experience in Guided Implant Placement.
  2. Those who have previously undertaken a Course and require more Practical Experience to improve their confidence and competence
  3. Those who want a refresher in Guided Implantology and to add it to their portfolio of skills.

Multiple Units are more complex both in terms of Treatment Planning and Surgical Treatment. This isn’t part of the day but if the Clinical Instructor thinks the group will benefit from this or we have time, we will aim to add this in ad hoc.

No. The Short Course and the Practical Day will not include any live patients.  

However, you will be required to have the correct level of Indemnity / Insurance to cover you when undertaking treatment on patients

The cost will be based on your relationship and record with your Professional Indemnity / Insurance.

As an Educational Organisation, we have no influence over this and cannot enrol you onto the Implant Conneqt Course without adequate Professional Indemnity / Insurance Cover.
