An innovative training programme, this course provides dental practitioners with the essential skill set and knowledge required to offer high-quality dental treatment in a safe environment.
The Certificate in Implant Dentistry will be awarded on successful completion of the course. Experienced practitioners or those who have carried out formal training in Implant dentistry can fulfil the criteria by completing the mandatory advanced training units.
This course is innovatively structured by a team of industry-leading authorities to make Implant Dentistry more predictable and relevant in contemporary dentistry . Hybrid teaching, clinical mentoring and hands-on skill development sessions will take you through the many nuances of dental implantology and enable you to provide expert care to your patients.
An exhaustive 12 months PG Certificate course tailored to fit contemporary advanced dental and surgical requirements.
Course commencement :
The aim of this course is to provide education and training to course participants to enable them to practice implant dentistry as per FGDP guidelines.
At PAD Academy, the course is designed with additional curriculum and special focus on digital workflows that provides dental practitioners with the essential skill set and knowledge required to offer high-quality dental treatment.
The 12 months Post Graduate Certificate in Implant dentistry comprises of Contact learning, distance learning, hands on skill development & practical clinical training and mentoring.
On being awarded the certificate, the credits from this program can be transferred towards the Diploma in Advanced Implant Dentistry. Dip Imp Dent (Advanced)

The Certificate will consist of three components.
A minimum of 12 days face to face meeting over 12 months; each unit will be carried out over three to four days in a designated month. The contact learning sessions will consist of
a) Interactive seminars (face to face) where time tested clinical protocols and scientific methodology will be taught and discussed.
b) Practical sessions are designed to develop skills for a range of surgical procedures commonly employed in implant dentistry will be carried out. Assessment of the practical exercises will be carried out.
c) Practical sessions to digitally design and fabricate surgical guides, abutments and supra structures (for conical fit, cement-retained and screw retained)
Multiple Choice Questions: At the end of each contact training day/webinar delegates will have to answer the MCQs and fill the questionnaire required for enhanced CPD requirements of the GDC.
The Certificate programme provides 150 hrs of V CPD
This will be in the form of evidence from work-based training. It will comprise of
(a) Clinical Observation: Observation of clinical procedures being carried out will form a fundamental part of the work-based training. This will be carried out at accredited training practices, which will be located at a variety of geographical locations.
(b) Clinical case reports, a total of three cases under the peer mentoring system will be carried out by course delegates. Help will be provided to proactively recruit cases, gain approval, and arrange for placement of dental implants. These will be carried out under the guidance of mentors who will approve the treatment plans for the three cases and provide any guidance that is required.
Clinical Cases:
(1 single implant, 1 multiple splinted unit, 1 any other case)
Preferably 1 case should be restored using digital dentistry.
The distance learning component will form the didactic and scientific foundation. It will consist of:
a) Critical reading of literature. Delegates will be provided with a list of publications, which will be read for critical review at the contact learning sessions.
b) Assignments: A total of 2 key topics will be selected for assignments. Delegates will need to research the topics and complete the assignments. These assignments will form a part of the continuous assessment process.
c) Multiple Choice Questions: At the end of each webinar delegates will have to answer the MCQs and fill the questionnaire required for enhanced CPD requirements of the GDC
