Volume 31 · Issue 6

The Association of Dental Implantology’s (ADI) Members’ National Forum 2017 was a stimulating event for ADI members, which included lectures on such topics as  ‘design your own dental implant’, in-house printing of surgical guides and full arch reconstruction.   

With 24 lectures in two streams, there were high quality talks throughout the day, with something for everyone in attendance.

Programme highlights included Eimear O’Connell’s presentation about the role of digital dentistry in making the placement of a dental implant more predictable and less stressful, Catherine Drysdale’s talk about the oral rehabilitation of people with congenital and acquired orofacial deformities, and Avik Dandapat’s lecture on guided surgery which described how to plan a case and design a surgical guide.

Two further notable presentations were Ian Lane’s discussion of a retrospective study of full arch immediate loaded dental implant cases in which he highlighted the reasons for the high success rates, and Guy McLellan’s introduction of the Nazalus dental implant for full arch rehabilitation.

The opportunity to learn more continued in the exhibition in which delegates could discover the latest in dental implant innovations.

Speaker Eimear O’Connell added, “Events such as the ADI Members’ National Forum provide a great platform for face-to-face learning.”
