Basic Implantology

Why Implantology?

A  lot of things have changed in dentistry and teeth replacement is no exception. The worst Tooth-related nightmare for any individual is about losing a tooth. Every patient make a request to save the tooth at any cost. Unfortunately there are certain situations, where the dentist is helpless and opts to remove the tooth or teeth, but the good news is that we can give a better tooth replacement through dental implants.

The Curriculum in dental fraternity has changed towards more positive skill development for the dental healthcare providers. One such example is the Implantology. An extensive theoretical knowledge on implants is incorporated for the undergraduates and postgraduates. Taking up implantology practice offers a diversion from the routine and feels like a speciality practice. Hence, learning basic implantology satisfies the desire for upgrading the dental art as well as re-organizes the career style.
