Implant Dentistry-A Call for Advanced Education

Knowledge is based on where a person received their implant education, and experience is based upon one's practice life and whether that life involved a residency, fellowship program, comprehensive continuing education program, and/or private practice setting. The profession needs multiple university master's degree programs and hospital-based comprehensive dental implant training programs to assure that these skills are not limited to a few. Doctors completing these advanced dental implant education programs would have the responsibility of sharing their knowledge with others in the field and assist them to make evidence-based decisions when treating patients.
