Tel. : 01 42 93 82 11 - Fax : 01 42 93 82 09 E-mail : doct.guillaume@wanadoo.fr - Internet : www.cfi-implant.asso.fr TeachingI Definition and Legitimacy Association Law 1901 The French College of Implantology is an Association under the Law of 1901 founded in 1994 and registered with the Ministry of Employment as a postgraduate vocational training body under approval no. 11752629975. II Degree Course Programme The yearly degree course takes place in several successive and inter-dependent stages:
Breaks will be envisaged during the courses, during which the manufacturers of materials will have exhibition stands permitting the presentation and the handling of their different products.
1. Basic principles The purpose of the French College of Implantology’s cyclical teaching programme is to define clear basic principles in the development of an implant treatment plan thanks to a clinical approach based on the surgical and prosthetic stages. Every course will benefit from a double-projection slide presentation, or if the need arises, videos or CD-ROMs. Duplicated lecture notes will be given to each student. The first course modules will endeavour to specify the clinical, anatomical and radiographical aspects essential to the formulation of an implant treatment plan. The development of the treatment plan and the initial examinations required will be dealt with first. The implant imagery necessitates the analysis of long cone x-rays, panoramic radiography and scanners by studying various implant scenarios on the x-rays. Simulations of clinical cases will be achieved using different scanner cross-sections. During the courses and practical work on anatomical specimens, the parodontology and occlusion situation will be seen in detail, always within the specific context of the implant. The medico-legal aspects of our specialty becoming increasingly important, an expert conference illustrating actual cases will be held in the presence of magistrates of the Court of Appeal and the Paris Supreme Court of Appeal, lawyers, judicial experts and insurance professionals. 2. Surgical techniques
The parodontology adapted to the act of implantation will be studied at the time of the theoretical courses and sessions involving parodontal dissections on the jaws of pigs.
Any implanting activity implies detailed analysis of the bone structure and the gingival development. The bone formation will be explained through the presentation of biomaterials and bone graft techniques. The surgical approach takes the form of dissection sessions on real heads from corpses, in order to determine the main dissection planes and the initial manoeuvres essential to all implant surgery techniques. This session will enable the participants to firstly see the maxillary and mandibular canals, and then filmed projections.
These sessions will enable students to familiarise themselves with the different facets of this activity (incisions, sutures) with the insertion of the implants on each of the anatomical specimens. Local anesthesia techniques and the risks inherent in every anatomical region will be examined in detail.
During the dissection sessions, students will work in groups of 2 or 3 on the anatomical specimens at their disposal consisting of heads from corpses. All of the implant manufacturers, in partnership with the French College of Implantology, will make motors, contra-angles and implants available so that every student can operate and get to know the different implant systems currently available on the market. The partnership with the pharmaceutical and medical companies will enable students to familiarise themselves with the materials (surgical gowns, gloves, masks). Sterile clothing techniques and the preparation of the operating tray under optimal conditions of asepsis will be illustrated by a video. A session will also be organised in which sterile clothing will be worn and these different sterile products will be handled. Every student should bring a box of parodontology instruments (a list will be provided for these surgical sessions). 3. Prosthetic solutions The third part of the course will be dedicated to the subject of prosthetics and the study of every prosthetic system, both in terms of partial prostheses and those directly attached to implants. The importance of this part of the course on prosthetics means that several half-day sessions will be dedicated to practical work. Many prosthetic systems will be analysed under the auspices of the teachers of the French College of Implantology and the representatives of the partner implant companies (3i France, Friadent, Straumann, Calcitek, Implants Diffusion International, Nobel Biocare, Sud Implant). In addition, several days organised with these implant companies will illustrate the handling of these systems, as well as the presentation of various clinical cases in which impacted systems, which are screwed in on 1 or 2 occasions, will be tackled. The management of failures and the study of budgets will also be part of this section of the course. III Location of the training The Biomedical Training & Research Unit of the Saints-Pères Faculty of Medicine (Anatomy department) will put its dissection rooms and lecture theatres at the disposal of students for all of the Practical Work. UFR Biomédicale des Saints-Pères
Tel. : 01 42 86 22 33 The other courses will take place at: L’espace Georges Bernanos
Tel. : 01 45 26 65 26 A reminder of the timetables and location of each of the course modules will be sent to the students before the beginning of the course. Any change in the location of the course will be indicated in advance. Attendance on the course is obligatory (except in the case of absolute necessity). Meals will be able to be taken in the restaurants in the vicinity and will be at the expense of the participants. IV Materials Every student should bring a box of surgical instruments a list of which will be provided. All of the dissection materials (gloves, masks, surgical gowns, suture thread) will be provided by the French College of Implantology. |
