Today, dental implants are a pre-dictable, successful modality forpatient care.1–3 They have revolu-

tionized the treatment planning processfor restorative care and eliminated theneed to retain hopeless teeth. Long-termsuccess rates of dental implants havebeen reported as high as 97% for single-tooth replacements and 94% forimplant-supported fixed partial den-tures.4–6 Up to this time, the surgicalspecialties of periodontics and oral andmaxillofacial surgery have provided themajority of surgical placement of im-plants.7 They have also provided theleadership for the restorative phase aswell. However, it is being recognizedthat the need for surgical and prosthetictreatment significantly exceeds the poolof specialists available for patient care.At the same time, many general practi-tioners are interested in incorporatingdental implant services in their prac-tices, but their training in dental schoolwith regard to implantology may havebeen deficient. Henry predicted that inthe near future general dentists will havea significant role in implant surgicalplacement and restoration for the patientrequiring 1 to 3 implants.8

There are a number of long-termtraining programs available, but manypractitioners are reluctant to take suchtime out of their practices. Economicconstraints exist as well. Several institu-tions have developed short-term implanttraining programs that intensely trainclinicians in elementary surgical place-ment and restoration of dental implants,allowing the course participant to doactual clinical treatment—surgical andrestorative.

(IDSC) training program with those of aprosthodontist with extensive trainingand experience in dental implantologyand to briefly describe the program.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS

The subjects included 2 groups. Thefirst was the 217 implants placed in theIDSC training programs in the UAE in104 consecutively treated patients fromDecember 2001 to August 2007.

In parallel, there were 299 im-plants placed in the practice of theexperienced prosthodontist in 145consecutively treated patients. A dataentry form was designed, which in-cluded age, gender, medical history,implant features (type, dimensions,and location), dates of placement, ex-posure, loading of implant, and type ofaugmentation process. The criteria forimplant survival were based on theevidence of osseointegration andincluded lack of pain, mobility, peri-implant radiolucency, infections, par-esthesia, or uncontrolled soft tissueinfection.13,14 None of the patients hadspecific medical contraindications totreatment. An implant was regarded asfailure if it had to be removed for anyreason within 6 months. Any mobilityor sensation (e.g. pain) was regardedas a sign of loss of osseointegration,and implant removal was indicated.Other conditions for which implant re-moval could be indicated included in-curable soft tissue infection, persistentpain, and paresthesia. Implants thatdid not fail were included in the sur-vival group. Single-tooth replacement,fixed partial dentures, overdentures,and mandibular fixed cantilever pros-theses were all included in this study.Many patients had been treated in bothjaws. An individual assessment ofeach implant site was made.

The data were collected from De-cember 2001 through the August 2007with all treated cases reexamined atleast 2 months postoperatively and ev-ery 6 months until the August 2007.Data analysis included descriptive sta-tistics and Kaplan-Meier estimates ofimplant survival. The Kaplan-Meierestimates were compared using thelog-rank test at the 95% significancelevel.

RESULTSThe IDSC Group

A total of 217 implants wereplaced in 104 patients between De-cember 2001 and August 2007. Thefrequency of dental implant placementwas highest in the age group 30 to 49years old (29%–30%) followed by theage group 50 to 59 years old (17%)and below 30 years old (17%). Theage range was 20 to 71 years old, andthe mean age was 45 years old (Table1, IDSC). There were nearly equal

numbers of female and male patients(48% vs 52%). Most patients (75%)were treated with 1 to 2 implants, 25%received 3 or more implants, and 1patient received a total of 12 implants.Thirteen implants (8 implants in max-illa and 5 implants in mandible) failed,resulting in an overall implant survivalof 93.5%. The 117 implants placed inthe maxilla experienced a failure rateof 6.8%, and the 100 implants in themandible experienced a 5% failurerate. In decreasing order of frequency,

implants were placed in the maxillaryposterior, mandibular posterior, maxil-lary anterior, and mandibular anteriorregions (Table 2, IDSC). Approximately71% of the implants were placed in pos-terior regions. Sex, age, implant lengthdid not contribute significantly toimplant failure (Table 3, IDSC). Consid-ering implant features, the most com-monly used implant was BioLokfollowed by the Biohorizons implant,with diameter of 3.5 and 4 mm by 11.5to 13 mm, followed by the 5-mm diam-eter. The 4- and 5-mm by 10- to11.5-mm diameter implants had morefailure than the others (Table 4, IDSC).Ridge augmentation was required in 107implant sites (49%), and in most cases,the bone was from an autogenoussource. The success rate of implantsplaced into augmented sites (93%) andthe implants placed into bone that didnot require augmentation (95%) werenot significantly different.

The Experienced Prosthodontist Group

A total of 299 implants wereplaced in 145 patients between De-cember 2001 and August 2007. Thefrequency of dental implant supportedprosthesis was highest in the agegroup 40 to 49 years old (25%) fol-lowed by the age group 30 to 39 yearsold (23%) and 50 to 59 years old

(22%). The age range was 17 to 71years old, and the mean age was 43.3years old (Table 1, prosthodontist).There were 80 female (54%) and 65male (46%) patients. Most patients(77%) were treated with 1 to 2 im-plants, (23%) received 3 or more im-plants, and 1 patient received a total of8 implants. Eleven implants (3 im-plants in maxilla and 8 implants inmandible) failed, resulting in an over-all survival of 96%. One hundredfifty-four implants were placed in themaxilla experienced a failure rate of1.9% and 145 implants in the mandi-ble had a failure rate of 6%. The fre-quency of location in decreasing orderwas mandibular posterior, maxillaryposterior, maxillary anterior, and man-dibular anterior (Table 2, prosthodon-tist). The majority of treated arches(75%) involved posterior regions. Sex,age, and implant length did not con-tribute significantly to implant failure(Table 3, prosthodontist). Consideringimplant features, the most commonlyused implant was BioLok followed bythe Biohorizons implant, with diame-ters of 3.75 and 4 mm by 11.5 to 12mm, followed by the 3.5 and 5 mmdiameters. The 4 by 11.5 to 12 mmand 5 mm diameter implants had morefailure than the others (Table 4,prosthodontist). Ridge augmentation

was required in 144 implant sites, andthe majority used autogenous source.The success rate of implants placed

into augmented sites (98%) and non-augmentation sites (96%) was similar.A total of 48% of all implants requiredbone grafts. A comparison of theKaplan-Meier curves using the log-rank test showed no significant differ-ence between both groups,P � 0.05(Fig. 1).

DISCUSSION

The results of this study supportthe hypothesis of the IDSC programthat the survival rates of implantplacement in this program by the nov-ice implantologist are comparablewith that of an experienced implan-tologist. These objective observationsparallel the subjective evaluations ofthe program by participants. Here,�80% rated the experiences of theprogram very good or excellent. Theremainder found them acceptable.

The ideal education in implant den-tistry provides supervised hands-on clin-ical training on live patients as well asdidactic instruction by recognized teach-ers in implant dentistry. Although thisprogram is of short duration, it is a thor-ough program with increasing levels ofexperience. General dentists in privatepractice who are unable to return to full-time postgraduate study can enhancetheir backgrounds in implant dentistryby this short training program. The mainadvantage of these programs is the per-sonal exposure to the expert who spon-sors the program as well as the informal,small-group learning environment.

Although this program is of shortduration, it is a thorough program withincreasing levels of experience. Theprogram has four 3-day modules start-ing with individual single surgicalplacements in the maxillary premolar

and mandibular anterior regions and iscompleted with internal sinus lifts andparticulate grafting procedures in con-junction with implant placement in theposterior area of the maxilla. Thesemodules are distributed over a 1-yearperiod. It is expected that betweenmodules, the participants will continueto place more implants to the levelcompleted.

The characteristics of the patientpopulations of the novice training pro-gram (IDSC) and that of the privateprosthodontist were similar. Althoughthe background experience of the novicestudents may not be important, the qual-ity of instruction and the treatment pro-tocols are significant. The instructionincludes 3 to 4 lectures per module, de-tailed treatment planning, and closesupervision by the faculty. The partici-pants are organized in teams with rota-tions as surgeons, assistants, recorders,and photographers. The participantpractitioners are required to documenteach case with a treatment plan, detailsof treatment, and photographs.

We believe that the key to thesuccess of this program is the fact thatit is strictly supervised and specificprotocols have been developed for theprogram that each participant mustfollow in the program. These includethe following.

A Treatment Plan Is Developed forEach Case

Each case is presented to thegroup before beginning the implantprocedure, either surgical or restor-ative. As part of the treatment plan-ning process, a thorough evaluationthat includes clinical examination,periapical radiographs, a digital cali-brated panoramic radiograph and to-mograms if necessary is performed.This provides the required informationto check the positions of vital anatom-ical structures including the maxillarysinus and the mandibular canal. Thor-ough medical and dental histories areobtained. Study models are made withjaw records if needed. The treatmentplans are developed by the participantsurgeons in consultation with the fac-ulty and presented for discussion andreview.

The Surgical Phase Is Carefully Outlined

Diagnostic and surgical templatesare fabricated. The treatment plan isthoroughly discussed with the patientand all questions answered. The pa-tient receives thorough preoperativeinstructions and prophylactic medica-tions if necessary. On the day of sur-gery, a consent is signed and thepatient changes into a clean gown(scrub suit) and brushes his/her teethwith a 0.12% chlorhexidine gel for 4minutes after taking paracetamol (500mg) and ibuprofen (600 mg). A rigor-ous operating room environment ismaintained. Soft tissue procedures aredone atraumatically, and the osteot-omy is made with copious cold irriga-tion. Radiographs are obtained duringthe procedure to ensure correct posi-tioning and alignment of the fixture.The implant is inserted in an isolatedfield, and a postoperative radiographis taken to confirm the implant posi-tion. Postoperative instructions aregiven to the patient in writing andreviewed verbally. A prescription isgiven to the patient for pain, inflam-mation, and antibiotic if necessary. Anicepack is provided to the patient toreduce the swelling. The doctor isavailable for consultation if necessary.

The Restorative Phase Follows a 2-StageProtocol (2–5 Months After Placement)

The implants are uncovered and af-ter soft tissue healing, a final impressionis made. Jaw records are obtained andthe case sent to the laboratory for fabri-cation of the prosthesis. After try-in andporcelain application, the final prosthe-sis is inserted. The soft tissues in theanterior region are developed using tem-porary restorations.

Maintenance and Recall Are Providedin the Prosthodontist’s Office on aRegular Basis

Recall includes clinical and radio-graphic examinations and prophylaxis.A standardized radiograph is taken toevaluate crestal bone height. Ascratchless professional cleaning isdone using prophy cups and pumicearound the implant–abutment neck,followed by an application of 0.8%hyaluronic acid and 0.2% chlorhexi-dine, subgingivally.

Reports by Yoonet al,9 Kohaviet al,10 and Meloet al11 parallel thosereported here with similar experi-ences. It would thus seem that pro-grams for the novice can be successfulin a variety of venues. Development offurther programs of this type would behelpful to provide implant training forthe general dentist who is not able toexcuse him or herself from their prac-tices for a long period of time. Thedevelopment of the IDSC program inthe UAE has been welcomed to im-prove the level of dental care for pa-tients as well as the knowledge baseand skills of the clinicians providingoral care and treatment for the residentpopulation.

CONCLUSION

A short-term training program indental implantology can provide suc-cessful surgical experiences for theprogram participants. The success ofparticipating dentists is based on theirabilities to model the strategies oftraining program and apply them insimilar cases. When treatment com-plexity exceeds a dentist’s level oftraining and expertise, appropriate re-ferral to an experienced implant sur-geon and prosthodontist should bemade.

ABSTRACTO: Propo´sito: El objetivo de este estudio fueevaluar las tasas de supervivencia de la colocacio´n quirurgicade implantes dentales en el Consorcio de Estudio de Odon-tología de Implantes (IDSC), un programa de capacitacio´npara dentistas en la UAE.Materiales y Metodos: Se evalu-aron los registros del programa y todos los implantes colocadosy se identificola supervivencia y las fallas. Estos registros secompararon con los de un prostodoncista experimentado queha recibido capacitacio´n en las fases restaurativas y quiru´r-gicas de la odontología de implantes. Se calcularon estadís-ticas descriptivas y curvas de supervivencia de Kaplan-Meier.Las estadísticas de Kaplan-Meier se compararon usando laprueba del rango logarítmico.Resultados:Las característicasde la poblacio´n del IDSC y el prostodoncista fueron simi-lares. Durante el intervalo del estudio, el prostodoncistacoloco 299 implantes en 145 sujetos y el IDSC con 217implantes en 104 pacientes. Las tasas de supervivencia fuerondel 96% para el prostodoncista experimentado y un 93.5%para los dentistas del IDSC. Las curvas de Kaplan-Meier nofueron estadísticamente diferentes entre ellas,P � 0.05.Conclusion: Un programa de capacitacio´n estrictamente su-pervisado en implantología dental de cuatro sesiones, 3 cadadía, puede proporcionar experiencias quiru´rgicas exitosas alos participantes en el programa.

RESUMO: Objetivo:O objetivo deste estudo era avaliar astaxas de sobreviveˆncia para colocac¸ao cirurgica de implantes

dentarios no Conso´rcio de Estudo de Odontologia de Im-plante (Implant Dentistry Study Consortium - IDSC), umprograma de treinamento para dentistas gerais nos EmiradosArabes Unidos.Materiais e Metodos: Os registros do pro-grama foram revisados e todos os implantes foram avaliadose a sobreviveˆncia e falhas foram identificadas. Esses registrosforam comparados com aqueles de um protodontista experi-ente que foi treinado tanto na fase ciru´rgica quanto na res-taurativa da odontologia de implante. A estatística descritivae as curvas de sobreviveˆncia de Kaplan-Meier foram calcu-ladas. A estatística de Kaplan-Meier foi comparada usando oteste log-rank.Resultados:As características da populac¸aodo IDSC e do protodontista eram semelhantes. Durante ointervalo do estudo, o protodontista colocou 299 implantesem 145 indivíduos e o IDSC, 217 implantes em 104 indi-víduos. As taxas de sobreviveˆncia foram 96% para o prot-odontista experiente e 93.5% para os dentistas do IDSC. Ascurvas de Kaplan-Meier na˜o foram estatisticamente dife-rentes uma da outra,P � 0.05.Conclusao: Um programa detreinamento estreitamente supervisionado em implantologiadentaria de quatro sesso˜es, 3 por dia, pode proporcionarexperiencias cirurgicas bem-sucedidas para os participantesdo programa.
