Much of the postgraduate dental implant training available in Nigeria is organised and run by dental companies that are mostly interested in marketing their products or by individuals trained by the companies. The aim of this independent training programme is to equip the dentist interested in implant dentistry with the knowledge and basic skills they need to place and restore most brands of dental implants to the standard expected of their colleagues in developed countries. It will provide a sound scientific grounding and clinical training in implant dentistry, develop graduates who are confident in incorporating dental implant supported prostheses into general dental practice and also to teach students how to place and restore dental implants from single teeth to full arch cases.
