IN-PERSON EVENT, hosted by Ribble Section

What to expect

Join the Ribble Section for an evening of two exciting lectures.

The first lecture will see Sunkanmi Oladeji Olaore give an overview of patient assessment for anxious patients requiring oral surgery procedures with conscious sedation techniques. Guidelines and suggestions for best practice will be given and we will emphasise some of the key aspects of patient assessment and how potential complications can be avoided.

The second lecture will focus on digital thinking. From data capturing, restorative and implant planning, guided surgery, digital impression to designing and manufacturing the final restorative solution, Simon Fieldhouse will take you through the digital workflow.
