Day Three of a three day course designed to take general practitioners to a point where they are able confidently to place and restore simple implants using the Bicon Implant system. The placement and restoration of simple dental implants should be in the remit of the General Practitioner. However, like all dental treatments, we must understand when, where and how to use them and when not to. The course will focus on treatment planning as well as the operational side of treatment. The Bicon Implant is an elegantly simple device such that it allows the practitioner to place and restore with ease and safety. The fact there are no screws removes many of the surgical and restorative complexities and massively reduces the well known complications such as screw loosening and abutment fracture.

The Bicon System is simple and effective. The system has stood then test of time for 40 years. The implants are moderately priced and offer a cost-effective option with its short design and locking taper, friction fit connection.
