Dr Aqeel Sajjad Reshamvala will come to Perth from Mumbai in May to present a 3-day workshop on digital implant dentistry.
Dr Aqeel Sajjad Reshamvala is specialist prosthodontist and implantologist based in Mumbai. He says dentistry came into his life by chance, without a clear understanding of what lay ahead. “However, as I delved into the early years of my specialisation, I discovered a deep fascination with the artistry of the field, particularly through wax carving and the modelling of dental materials that demanded precision and skill,” he recalls. “What began as a coincidence soon transformed into a genuine passion, and today, I find myself completely captivated by the world of dentistry.”
“Two things really drew me to Prosthodontics,” he adds. “Firstly, it’s the one field where you can recreate lost tooth structure and blend it harmoniously with the natural features of the patient, it’s like bringing a smile back to life. Secondly, it’s the only branch that truly focuses on occlusion, a topic that’s often ignored but makes all the difference in achieving the desired final result.”
Aqeel will be presenting a comprehensive introduction to digital implant dentistry with Dr Nishant Vaishnav in May. By the end of the course, attendees should be able to:
- Describe the digital workflow for implant dentistry, including data acquisition (intra oral scanning and CBCT), digital treatment planning,
and guided surgery. - Compare different scanner types and apply appropriate scanning protocols for single tooth and full arch cases.
- Use implant planning software to position implants in healed ridges and extraction sockets, taking into account anatomical landmarks and prosthetic requirements.
- Design and fabricate surgical guides (sleeved and sleeveless) for single and multiple implants, and understand the instrumentation required for guided surgery.
- Evaluate indications for flap versus flapless surgery and apply correct three dimensional implant positioning to achieve optimal prosthetic outcomes.
- Distinguish between screw retained and cement retained prostheses, select appropriate abutments, and fabricate immediate provisional restorations.
- Plan full arch implant rehabilitation, including determining implant number, distribution, and the need for grafting; compare implant level versus abutment level prosthesis fabrication.
- Perform immediate provisionalisation for single tooth replacement cases using suitable techniques and materials.
“As we all know that Digital Dentistry is the future and Implant Dentistry is now the norm,” Aqeel says. “The combination of both these topics leads us to develop this course. How to get predictable and precise treatment plans for Implant dentistry and its respective restoration will be covered in this course.”
Aqeel says the course is designed for both experienced dentists already practicing implant dentistry and beginners looking to build a strong foundation in the field.
“This course will help you not only plan your implant placements precisely but also be able to provide the final prosthesis perfectly,” he says. “Since the entire workflow is digital, human errors are corrected by the software making both the surgical and prosthetic clinical workflows seamless.
“I have put in all the hard work of educating myself to achieve that excellence in my field and now with this course I want to share all this with my fellow colleagues so that they benefit from it too,” he adds. “This particular course deals with the Digital approach to Implant Dentistry using all the knowledge that we have acquired from the Analogue era. The course will help them with a step-by-step protocol to approach either a single tooth implant case or a complicated full mouth implant rehabilitation in a methodical way which ensures their predictable final outcome. More success – less failures.”
Dr Aqeel Sajjad Reshamvala and Dr Nishant Vaishnav will be presenting Advanced Digital Implant Reconstruction: From Single Tooth to Full Arch on May 22-24 at ADA House. To book your seat, visit cpd.adawa.com.au
