As dental implants become increasingly mainstream in general practice, understanding their biomechanical principles is vital for long-term success. This webinar explores the key differences between natural teeth and implants, the implications for occlusal load management, and how restorative design choices influence biomechanical outcomes.
Objectives:
Comprehend the distinctions in (biomechanical) performance between natural teeth and implants.
Plan occlusion to minimise restorative or integration failure.
Identify long-term occlusal changes and their implications.
Outcomes:
You will gain an understanding of how to proficiently assess an implant restoration in relation to the current occlusal scheme and monitor the changes in dentition in relation to the occlusal forces exerted on the implant restoration over the long term.
Speakers:
Amin Aminian FCGDent, specialist in prosthodontics.
Shushil Dattani AssocFCGDent, implant surgeon and CGDent Recognised Mentor in Implant Dentistry
Anoup Nandra FCGDent, member of the College Council, principal dentist of a private practice, implant surgeon

The Summer Reception was preceded in the same venue by the Inaugural College of General Dentistry Lecture, ‘Satisficing’ standards in dentistry: Who decides? Who benefits?.

Associate Fellowship of the College recognises enhanced knowledge and skills, and demonstrates commitment to lifelong learning and the highest levels of patient care. Associate Fellows are senior members of the College who are advancing their journey towards Fellowship. Recognised as Enhanced Practitioners on the College’s Career Pathway, their professional standing is marked with the use of the postnominals ‘AssocFCGDent’.
Fellowship is the most senior membership of the College; a mark of distinction across clinical and professional domains, and of significant commitment to the art and science of dentistry through professional development, reflective practice and diligence in upholding the highest standards of clinical care.

The Inaugural College of General Dentistry Lecture was delivered by Martin Kelleher FCGDent.
‘Satisficing’ standards in dentistry: Who decides? Who benefits? challenged the notion of the ‘ideal treatment plan’ and contended that subconscious bias and possible self-interests can lead some supposed experts to confuse their version of a questionable ‘gold standard’ with what is really in a patient’s overall best interests and with what the law expects.
Intended to stimulate and provoke healthy debate, the lecture built on the rich legacy of the Malcolm Pendlebury Lectures hosted by the College’s predecessor organisation, the Faculty of General Dental Practice UK (FGDP).
Martin Kelleher has been a Consultant in Restorative Dentistry at King’s College Hospital, London since 1984 and has well- known interests in solving seemingly complex dental problems with various minimally destructive approaches. He is on the GDC specialist lists for Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics and owned his own practice in Bromley, Kent for nearly 40 years.
He is a Fellow of the Faculties of Dental Surgery at the Royal Colleges of Surgeons of Edinburgh and England, as well as the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. He is also a Fellow of the College of General Dentistry, a Fellow and former President of the British Society for Restorative Dentistry, and a former Chairman of the Southern Counties Branch of the British Dental Association.
Mr Kelleher graduated from University College Dublin in 1971, holds a Master’s degree in Conservative Dentistry and is the author or co-author of very numerous peer-reviewed articles on a wide variety of topics, as well as chapters in dental textbooks and a book on dental bleaching.
