Competency confidence, and capability; Knowing your limitations in implant dentistry

BDJ In Practice volume 36, pages 29–30 (2023)Cite this article

This article looks at another clinical topic that further develops the ideas discussed by Kevin Lewis in an earlier article of BDJ in Practice.1 It is aimed at the individual clinician rather than the dental team because the clinician has ultimate responsibility for the treatment being provided and so must concentrate on the decisions made prior to, during and after embarking on a course of implant treatment.

  • Knowing the main standards and guidance documents

  • Role of training and mentors

  • Separating straightforward and complex cases
