We are delighted to welcome Dipesh Kothari to the ITI Belfast Study Club on THURSDAY 25th June for an evening focused on Immediate Implantology.

The concept of immediacy in implant dentistry has evolved significantly in recent years, supported by a growing evidence base and advances in digital workflows.

Immediate implant placement and loading can offer substantial benefits for both patients and clinicians when applied in appropriate clinical situations. Reduced treatment times, improved patient experience and increased clinical efficiency have all contributed to a significant shift in contemporary implant practice.

During this lecture, Dipesh will discuss the current evidence surrounding immediate implant placement and loading, alongside practical considerations for predictable implementation in everyday clinical practice.

Following this presentation, attendees will:

• Gain an overview of the current evidence supporting immediate implant placement and loading

• Understand the clinical criteria and case selection required for predictable and successful outcomes

• Review a practical protocol for immediate implant placement and loading in everyday clinical practice

Dipesh Kothari is an ITI Fellow whose practice is limited to implant dentistry, with a particular interest in the aesthetic replacement of single units, which forms the majority of his clinical workload.

He lectures on a variety of implant courses and has travelled nationally and internationally to further develop his knowledge and clinical skills in implant dentistry.
