Training manual in dental implantology

Study aid for students and specialists

The authors of the book created the study aid to serve students and trainees interested in oral implantology. Back in 2000, Academician Popov with great efforts managed to win a place for dental implantology as a discipline in the training of students in dentistry (now dentistry) at the faculty in Sofia. As a freely elective discipline, implantology arouses unprecedented interest among students, and about 90% of future V-year dentists attend its lectures and exercises. There are no absences, and the excellent grades in the exam show that the fifth-year students not only have an increased interest in implantology, but also accumulate knowledge and skills. The trend continues in the following years and until now. In 2004, Academician Popov opened training in implantology at the Faculty of Dental Medicine in Plovdiv, and in 2009 he organized its teaching within the framework of the 10th academic semester at the Varna Faculty.
With each new academic year, Academician Popov improves the organization and program of the training, as well as the practical exercises with the students, which take place on a phantom with the active participation of his assistants and associates.
The accumulated experience shows Academician Popov that it is necessary and even imperative to issue a manual - an aid for practical training of students of dental medicine and specialists in dental implantology, which will provide them with the necessary minimum theoretical knowledge and guide them in their practical implementations .
Academician Popov's co-author, Dr. Metodi Abadjiev, is a lecturer at the Varna Faculty, who has obtained the educational and scientific degree of doctor. He is his student in implantology and a doctoral student with a dissertation largely in implantology.
