Abstract
The role of the dental nurse is fundamental in the provision of implant treatment, both from a surgical and restorative aspect. While the restoration of an implant can be largely based on the foundation knowledge of restorative dentistry, the surgical stages require a unique skillset. This article aims to highlight the benefits of undertaking further training for the dental nurse in providing surgical support, the skillset needed, and the pathways for achieving career progression.
