AB  - PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rates for surgical 
      placement of dental implants in the Implant Dentistry Study Consortium (IDSC), a 
      training program for general dentists in the UAE. MATERIALS: The records of the 
      program were reviewed, and all implants placed were evaluated, and the survival 
      and failures were identified. These records were compared with those from an 
      experienced prosthodontist who has been trained in both the surgical and 
      restorative phases of implant dentistry. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier 
      survival curves were calculated. The Kaplan-Meier statistics were compared using 
      the log-rank test. RESULTS: The characteristics of the population of the IDSC and 
      the prosthodontist were similar. During the study interval, the prosthodontist 
      had 299 implants in 145 subjects and IDSC with 217 implants in 104 subjects 
      placed. The survival rates were 96% for the experienced prosthodontist and 93.5% 
      for IDSC dentists. The Kaplan-Meier curves were not statistically different from 
      each other, P > 0.05. CONCLUSION: A closely supervised training program in dental 
      implantology of 4 sessions, 3 day each, can provide successful surgical 
      experiences for the program participants.
