KORAY FERAN

The increasing accuracy and fidelity of intraoral and CBCT scanners, planning software and 3D printers now allow a very predictable and convenient method for accurate and predictable placement of implants in almost any situation.

This presentation covers the experience of the adoption of a special guided implant surgery and placement protocol after more than 25 years of freehand implant placement. The lecture includes the significant advantages of this protocol in private practice in London and asks whether such predictability can now be achieved.

CV

Koray graduated from Guy's Dental Hospital in 1989, receiving the Final Year Award for overall excellence and the S.J. Kaye Oral Medicine and Pathology Award. He remained at Guy's for two separate areas of practice in Prosthodontics and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery until 1991 when he started general practice in North London.

Between 1991 and 1993 he completed a Master's degree in Periodontology at Guy's Hospital and at the end of 1993 he passed the exams for the Restorative Dentistry Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons, UK.

Since then he has been committed to quality in dental treatment and has a special interest in multidisciplinary cases that require detailed planning and coordination of various branches of dentistry. Between 1996 and 1999 he provided surgical services in periodontology and implant dentistry to three prestigious practices in Knightsbridge and South Kensington and from 1998 he established his own practice in London's West End.

In 2005 he established the London Center for Implant and Cosmetic Dentistry (LCIAD Ltd.) on Wimpole Street in the heart of London's dental and medical community. He expanded LCIAD in October 2010 with new and larger facilities to create a strong, multi-disciplinary clinical team with in-depth experience in the management and care of patients with complex dental problems.

Koray is recognized among his colleagues as a trusted and highly competent clinician in the care of patients with multidisciplinary treatment needs and accepts referrals for patients from over 70 colleagues. He is recognized for his successful multidisciplinary approach in dealing with complex cases requiring specialized surgical and restorative branches of dentistry, especially those cases that have failed in previous dental work.

Koray has undertaken and continues to undertake extensive postgraduate training in many countries with world leaders in many areas of dentistry and technology and is also a sought after lecturer in his own right, approved, private practice in the provision of quality dental care including fee setting, consultation and treatment planning, occlusion, dental photography, surgical and restorative implant dentistry including guided surgery, all aspects of restorative dentistry, provision of financial and commercial aspects including bone and tissue augmentation and sinus grafting.
