Training in implant dentistry is provided at a number of levels. At its simplest, clinicians learn from each other as they progress along the learning curve. This is the process by which most of today’s acknowledged “experts” learned these skills in the period during which implant treatments were evolving.

With implant dentistry now an established discipline, learning from shared experience is valuable for clinicians who have a sound understanding of implant treatments. Here, the consciously and unconsciously competent clinicians can benchmark their understanding against that of others.

However, this approach is unlikely to be effective if the individuals (eg, those in the unconsciously incompetent group) sharing their experiences do not fully understand the significance of what these experiences represent. This model is often popular today with younger practitioners who learn from colleagues via online forums, but this represents a real risk of being “the blind leading the blind.”
