COURSE OVERVIEW
This program will be a three-day program consisting of two full days of lecture and hands-on and one full day of live surgery. This program will fulfill a doctor’s desire to learn implant dentistry with practical and clinical information and techniques. Emphasis is placed on anatomic considerations, treatment planning and prosthetic techniques.
COURSE OBJECTIVES (DAY 1 & 2 - LECTURE & HANDS-ON)
Goal: to have students feel comfortable with placing an implant into a healed site and into an immediate socket site that has sufficient bone.
- Evaluating patients: anatomy, medical assessment, site volume
- Understanding fundamentals of bone biology, wound healing, biomechanics
- Navigating implant console, motor, surgical kit, prosthetics
- Planning and placing implants in correct location, angulation, depth via freehanded
- Planning an intermediate case and deciding correct size, position
- Learning materials and methods of bone grafting and membranes
- Restoring implants with excellent cosmetic results
- Implementing excellent sterile technique
- Developing good clinical decisions and clear dialogue with patient
WHAT TO EXPECT (DAY 3 - LIVE SURGERY)
- Each participating doctor will be able to complete a single surgery (up to 2 implants per case) under supervision
- Each case will be reviewed in depth pre-operatively
- A team of 2 doctors (surgeon/assistant) will be working on a case, per session with an assigned instructor
- Each participating doctor is responsible for bringing their own patient cases to the program (the doctor may charge and collect an appropriate fee from the patient, independently from the program).
- Participants will be provided with necessary surgical equipment, instruments, implant placing kit and up to two (2) dental implants per case excluding bone regeneration graft materials.

This course was purposely created to offer clinicians with greater confidence and more exposure before diving into live surgery procedures for implant dentistry.
