Where restorations are involved, good communication between dentists and technicians is the key to successful outcomes and happy patients. The consequences of poor communication can be reflected in several ways depending on where the breakdown occurs. The cost associated with these breakdowns can have financial and professional ramifications. Everyone involved can share in the joy of the process and be energized by the possibilities or live through the frustration and question their purpose. This course will explore the steps in bridging the gap between the patient, dentist, and technician. To critically breakdown the treatment planning process and clinical steps and to hone in and focus as a united front to deliver beautiful results. This course will have a heavy focus on implant dentistry, starting with single posterior and anterior restorations and building in complexity to implant-supported bridges and full arch implant-supported removable and fixed restorations.

Learn the Hybridge protocol for treating patients with complex dental issues who desire a fixed full arch prosthesis and take your productivity to a whole new level.

Developing the ideal implant site often requires bone grafting procedures. Implant surgeons today must be proficient in socket grafting as well as ridge augmentation techniques. Gain the knowledge and confidence you need to incorporate these procedures into your daily practice with predictable results. This two-day course combines lecture and hands-on lab allowing you to quickly master these procedures and integrate them into your practice.

This course is designed for the General Dentist who is interested in learning more about basic surgical principles and protocols to initiate the process of placing implants. The goal is to empower dentists with the knowledge and confidence necessary to start a simple dental implant practice. After this course, participants should be able to develop their own protocol for the assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical placement, and prosthetic restoration of single-tooth posterior implants. This immersive course includes both lecture and hands-on typodont training.

OPEN STATE - ALL Doctors are welcome. This course is intended for dentists who want to integrate both the surgical and restorative phases of dental implants into their daily practice. The course will focus on patient selection, treatment planning, critical anatomical structures, and surgical placement. Restorative options with ID implant systems are presented and discussed as well. Each attendee will place one implant in the posterior. Attendee must submit copy of license and proof of insurance.

From bone grafting to prepare the socket for the perfect implant to CBCT scanning and computer planning for completely guided implant placement, this course will describe the very solutions that make implant placement challenging and gratifying. A full hands-on component for socket grafting, as well as completely guided implant placement, will build confidence for those who would like to do larger or complex cases, as well as for those who have never placed but want to get started with implants. 

Navigating your career in today’s dental climate is challenging. Many dentists quickly realize our profession and their life is very different from what they expected. Instead of a rewarding career helping others and honing our clinical skills, we find ourselves just trying to survive. Drowning in debt, afraid of making poor practice ownership decisions, we have few options and little control. We ask around and start to understand that the mature dentists in our community have few answers, many have become discouraged, their future uncertain and time limited. This course is a blueprint for the courageous. Those who want to take themselves and their team and create the practice of their dreams. This course is for practice owners, future practice owners, spouses, and all dental team members.

In this fun, high-tech, two-day course, doctors and team members will learn how to make Implantology efficient and predictable. Day one will focus on single and multiple guided implants including designing and printing your own guides. Day two will focus on all aspects of 3D printing in dentistry, including digital dentures, printed implant analog models and printed hybrids. Doctors will need to bring a PC laptop in order to download free software and cases provided before the course.

The clinical success of an implant restoration is dependent on the soft tissue that frames it and on the bone volume surrounding it. As such soft tissue grafting and sinus grafting are essential skills for the advanced implant surgeon to master. This two day course will focus on soft tissue grafting and sinus grafting procedures. Attendee will learn these procedures in a step by step fashion through didactic lectures and hands-on with a pig specimen.

Learn the Hybridge protocol for treating patients with complex dental issues who desire a fixed full arch prosthesis and take your productivity to a whole new level.

The direction that implantology is taking is to plan implants from a “crown down” or “prosthetically driven” perspective. Taking an open tray or a closed tray impression can be easily taught and understood, but the implant placement in a tridimensional position is key towards our long-lasting success in implantology. Soft tissue management in relation to the restorative material of choice subgingival and supragingival is another variable that plays an important role in our esthetic restorative plan. This course will take you from a clinical acceptance status to EXCELLENCE in your daily implantology.

This course has been designed to review in detail the surgical knowledge and techniques for the placement of dental implants after full-mouth extractions. The goal is to deliver a step-by-step workflow that will empower dentists with the necessary tools to approach full arch rehabilitation with confidence. Focusing on advanced surgical and restorative principles and protocols, the course is aimed to the clinician who wants to take the leap into full arch rehabilitation.

Day 1 is Live Surgical Placement Observation, covering treatment planning and basic implant surgery. This series covers the basics of implant placement, case selection, and demonstration of the Implant Direct system. Day 2 is didactic, covering implant patient selection, site preparation with socket grafting, suturing techniques and hands.

All dentists, from experienced to first time implantologists, can benefit from this course. The continuum can be taken as a whole or in part, depending on your preference and skill level. The object of this three part series is to help the practitioner to incorporate the use of dental implants into their practice and have the confidence to place implants in all situations. For the novice, we start with bone grafting in preparation of the socket area for implant placement. Then basic implant placement and restoration advancing through to sedation for overall treatment. For the more experienced practitioners, modules relating to surgical guides, implant placement after CBCT scanning, and planning will be beneficial.

Take the next step in your implant education as this two-day course guides you through the fundamentals of implant dentistry. Participants will learn how to place implants in the esthetic zone, immediate vs. delayed placement, and immediate vs. delayed temporization to develop ideal soft tissue profile. This course provides both technical and practical information for surgical and restorative aspects that can be implemented into your practice.

Implant therapy is one of the most successful treatment modalities in dentistry. This success is however not without potential complications. Implant complications can be minor and easy to correct while others can be major and lead to the loss of the implant. This course will review implant complications and discuss their etiology, prevention and treatment. This course will also review autologous growth factors (PRP, PRGF, PRF). Autologous growth factors are fast becoming routine adjuncts to surgical therapy. The benefits of autologous growth factors include accelerated wound healing, decreased morbidity and enhanced results. The course will feature didactic lecture and hands-on exercises for both autologous growth factors and treating implant complications.
