COURSES

Immediate implant placement with provisionalization is a long established and scientifically proven approach to implant therapy. This course is designed to cover treatment planning and specific protocols to maximize long-term success. The program will place emphasis on initial diagnosis, surgery, and prosthetics that will streamline procedures valuable to the patient.

Formerly known as Implant Dentistry 101.  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.

Formerly known as Implant Dentistry 102. 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.

This two-day program will cover treatment modalities that can be utilized in both single-tooth implants and more complex interdisciplinary cases to achieve great outcomes. Several treatment adjuncts will be discussed in detail to achieve superior results, including hard and soft tissue augmentation, osseodensification, orthodontic bone formation, and partial extraction therapy. This program will also discuss abutment and restoration design to achieve long-term crestal bone stability. At the conclusion of this course, clinicians will feel more confident handling routine and more complex cases in a traditional analog and digital workflow.

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.

This course has been designed to review in detail the prosthetic and surgical science, materials, and techniques for the placement of dental implants after full-mouth extractions. The goal is to deliver step-by-step analog and hybrid (analog/digital) workflows that will empower dentists with the necessary tools to approach full arch rehabilitation with confidence.

In this course, we will highlight the advantages of using a single platform implant and a tissue-level implant for the restoration of full arch cases.

Participants will have the opportunity to place implants in an edentulous jaw and practice a simplified technique for full arch impressions. Focusing on advanced surgical and restorative principles and protocols, this course is aimed at the clinician who wants to take the leap into full arch rehabilitation.

This two-day program will begin with facially diagnosing and treatment planning for tooth position relative to the face to determine incisal edge position, height to width ratio of teeth, and vertical space requirement for prosthetic material to ensure proper implant position for long-term aesthetic and functional success. This will be a comprehensive course on successfully treating edentulous and terminal dentition patients with a variety of fixed and removable options in the digital workflow.

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

Learning Objectives:

• Surgical anatomy

• Incision and flap design

• Tooth extraction essentials

• Sutures & suturing techniques

• Wound healing biology

• Bone graft materials & membranes

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.
