COURSES

This comprehensive two-day course explores two approaches to dental implant surgery: free-handed placement and guided implant surgery utilizing CBCT imaging and 3D printed surgical guides. Through a combination of lectures, hands-on exercises/demos and clinical case studies, participants will gain a deep understanding of the advantages, limitations, and clinical applications of both techniques. At the completion of this program, clinicians will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions regarding which approach best suits the clinical scenario. 

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.

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.
