Description & objectives:
This course has been designed by a leading Prosthodontist and Periodontist to provide an update and refresher for previously trained specialists on prosthetically driven implant planning, placement and basic bone grafting procedures.
The specific surgical techniques, as well as the physiologic and anatomic principles required for placing implants and basic bone grafts is taught by lectures, hands-on model exercises, and surgical demonstrations. Course size is limited to 12 participants to provide for individualized instruction and discussion.
Participants will receive DVDs of live surgeries and a manual of procedure protocols with supporting scientific literature. Special emphasis is placed on prosthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning as the principle guide for the surgical treatment plan to obtain stable, long-term esthetics and function. Participants are encouraged to bring cases for discussion and questions.
