Gain the knowledge and confidence to diagnose, treatment plan, and execute predictable implant restorations. This comprehensive hands-on course will guide you through the fundamentals of implant dentistry, with a strong focus on clinical decision-making and practical application.
We’ll begin with a review of essential head and neck anatomy, followed by an in-depth discussion on the use of both traditional radiography and CBCT imaging to support accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Clinical pharmacology will be covered to ensure effective perioperative and postoperative management.
The course emphasizes single-tooth implant cases, using a clear, step-by-step approach. Participants will engage in a hands-on suturing lab and will place implants on anatomical models, gaining familiarity with the surgical and restorative process. By the end of the course, you will be better equipped to confidently plan and manage implant cases in your own practice.
The course will include a 1.5-hour lunch break (lunch on your own.
