Session 1 (Summary Below)
Session 2, Session 3, Session 4
Session 5, Prepay 15-Day

Patient Evaluation & Treatment Planning
Surgical Session 1’s major objective is treatment planning for the partially edentulous patient. Prosthetic options, patient force factors, bone density, implant positions, implant number of abutments, ideal implant size in each tooth location, and bone volume related treatment options are presented in detail. The surgical procedure and prosthesis type presented in the first session is the replacement of a single posterior missing tooth. You can take as a series or individual classes. Register today!

CT and radiographic interpretation workshops and hands-on suturing techniques and implant insertion in treatment models are also provided.

• One Stage vs Two Stage
• Orthodontic Extrusion
• Derma Fillers
• Laboratories - Workshops
  

Course Objectives

• Discuss the guidelines for esthetics relative to the hard and soft tissues of the mouth.
• Review the anatomy and biologic principles of soft tissue healing and suturing.
• Describe and compare crown lengthening on natural teeth and implants for esthetics.
• Observe crown lengthening procedures on patients in conjunction with implant insertion or uncovery.
• Present step by step procedures required for root coverage of natural teeth.
• Compare the techniques of keratinized tissue grafts, connective tissue grafts and freeze dried acellular dermis grafts used for root coverage.

• Apply biologic factors such as growth factors to the bone graft process.
• Appreciate the need for a "layered" approach for growth factors involved in large volume bone grafts.
• Perform methods to increase platelet rich plasma (PRP) and learn the advantages for soft tissue as well as hard tissue on bone grafting.
• Recognize the advantages for block vs. particulate bone grafts for large defects.
• Describe the step-by-step procedure for harvesting a ramus and/or body of the mandible for block bone grafts.
• Understand the impact of defect size and shapes on the bone graft techniques to be selected.
• Establish the skills and techniques for block fixation necessary for predictable bone grafting.
• Describe the step-by-step procedure for harvesting a symphysis mono cortical block for bone grafting.
• Understand the complications - during surgery, immediate post-operative and long term for the harvest site of the ramus and/or symphysis.
  

Prosthetic Program

Session 1 (Summary Below), Session 2 & 3
Prosthetic Course I will discuss the rationale for implants and complete and partial edentulism as a national health problem. Clinicians will learn how to build treatment plans based on patient evaluation, bone density, prosthetic options and economics. They will learn to utilize the latest technology in computerized tomography and recognize the stress factors as they relate to biomechanics and treatment planning. Clinicians will be taught treatment plan modifications and options as they relate to implant success and failure. Hands-on laboratory workshops will demonstrate and let clinicians practice applications in a controlled learning environment.

Course Topics

• Rationale for Implants
• Prosthetic Options
• Bone Volume - Available Bone
• Posterior Single Tooth Implant
