COURSE INTENT
|
This course is designed to give clinicians the confidence to
perform soft tissue grafts, appropriate flap design for full and partial
thickness flaps, suturing and advanced bone grafting procedures
upon returning to their offices.
Our structure is a combination of
in-depth lecture, over the shoulder
demonstration and a hands-on
workshop with models and fresh
frozen cadaver heads on
advanced bone grafting for
implant placement. One of the unique features of our course is
that we provide panoramic radiographs of every cadaver head to
simulate a realistic learning experience. This is the closest thing to
performing live surgery!
Each participant will receive
a comprehensive manual which
compiles Powerpoint slides from
the lecture, as well as current literature
covering specific surgical
procedures. This makes following
the lecture more enjoyable
than having to take detailed
notes, and provides an excellent
reference back in the office after
the course. Each participant will
also receive a personalized
monogrammed scrub as well as
a soft sided attaché.

COURSE OBJECTIVES
|
After completing this course the clinician should be able to
treatment plan dental implants
based on prosthetic classifications,
divisions of available bone
and classifications of bone density.
The surgeon will be able to
provide appropriate manipulation
and grafting of the soft tissues.
Finally, the implant surgeon will
have a more thorough understanding
of advanced bone grafting
procedures which will ultimately
improve implant success,
longevity and esthetics for their
patients.
