Implant
Continuum
March – November 2010
216 Hours of C.E. Credit
Completion Satisfies ICOI Fellowship Requirements
Learn the skills you need to competently place and restore dental implants
Featuring:
Mentored Placement of Implants by Students
Live Surgeries
Lectures
Hands-on Training
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
|
This course offers a unique educational opportunity featuring a proven curriculum taught by the world’s premiere implant educators. Through lectures, workshops, and one-on-one mentoring, participants learn the following skills
- Implant surgical placement and restoration
- Associated bone preservation and ridge augmentation grafting
- Connective tissue grafting (including coronally repositioned soft tissue grafting)
In nine three-day sessions spread over nine months, the Continuum provides participants with ample opportunity both to learn and to apply new techniques. Par will develop actual cases from their own practices, beginning with diagnosis and treatment planning, proceeding through surgical guide fabrication and 3-D image analysis, and culminating in implant placement. Each participant has the opportunity to place single and multiple implants under the careful guidance of the Triangle Dental Institute faculty. The Dental Implant Continuum qualifies for 216 hours of C.E. Credit and satisfies the requirements for the ICOI Fellowship.
Technique labs, which begin at 10:00am each Friday, feature live surgeries, lectures on the science and techniques behind the surgeries, and hands-on workshops. Forty-plus hours of hands-on workshops enable participants to visualize the intricacies of lecture material. Through watching, listening, and practicing, participants gain both knowledge and proficiency in cutting-edge techniques.
Hands-on Workshops Include:
- Occlusion techniques in implantology
- Implant placement on sawdust jaws
- 3-D digital imaging manipulation
- Surgical guide fabrication on preparatory models from participants’ own patients
- Suturing techniques on pig jaws
- Surgical flaps design and manipulation on sawdust jaws and later on pig jaws
- Soft tissue grafting on pig jaws
- Staff education operatory set-up, patient presentation skills, setup of implant armamentarium
Each Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 5:00pm, featured speakers provide in-depth information in their particular areas of expertise (see Course Schedule, pp.4-8). Throughout the course, representatives from the major implant systems, specialty instrument manufacturers and grafting material suppliers will be on-site to ensure that the participants gain a broad understanding of all products and techniques available.
Since successful implant dentistry depends upon the involvement of the entire practice, the November session provides the opportunity for participants to train and certify (ICOI) their team members.. The goals for this session include incorporating implant surgery into participants’ practices and providing staff with the skills and confidence necessary to assist in placing implants. Together, teams will view live surgeries and attend lectures on case presentation, office organization and implant maintenance. In special break-out sessions, team members will learn how to set up specialized equipment and how to effectively assist throughout the entire implant process.
All lectures and laboratory sessions take place in a state-of-the-art facility located just minutes from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). The Research Triangle Park area is unparalleled in its commitment to research and technology, its beauty and its Southern hospitality.
