MCG in Atlanta Dental Implant Continuing Education Course 2010
Often Imitated, Never Duplicated!
Please see what our participants have to say about our Continuing Dental Education Course entitled “MCG/AAID Comprehensive Training Program in Implant Dentistry.”
- I highly recommend this program to anyone who has not had the benefit of a recent and thorough university education in implant dentistry. – Keith Grove, DDS, MS
- The MCG Maxi-Course in implant dentistry is one of the most comprehensive continuing educational experiences I have had. This course offers the best of the best in implant reconstruction, partnered in an environment that facilitates academic excellence. This course, without question, provides exceptional value for the educational experience. I would recommend this course to both beginning implant dentists and advanced reconstruction surgeons alike. – Daniel Brunner, MD, DDS
- The Maxi-Course was one of the most wonderful experiences in my career! I’ve been practicing implant dentistry for 15 years and the course has provided me with up to date knowledge. It also gave me more confidence to continue performing the surgical and restorative phase of this field. At the same time, I was able to share the experience and become good friends with colleagues practicing in different states. Christian Davila, DDS, MS
- I highly recommend the MCG Maxi-Course in implant dentistry. It provides the clinician with a science-based educational experience of the highest quality. Those willing to make the commitment to take this course will benefit greatly. Richard Chichetti, DMD

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 indepth
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 EasyGuide™ interpretation 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. 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 which can be worn in the lab, 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, and have exposure to the practical use
of cone beam software (EasyGuide™). 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.

|
Saturday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Laboratory:
Hands-on computer exercise utilizing
cone beam CT scans of the
cadaver specimen on which you will
be performing bone grafts.
Each participant will evaluate the
CT scan using the EasyGuide™
software. Each participant should
be able to evaluate the sinus for:
height/width, septa, sinus floor,
determine the best place for the
sinus window and determine if the
osteomeatal complex is patent. In
addition, with regard to bone, each
participant should be able to assess
bone height/width, density, and perform
virtual implant placement.
Tracing of the inferior alveolar canal
will also be evaluated.

The Advanced Bone Grafting I
course is designed for the clinician with prior implant
experience who desires to implement millennium technology and state
of the art bone grafting protocols for their implant practice.
The focus will be the application
of the Pikos Institute Philosophy to optimize hard tissue
architecture for predictable surgical implant placement and
restoration. High technology interactive CT diagnosis will be
utilized to improve patient selection, graft site evaluation,
harvest site assessment and minimize complications. Contemporary
surgical bone grafting protocols, including ridge expansion, sinus
grafting, and autogenous block grafting, will be presented with LIVE
Surgical demonstration and hands-on model surgery. A dedicated
section of the course will address bone grafting complications. |
