Surgical and restorative protocol continuum

This continuum is designed to equip you with the skills, strategies, and confidence to perform implant treatment from start to finish.  All phases of the process will be taught and trained with hands-on experience, including case evaluation, surgery, impression, restorative design and manufacturing.  Established on principles of zero bone loss concepts with the newest research and innovative approaches to create healthy tissue a biocompatible implant solution.

 

This course is a continuum consisting of two sessions.  The first session will focus on surgical treatment.  The second will focus on restorative design, conditioning and manufacturing.

 

This intense two part continuum, 3 days per course, will give doctors training in the following categories:

This intense CONTINUUM style course will give doctors training in the following categories:

​

• Evaluate patient candidacy for dental implant treatment through proper case selection

• CBCT review of scans to analyze anatomical structures and guide implant treatment planning

• Conduct comprehensive medical assessments relevant to implant surgery success

• Apply knowledge of dental anatomy to ensure safe and accurate implant placement

• Differentiate between implant designs and surface treatments, including the benefits of hydrocarbon removal

• Perform fundamental implant surgical techniques, including osteotomy preparation and implant placement in both simulation and live-patient scenarios

• Execute immediate implant placement protocols and utilize custom tissue formers to support esthetic soft tissue outcomes

• Apply effective suture techniques to ensure optimal wound closure and healing

• Incorporate biological materials such as Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and bone marrow aspiration from the Maxillary tuberosity to enhance regenerative outcomes

• Perform both lateral and crestal sinus augmentation procedures with attention to anatomy and technique

• Recognize and manage post-operative complications to ensure patient safety and implant success

• Deliver provisional and final prosthetic restorations with an understanding of restorative workflows

• Utilize digital dentistry tools such as intraoral scanners and 3D design software to streamline implant restoration design and manufacturing

• Establish long-term maintenance protocols for monitoring implant health and preventing peri-mucositis and peri-implantitis

• Translate knowledge and clinical experience into actionable skills that can be implemented immediately in general practice
