This course is designed to help dentists incorporate hard and soft tissue grafts, as well as advanced implant surgeries into their daily practices. This five-day continuing education course, combines didactic lectures and hands-on workshops with fresh cadaver specimens, to cover a broad range of advanced periodontal/implant surgical techniques.
Topics and Hands On:
- Implant esthetic treatment plan
- Immediate implant placement and immediate provisionalization
- Indications and contraindications for regular periodontal surgeries, periodontal/implant plastic surgery, surgical crown lengthening and advanced bone graft/implant procedures.
- Soft tissue management around dental implants
- Management of common implant complications
- Advanced bone graft procedures that include ridge augmentation, guided bone regeneration (e.g., sandwich bone augmentation, sausage bone augmentation), vertical bone augmentation and sinus lift procedures (e.g., lateral window approach and osteotome technique as well as piezo instrumentation for opening the window)
- Tissue engineering (e.g., growth factors {e.g., platelet derived growth factors (PDGF)}, enamel matrix proteins, gene therapy, and platelet rich plasma (PRP)) could be used to enhance clinical outcomes.
- This CE course combines didactic lectures and hands-on workshops with fresh cadaver specimens to cover a broad range of advanced periodontal/implant surgical techniques.
