Learn how to PLAN, PLACE and RESTORE Single Implants on your OWN patient in a "Step-by-Step" approach that will allow you to offer Predictable & Consistently Successful Results.

Participants will be introduced to the surgical and esthetic restorative phases of single implants (although cases that require 2 adjacent implants will be discussed). The fundamental rationale will be presented on treatment planning, radiographic assessment, choosing the appropriate implant, risk factors, abutment selection, surgical placement, bone grafting, esthetic considerations and occlusion.
Socket preservation, Lateral ridge augmentation & Immediate Implant Placement into fresh extraction sockets will be discussed in lecture format in detail.
A live demo surgery will be performed by one or more of the surgical instructors.

Participants will perform hands-on surgeries under 1 on 1 supervision on their own patient!

Suitable patients have been pre-screened and are available for dentist participants

Contact us if you are out of town and need a patient for this course.

After osseointegration takes place, the participants will continue with the restorative phase of treatment.

They will learn to take different kinds of Fixture Level and Abutment Level Final Impressions; they will learn to fabricate chair-side temporary crowns and they will place on their patient the Final All Ceramic (Procera) or Metal-Ceramic Crown.

We encourage dentists who register for this course to contact the Course Mentor (Dr. IRINAKIS) in order to discuss their surgical case at least 3 weeks prior to course commencement date.

At the completion of this course, participants will:

1. Understand the methodology and rationale for single implant placement and restoration.

2. Develop protocols to implement treatment planning strategies (which may involve bone grafting)

3. Demonstrate the techniques required for the surgical & restorative phases of single implant therapy

4. Manage postoperative phase and/or problems of the uncomplicated implant patient.
