Dental Implant Protocols using Pig Jaw: Hands On Course
7 CEU
Day One starts off with a discussion of basic implant treatment planning.  Bone anatomy, vital structures,  CBCT and other diagnostic tools will be discussed. Implant designs and prosthetic attachments will be discussed to help guide you in choosing surgical and restorative options for success.

You will then be using pig jaw for flap design, extraction techniques, immediate implant placement,  particulate bone graft, membrane placement and suturing techniques. These protocols will be needed in all of your surgical cases.   We are featuring a new implant system: HiOssen : revolutionary thread design and one of the best prosthetic platforms available, high quality, low cost: Hear why Dr. Smith uses this implant system.

Day One will wrap up with Q & A on implant and grafting protocols. If you have not chosen an implant system, this course is for you! If you are using dental implants in your practice, this will give you an opportunity to try the revolutionary new HiOssen Implant System that will save you money.

There will be an extensive list of surgical instruments necessary for you to bring to this course. These materials and supplies will be essential for all of your surgical in office techniques.



Day Two: Still Available
Implant Complications: Failure to Recovery
7 CEU

Also, Bonus: Surgical Emergencies: What You HAVE TO KNOW
This course will lead you through prosthetic complications and surgical complications. There is never a problem with success, but complications and failures create issues that will need experience and expertise to solve. We will discuss minor issues to major implant failure and how to keep the patient and the case moving forward.

This course is for restorative dentists, GP’s placing implants and for specialists who work with restorative dentists. This is a must attend course for all who wish to gain insight from listening to an implantologist with 25 years of implant experience having placed over 6,000 implants and restored these implants.

The only similar course, next year, on implant failure and recovery protocols is offered on the east coast and will cost much more for tuition, time and travel.

The last hour of the course will lead you through an esthetic zone anterior implant failure with major dental and legal issues and show step by step how to bring the patient whole and deliver Health, Function and Beauty! If fear of a day in court is holding you back from placing dental implants, this course will give you the confidence and peace of mind to move forward in your surgical career.
