Core 3: Atraumatic Extraction & Bone Grafting - Dr. Ron Zokol

This 3-day program (30 CE) delivers a comprehensive understanding of the principles of atraumatic extraction, bone grafting, and immediate dental implant placement. We discuss the different bone grafting and membrane materials and techniques. You will leave this program with the ability to comfortably select cases for immediate extraction, grafting, and implant placement. Our program is evidence based, with a focus on learning practical tips and tricks, and hands-on training, to allow you to provide effective and efficient implant therapy to your patients.

Core 4: PRF Workshop & Live-Patient Implant Surgery Program - Dr. Ron Zokol

The first day of this 3-day program focuses on the science and protocols of utilizing PRF and PRP in different clinical applications. Venipuncture is taught by a highly experienced phlebotomy instructor. The remaining two days will be spent treating patients under the supervision of an experience DDI faculty member. Participants will apply their previous didactic and hands-on training, such as atraumatic extractions, implant placement, bone grafting, suturing, and much more. Our participants all agree that there is no better way to start placing implants routinely, than to complete the first few cases done with the supervision of an expert.

Summary

Join this masterclass in which the current scientific improvements will be discussed, regarding osseointegration, mucointegration and ‘one abutment one time’ protocols from anterior esthetic rehabilitation to full-arch rehabilitations. We will look back on what we have learned in the last 15 years of implantology and look forward to new possibilities in the field of digital technology, implant and abutment surfaces, new abutment and restorative concepts, a selection of restorative materials and planning the emergence profile with a biologically driven concept.

The course will be interactive, where science and clinical practice will come together.

Course objectives & details

The course will cover in-depth discussion and learnings in the following topics:

• Esthetic therapy in fixed prosthodontics: step by step analysis and workflow.
  Digitalization of the dental clinic: a new clinical workflow and an amazing tool for the communication.
• 15 years of implant evolution, what have we learned?
  The biological width around dental implants: importance in restoration, surgical and prosthetic procedures.
• Management of the implant / abutment interface area (IAI): the key point for the ideal complete integration of the final restoration.
• Interfaces in implant therapy: a biologically driven concept.
• Covering bone interface, soft tissue interface, restorative interface and esthetic interface through an interactive lecture, discussion and evaluation of treated clinical cases.
• The one abutment one time concept: surgical and prosthetic considerations
  Digital approach for idealizing the integration of the prosthetic outcome.
• Prosthetic and surgical planning: preserve, recreate or replace the soft tissue morphology around implants.
• Soft tissue management in the esthetic area in cases with delayed approach: prosthetic aspects and techniques.
• Soft tissue management in the esthetic area in cases with immediate function: prosthetic aspects and technique.
• The role of a multidisciplinary approach in modern restorative dentistry.
• How to transfer the soft tissue morphology to the LAB? Digital vs Analogic.
• The treatment of the fully edentulous patient with implants: strategy and solutions. Occlusal and biomechanical aspects.
• Live surgery broadcast from Dr. Staas’ clinic with moderation and Q&A with Dr. Tristan Staas and Dr. Giacomo Fabbri

Designed for smaller groups, this observation program will allow you to follow in detail the daily work and surgical schedule of MALO CLINIC Clinical team with a key focus on high skilled cases as well as on the combination of the All-on-4® surgical protocol with the use of zygoma implants; for severely atrophic maxillae, this procedure is complemented with extra-maxillary anchored implants - Hybrid and Double-Zygoma approaches - which treatment planning and placement will be covered in detail during this training session.

Zygomatic implant treatment plays a pivotal role in rehabilitating edentulous maxillae, especially in cases of extreme bone atrophy. This session deep dives in the essential criteria for selecting zygomatic implants as the treatment option,  emphasizing on anatomical guided decision making process, surgical concepts, and the importance of specialized skill training. Where are the boundaries for Zygoma treatment vs other full arch rehabilitation protocols?

Designed for those that want to broaden their experience in implant dentistry on total edentulous patients, including Zygoma cases, this training covers the All-on-4® surgical protocol in detail concentrating on all existing approaches – Standard, Hybrid and Double-Zygoma – offering participants a comprehensive training that will allow them to gain the skills and know-how to successfully rehabilitate atrophic mandibles/maxillae as well as severely resorbed maxillae in just a few hours,
