Genesis: Implant Retained Overdentures for the GP
Implant Retained Overdentures for the GP: The removeable, implant prosthodontic standard of care for over 20 years
The 2002 McGill consensus statement, recommending mandibular two-implant overdentures as the first-choice standard of care for edentulous patients, ushered in a new era of care for patients who had struggled for many years with conventional prostheses. For the first time in its history, the world of removable prosthodontics gained a significant body of clinical outcome data to support recommending this treatment modality. This one-day program will provide general dentists with a profound understanding of what it means to be completely edentulous as well as how patients with a terminal dentition can benefit from the transition to an implant retained overdenture. A series of case histories will highlight the diagnostic criteria, treatment planning sequence of care and the associated maintenance involved in providing this treatment modality. A hands-on training exercise will help familiarize general dentists with the implant prosthodontic components involved.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the reality of the Completely Edentulous Predicament
- Work through the steps involved in Overdenture Treatment Planning
- Gain a better understanding of the required implant overdenture maintenance as well as the management of common complications
- Become familiar with the implant prosthodontic components required for the prescription of implant retained overdentures
Genesis: 2 Day Oral Surgery Skills Course for General Practitioners
This 2 day didactic and hands-on program is for the GP who wants to improve their fundamental surgical skill set. Participants will be able to experience a wide variety of
surgical procedures typically seen in a GP office, but the emphasis will be on developing effective clinical skills in flaps, suturing and extractions.
This course is limited attendance with a low instructor to student ratio and will take place in our simulation lab where you will learn on phantom heads, special dental models, and pig mandibles.
Learning Objectives
- Effectively assess patient and procedural risks
- Develop proficiency in the selection and use of surgical instruments
- Learn and apply surgical approaches to minimize tissue traumaManage
- Recognize and manage complications
Simulation lab experience will include:
- Flap design
- Suturing (interrupted, continuous locking, figure of 8)
- Biopsy techniques
- Simple extractions (forceps and elevators)
- Surgical extractions (bone and soft tissue sparing)
- Impactions (lower mesio-angular and horizontal)
- Root removal
- Incision and Drainage (drain placement)
- Oral-antral penetration repair (sliding flaps)
- Tongue and lip tie revision
- Socket preservation and basic GB
- Sinus bump (Summers procedure)

Genesis: Immediate Implant Protocols
This small group comprehensive 2-Day program focuses on the merits of embracing Immediacy as a patient centered implant prosthodontic treatment solution. Through a series of live and previously recorded surgeries, formal presentations, group discussions and hands-on training, dental teams will become familiar with the merits of Immediacy Protocols for both the single tooth and full arch solutions. Particular emphasis will be placed on how best to have the entire team embrace and advocate for Immediacy Protocols to be adopted in dental practices.
DDI S4: PRF & Live Surgery
Core Mini-Residency in Oral Implantology
Session 4: PRF Workshop & Live-Patient Implant Surgery Program
The first day of this 3-day (30 CE) program focuses on the science and protocols of utilizing PRF and PRP in different clinical applications. Venipuncture is taught by a highly-experience 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 so no better way to start placing implants routinely, than to complete the first few cases done the supervision of an expert.
- Pre-surgical planning
- Implant surgical principles
- Post-operative principles
- Surgical placement of implants and adjunctive procedures needed to complete the case such as atraumatic extractions, ridge augmentation, PRF utilization and indirect sinus grafting (Hands-on)
- Case review and discussion on important clinical issues
- Complication avoidance & management
- The science and difference between the three leading PRF protocols: L-PRF, A-PRF, and PRGF
- Clinical application for both hard tissue and soft tissue procedures
- Venipuncture, taught by a highly-experience phlebotomy instructor (Hands-on)
