Mastering implant surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation: A comprehensive guide from theory to practice
4 days theory, hands-on and live surgery
5 days planning and treatment on patients
Intense theoretical-practical course
This immersive course is designed to elevate your skills in implant surgery and prosthetic rehabilitation, taking you through a complete learning journey—from foundational anatomical principles to complex clinical applications. Whether you are an experienced clinician looking to refine your expertise or a practitioner eager to deepen your understanding of implantology, this course offers a unique blend of theory, hands-on practice, and clinical case management.
Starting with a thorough evaluation of anatomical bases, we will explore the indications for implant placement, focusing on the crown-down approach. This technique enables participants to identify the future free gingival margin and assess whether the site requires tissue regeneration or is in an optimal condition. We will then dive into prosthetic profile evaluation as a fundamental step in surgical planning, followed by an in-depth analysis of various implant site scenarios: immediate post-extraction implants, implants in healed tissues, and advanced soft and hard tissue management.
Key surgical techniques will be covered, including connective tissue graft, free gingival graft, horizontal and vertical bone augmentation, and soft tissue management. We will also explore the biological considerations of the implant-to-restoration interface, ensuring long-term success. Alongside these surgical principles, emphasis will be placed on the planning and design of prosthetic rehabilitation, balancing the critical biological factors with the aesthetic excellence required for every restoration.
During the second session of the course, participants will be tasked with applying the knowledge gained in the first phase. You will plan and execute clinical cases, starting from patient evaluation and surgical planning to the actual surgery, concluding with the delivery of provisional restorations where applicable. This real-world application solidifies the concepts learned and gives you the confidence to bring these advanced techniques into your practice.
Take home concepts:
- Comprehensive understanding of anatomical foundations and implant indications
- Mastery of the crown-down technique for optimal implant placement
- Proficiency in assessing prosthetic profiles for precise surgical planning
- Experience with immediate post-extraction implants and implants in healed sites
- Advanced techniques in soft tissue management, including free gingival grafts and connective tissue grafts
- Expertise in the evaluation and planning of bone regeneration treatments, both vertical and horizontal augmentations
- Insights into the biological principles of the implant-to-prosthetic interface
- Practical application of surgical planning, case management, and provisional restoration delivery
- The ability to confidently plan, execute, and manage complex implant and prosthetic cases from start to finish
This course will provide you with not only the theoretical knowledge but also the practical skills needed to elevate your practice and deliver exceptional patient outcomes.

Implantologie einmal anders betrachtet. Kurs 4 – Weichgewebemanagement. Notwendig oder überbewertet?
Wer Implantologie betreibt, der weiß, was auch die wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen bestätigen: Das Weichgewebe um ein Implantat ist ein sehr schwer zu erhaltendes und noch schwerer zu schaffendes Gewebe.
Der Inhalt in diesem Kurs ist speziell dem Weichgewebe, Freilegungen und Weichgewebetransplantaten sowie der Schaffung adäquater Verhältnisse um das Implantat herum gewidmet.
Chirurgische Komplikationen und Periimplantitis lassen sich in keiner implantologisch tätigen Praxis gänzlich vermeiden – oder doch? Können wir es mit moderner Hardware schaffen, das Problem zu reduzieren?
In diesem Kurs wird das Implantat des in Kurs 1 versorgten Patienten freigelegt, so dass der Behandlungsablauf praxisrelevant nachverfolgt werden kann. Durch die entsprechende Bilddokumentation des bisherigen Behandlungsablaufs ist der Inhalt dieses Seminars auch für Teilnehmer, die nur diesen Kurs besuchen wollen, komplett nachvollziehbar.
