A unique live surgical opportunity to learn the All on 4® treatment with digital workflow from expert instructors.

Each attending dentist will treat an upper and lower arch and learn the digital workflow process to immediate temporization of a 3D printed prosthesis.

This introduction to dental implant surgery is a 3-day course where attending dentists will have two and a half days of live surgical training, ½ day of live hands-on exercise, and 4 hours of online learning.

The hands-on will include learning implant drilling techniques and becoming familiar with the intricacies of the surgical kit. Attending dentists will also practice suturing techniques on suture pads and learn materials for site prep. For the live surgical portion, dentists will treat patients in different clinical situations. Dentists will plan and treatment plan each case with the instructors for optimal patient care.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will have gained a greater understanding of the necessary skills, techniques, instruments, and materials that are required for dental implant surgery.

The small details of operating a busy dental practice with a growing population of implant outcomes.

Spend three hours with Dr. Meek as he shares the current state of dental hygiene and maintenance protocols for full-arch appliances. Do you take the appliance off at each hygiene visit? When should restorative screws be replaced? Simple questions, but does your practice operate within guidelines? Come and get the skinny on keeping those full-arch restorations healthy.

Photography
In digital workflow, photography is essential. Full arch is a collaborative game and your lab partner needs the best from you so you can get the best from them. This short course in clinical photography will provide guidelines for what type of equipment you’ll need and how to set it up for consistent, solid communication.

Case acceptance
This segment of the course will review both soft skills and hard facts about patient compliance and your dental practice. This section includes information about your practice website and search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to fortify your private practice presence.

There are a lot of special precautions when we do dental implants at the posterior maxillary and mandibular region. It’s never meant to be very easy, although not esthetically as important when compare with the implant in the esthetic zone. All sorts of posterior problems such as the ID nerve and lingual nerve, the maxillary sinus, the proximity to the throat and airway, the accessibility due to the cheek and the tongue makes placing dental implant in this region more challenging. Moreover, there are unique resorption pattern such as maxillary sinus pneumontization and the typical knife edge posterior mandibular ridge and loss of vertical bone volume sometimes made dental implant placement very difficult and risky.

This course aims to walk you through the journey of knowing the limitation, pre-operative assessment and decision marking when doing dental implant at the posterior region of the jaw. Bone augmentation at this area will be mentioned as well as immediate placement. We hope to give you some up-to-date evidence based practical tips during the 2 days learning. Live surgical demonstration, hands-on practical sessions and case base small group discussions will also be provided, hoping to make the course more interactive. We will see you there!
Topics will include

• Decision making on posterior region 
• Soft tissue management at posterior zone
• Immediate implant placement in posterior region
• Sinus augmentation, GBR & material 
• Complication on dental implant surgery
• Peri-implantitis and treatment

This interactive course will include detailed lectures, hands-on surgical activities, implant protocol review, case presentations and live treatments.

The resorption of the posterior maxilla impacts the ability to place implants in most patients and will prevent patient satisfaction and an improvement in their quality of life. Implementing the sinus lift technique for your practice will allow more patients to experience dental implants and the benefits they provide.

This 3-Day Live Surgical Sinus Lift Training contains two full days of live surgical training each dentist will perform on average four lateral window sinus lifts. Attending dentists will become familiar with the instrumentation and W&H Piezo Surgical Console.
