MASTERING IMPLANTOLOGY

COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING

For decades, we have dreamed of sharing our knowledge and clinical experience with ambitious dentists. Driven by the idea of pursuing new and forward-looking paths in dental education, we have developed five advanced sessions in implantology that offer participants a new learning experience. This experience will become a defining moment in your continuing professional development, allowing you to take your practice to the next level. Through this specialized training, we offer our participants a new vision of contemporary implantology. Training based on scientific literature and techniques clinically applied in our practice for the past 30 years and that allows you to offer your patients optimal and predictable results.
Our goal is to offer advanced refresher courses that challenge participants, improve their manual dexterity, and their surgical and prosthetic skills so that they are able to apply the techniques learned in their own practice as soon as the course is over.
No matter your level of training in implantology, this course is designed to leave you with increased confidence, new skills and renewed practice. A training combining clinically applicable scientific evidence, practical exercises and live surgeries on the patient.
Our modern training facilities in Quebec City await you with a unique spirit and a very special atmosphere. The friends and colleagues you will meet here may come from very different national and professional backgrounds, but they have one thing in common that unites them all: they are very passionate about their profession!

The tilted implant approach has been a revolutionary technique that has changed the way total implant-supported rehabilitation is done.

Increased patient comfort, time savings, cost savings, and improved esthetic outcome are just some of the advantages brought by these treatments in modern dentistry. Thanks to new trans-sinusal and trans-crestal implant placement methods, it is possible to avoid bone grafting and take advantage of residual bone by tilting the implants not only in the mesio-distal but also in the palato-vestibular direction.

You will be able to try the original protocols with your own hands and place implants according to the Tilted Implants approach. Through surgery on anatomical preparation, it will be possible for each participant to try in real bone every rehabilitation option for atrophic jaws: All-on-4 maxillary and mandibular, Trans-Sinus, Trans-Crestal, Pterygoid and Zygomatic implants.

Learning objectives:

-Learn to perform the correct treatment option based on bone availability. 

-Learn  how to place tilted implants following the original all-on-4 and V-II-V protocol.

-Learn how to manage implant failure in total rehabilitation with tilted implants.

-Learn how to perform trans-sinus and trans-crestal implants in thin residual ridge.

-Learn how to place single and double zygomatic implants.

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.

Join us in Whistler to experience the latest advancements in digital implant dentistry from experts in education and science. This two-day program will feature a variety of clinical cases showcasing importance of digital workflows from the esthetic zone to full-arch rehabilitation. Take part in presentation forums, networking opportunities with leading professionals and peers to build relationships to elevate your practice and career. 

Synopsis

MALO CLINIC Education has created a program that provides the participant   with a unique opportunity to understand all surgical alternatives to perform   a standard All-on-4® Concept.

The All-on-4® concept is one of the breakthroughs in Implant Dentistry,   allowing the rehabilitation of the majority of edentulous arches without the   need of bone grafting. Created at MALO CLINIC, the All-on-4® concept it is   backed up by more than 20 years of clinical research with excellent long-term   results.

Today, the All-on-4® concept is up to date with the digital revolution in   implant dentistry, allowing to upgrade surgical and prosthodontic protocols   following a full digital workflow. In this 3-day course, the participants will   gain knowledge on the analogical workflow, the digital approach through 3D   navigated surgery, and the digital workflow with the use of stackable guides;   representing the basis and state-of-the-art approaches to how the   contemporary All-on-4® concept is performed. It includes 3 live surgeries,   backed up by theory, featuring live demonstrations or hands-on from planning   to surgery and hands-on in implant placement (one for each approach)!

Course Overview

• Re-thinking oral rehabilitation – from analogical to digital
• Patient selection and treatment planning
• The esthetic possibilities of the All-on-4® surgical protocol – Prosthetic   rehabilitation
