The aim of this course is to outline a systematic approach to prosthetic rehabilitation and help the clinician to confidently address comprehensive treatment involving bridges, crowns, veneers and onlays on natural dentition and on implants, from a single restoration to full-mouth rehabilitation. The application of systematic approach, represents, especially for complex rehabilitations, an indispensable means of achieving optimal final results, from the esthetic as well as biological and functional viewpoints. The course will also take in consideration the new digital approach to the prosthetic rehabilitation following the concept pf the “Digital Patient” able to provide the highest grade of information to obtain a predictable prosthetic result.

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!

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.

The hands-on MIT course is designed to familiarize you with implant components both surgically and prosthetically. In addition, the goal is for you to gain comfort with the procedures as outlined below. For those of you with experience in dental implants, you will gain tips and tricks from our experienced clinicians. Given the synergy between surgery and prosthetics, it’s important to understand both, regardless of your area of interest.

Learning Objectives:

The following model-based procedures will be included in the hands-on instruction:

1) Review anatomy and surgical protocol

2) Place 2 implants for mandibular overdenture

3) Place single implants

4) Suturing procedures on a soft tissue model
