This 3-day program (30 CE) delivers a comprehensive understanding of the principles of atraumatic extraction, bone grafting, and immediate dental implant placement. We discuss the different bone grafting and membrane materials and techniques. You will leave this program with the ability to comfortably select cases for immediate extraction, grafting, and implant placement. Our program is evidence based, with a focus on shedding practical tips and tricks, and hands-on training, to allow you to provide effective and efficient implant therapy to your patients.

Learning Objectives

• Atraumatic extraction principles
• Proper instruments for treatment
• Bone biology & socket healing principles
• Mechanical extraction systems 
• Bone grafting materials & principles
• Membrane materials & principles 
• Understanding which techniques to use when
• Implant Placement (Hands-on)
• Immediate implant placement (Hands-on)
• Basic suturing techniques & flap design (Hands-on)

Socket Grafting & Ridge augmentation (Hands-on)

This 2-day program will show case all the steps involved in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution of immediate provisionalization for the full-arch hands-on training, you will understand this remarkable same day solution for completely edentulous patients and those with a terminal dentition.

• Case selection and treatment planning.
• Pre-operative, surgical and prosthodontic workflows. 
• Hands-on experience for the conversion of a removable complete denture into a fixed immediately inserted transitional prosthesis.

Implant Surgery & Restoratively Driven Treatment

• Treatment planning & Nobel Clinician
• Anatomical considerations & biology
• Proper implant placement in 4 dimensions
• Single tooth implant surgery (Hands-on)
• Multiple tooth implant surgery
• Edentulous implant surgery 
• Implant placement (Hands-on) 
• Basic suturing techniques & flap design (Hands-on)
• Bone physiology & healing • Implant pharmacology 
• Stage 2 implant surgery & soft tissue considerations (Hands-on)

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.

The predictable management of the Maxillary Sinus requires an understanding of treatment options including direct and indirect site preparation for placement of dental implants.  Having confidence in treating the posterior maxilla is essential for being able to manage full mouth oral rehabilitation.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the role of posterior dentition in dentition stability
• Identify the pathology related related to Maxillary Sinus and appropriate treatment options
• Learn the surgical approaches to managing the Maxillary Sinus (direct and indirect techniques)
• Understand essential management of Soft and Hard Tissue
• Extrusions of the Posterior Maxilla
• Review case studies including 30 year follow-up
• Review Essential criteria for successful bone grafting
• Learn Soft Tissue Management for Bone Grafting (appropriate incisions, site exposure, closing and suturing for advanced bone grafts)
• Learn about Advanced Particulate Bone Grafts
• Know the use of Biologics in Bone Grafting (PRF, PRP)
• Review of case studies of Advanced Bone Grafts in both Simple and Advanced Prosthetic Cases
• Learn the basics of Ridge Expansion Grafts
• Learn the basics of Block Bone Grafts (donor sites, allograft blocks)
• Understand the mechanics of Lateral Positioning of the IAN
• Understand Complication Management Strategies

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

5) Temporary crown fabrication

6) Place, pick up, and size locators for mandibular overdentures
