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.

Nobel Biocare – Um Legado de Inovação

2 Days of Clinical Residence with Prof. Paulo Malo, doing All-on-4® cases, Zygoma cases and single as well multiple implants in complex cases. Introduction to different techniques and new products: Hands-on, live surgery, lectures, prosthetics considerations and clinical case discussions. Follow complex prosthetic cases with the Malo Dental team.

The All-on-4® treatment concept is a highly efficient and effective solution for patients who are edentulous or facing tooth loss. This innovative approach uses four implants to support a full-arch prosthesis, which can be delivered immediately, offering patients rapid and reliable results. During 2 Days of Clinical Residence with Prof. Paulo Malo, the pioneer of the All-on-4®protocol, will guide on how the patient will have immediate function and excellent esthetics with a limited number of implants This course also introduces a variety of other cases such as zygoma, single and multiple implants through hands-on activities, live surgeries, lectures, prosthetic considerations, and clinical case discussions. Participants will have the opportunity to follow complex prosthetic cases guided by Prof. Paulo Malo, gaining practical skills and deeper clinical insight.

Learning outcomes:

• Explore different techniques and new products through  hands-on activities, live surgeries, and in-depth lectures.

An ideal treatment plan requires thorough esthetic, functional, and structural analysis, supported by radiographic and digital examinations. Necessary adjustments to optimize teeth and soft tissues are transferred to the technician to create a wax-up and a diagnostic/functional mock-up. With 3D technology, it is now possible to create a patient “avatar,” enhancing diagnosis, planning, communication, and interdisciplinary workflows — applicable to both esthetic cases and complex full-arch rehabilitations. In implant therapy, diagnosis and treatment planning is still more demanding due to the critical aspect of the soft tissue contour and volume.

The success of implant-supported prostheses depends on optimal integration of all interfaces prosthetic, esthetic, soft tissue, and bone — through well-chosen surgical and restorative protocols. A solid grasp of biological principles and proper material selection are essential for achieving a stable mucosal seal and natural esthetic outcomes. Perfect esthetic integration relies on three pillars: diagnosis and prosthetic planning, proper management of the bone compartment, and careful handling of the supracrestal soft tissue compartment. The latter, increasingly important in modern implantology, is critical for avoiding complications and major esthetic defects.

Safe treatment in esthetic zones begins with thorough evaluation and selection of the most suitable surgical-prosthetic strategy. Finalization requires in-depth knowledge of restorative materials to replicate in the definitive prosthesis all the features tested in provisionals. Close collaboration with the lab and the use of digital workflows improve quality and efficiency. Cementation — especially adhesive protocols — is a critical phase, with specific guidelines for glass ceramics and zirconia. New ceramic materials and adhesive techniques have reshaped restorative dentistry, promoting minimally invasive preparations that preserve enamel and tooth structure.             

Digital workflows, including intraoral scanning, integrate these solutions seamlessly. Managing provisional restorations and accurately transferring esthetic and functional parameters to the lab are key steps. During this week-long course, all these aspects will be thoroughly explored from both a scientific and clinical perspective, with a strong practical approach to enable immediate application of the illustrated protocols. Ample attention will be devoted to the latest advancements in fixed prosthodontics and interdisciplinary protocols, with the aim of optimizing prognosis and the integration of the prosthetic restoration.
