Immediate implant placement is an appealing treatment concept as it requires minimal surgery, and it offers the possibility for instantaneous tooth replacement with a provisional implant-supported crown. However, the treatment concept needs to be well indicated and the surgical procedure is technically demanding. The purpose of this cadaver course is to provide the implantologist a step-by-step approach to arrive at a predictable outcome with immediate implants. Soft tissue augmentation procedures will also be covered in this cadaver course since these are often needed after immediate implant placement. Different harvesting techniques will be taught.

L'hygiène dentaire n'a plus de secret pour vous, qu'en est-il des implants?

Une surface rugueuse métallique ankylosée dans l'os n'est pas analysée de la même manière qu'une surface lisse, logée dans un système amortisseur et protecteur.

Tous les implants sont-ils les mêmes? Présentent-ils tous les mêmes fragilités face au techniques d'hygiène de nos patients? Comment puis-je au mieux organiser mon contrôle, mes conseils et mes actes pour être le plus performant pour les implants de mes patients?

Autant de questions et bien d'autres qui trouveront une réponse dans cet exposé.

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

Course Fee

• $745 CAD

CE Credits

• 8 hours

In this unique hands-on course, clinicians will learn how to extract teeth in an implant-minded fashion, classify the socket defects and follow the appropriate bone grafting protocol. Various pig mandible exercises will provide clinicians with a complete and enriching day of learning.

Join us for this epic education event with our Mentors to elevate your practice.

Surgical extractions will become predictable, efficient and minimally invasive from the patient’s perspective.

You will learn how to simplify your implant surgery by addressing the bone during tooth extraction, resulting in alveolar ridges that are suitable for a straight forward implant surgery.

We are excited to help you in any way possible to meet your implant needs and address any questions in a friendly, collaborative, and supportive learning environment. Sharpen your scalpels and sign up soon before it’s too late! Space is limited.

Learning Objectives:

• The implant-minded dental extraction technique

Orale implantologie is niet meer weg te denken uit het aanbod van behandelingen die u als mogelijke behandeloptie aan uw patiënt kan voorleggen.

Implantologie wordt steeds belangrijker in de algemene praktijk. Doorgaans ziet de algemeen practicus wel de indicatie en is hij daarnaast ook in steeds grotere mate bereid om de prothetische suprastructuur te vervaardigen. 

Aan de hand van klinische casussen en hands-on oefeningen wordt de cursist wegwijs gemaakt vanaf de diagnostiek tot de afbehandeling van de suprastructuur.

De cursist krijgt de kans om kennis te maken met de techniek en hindernissen tijdens de definitieve afdruk. Hij zal leren om een afgewogen keuze te maken tussen de verschillende implantaatopbouwen die beschikbaar zijn. Inzicht wordt verschaft in de methode van het plaatsen en vastzetten van prothetische structuren op implantaten.

Aan het einde van de dag heeft de deelnemer voldoende bagage gekregen om in vertrouwen zijn implantaatcasus aan te vatten.
