This 2 day didactic and hands-on program is for the GP who wants to improve their fundamental surgical skill set. Participants will be able to experience a wide variety of
surgical procedures typically seen in a GP office, but the emphasis will be on developing effective clinical skills in flaps, suturing and extractions.

This course is limited attendance with a low instructor to student ratio and will take place in our simulation lab where you will learn on phantom heads, special dental models, and pig mandibles.

Learning Objectives

• Effectively assess patient and procedural risks
• Develop proficiency in the selection and use of surgical instruments
• Learn and apply surgical approaches to minimize tissue traumaManage
• Recognize and manage complications

Simulation lab experience will include:

• Flap design
• Suturing (interrupted, continuous locking, figure of 8)
• Biopsy techniques
• Simple extractions (forceps and elevators)
•  Surgical extractions (bone and soft tissue sparing)
• Impactions (lower mesio-angular and horizontal)
• Root removal
• Incision and Drainage (drain placement)
• Oral-antral penetration repair (sliding flaps)
• Tongue and lip tie revision
• Socket preservation and basic GB
• Sinus bump (Summers procedure)
• Connective tissue grafting
• Introduction to implant placement (guided and freehand)

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 Retained Overdentures for the GP: The removeable, implant prosthodontic standard of care for over 20 years

The 2002 McGill consensus statement, recommending mandibular two-implant overdentures as the first-choice standard of care for edentulous patients, ushered in a new era of care for patients who had struggled for many years with conventional prostheses. For the first time in its history, the world of removable prosthodontics gained a significant body of clinical outcome data to support recommending this treatment modality. This one-day program will provide general dentists with a profound understanding of what it means to be completely edentulous as well as how patients with a terminal dentition can benefit from the transition to an implant retained overdenture. A series of case histories will highlight the diagnostic criteria, treatment planning sequence of care and the associated maintenance involved in providing this treatment modality. A hands-on training exercise will help familiarize general dentists with the implant prosthodontic components involved.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the reality of the Completely Edentulous Predicament
• Work through the steps involved in Overdenture Treatment Planning
• Gain a better understanding of the required implant overdenture maintenance as well as the management of common complications
• Become familiar with the implant prosthodontic components required for the prescription of implant retained overdentures
